Fantasy Football Challenge - May 2004 Fantasy Football Articles

Washington, Patrick Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Kevin Walter (and other veterans) -- who hit the field Friday did so under NFL rules that allow veterans to participate in a prescribed number of on-field coaching days in the offseason.
The final four practices of the mini-camp will be for rookies only.
Meanwhile in New York. ... Eli Mannings first mini-camp workout with the Giants was somewhat of a bust.
According to AP sports writer Tom Canavan, Manning botched two snaps, threw an interception and slipped on another pass, sending a wobbling duck of a toss on a 30-30 route, 30-yards up in the air and 30 yards downfield.
But it was caught by Tim Carter for a completion.
"I still have a lot of improvement to make, a lot to learn," Manning said, surrounded by about 50 reporters. "Its going to be a long process and I look forward to it."
While Manning made some nice throws, free-agent rookie quarterback Jared Lorenzen threw the ball with more zip.
The fumbles on the snaps were sloppy. Manning worked with two different centers in the drills.
"He had excellent huddle command," head coach Tom Coughlin said -- according to Canavan, a little sarcastically.
But Coughlin, who spoke with Manning after the fumbles, also liked what he saw from the Mississippi quarterback.
"Hes fine, hes going to be fine," Coughlin said. "It will take a little time. There are a lot of things to adjust to. Obviously all the new things thrown at him, the different receivers, the different people working with him, the high grass. It will come. It will be fine."
Defensive end Michael Strahan said Manning is like a deer in the headlights now.
"Im just expecting him to come in and do his best," Strahan said. "I dont think there is any pressure on him to come and take over this team and be the man. I think he has to understand we are all willing to wait and to be patient with him."
Manning handled the situation like a veteran.
