John Clay's Sidelines

Andre Woodson, the Giants' sixth-round pick, will finally get to make his debut as a Giants quarterback Monday night against the Cleveland Browns. Woodson, a 24-year-old out of Kentucky, was the only one of the three backup quarterbacks who did not play in the Giants' preseason opener in Detroit on Aug. 7. He was scheduled to play, but when it was his turn there were only about two minutes left and the game was still close – and he hadn't been prepared yet to run the two-minute offense. "He's done the two-minute drill now," Tom Coughlin said yesterday. "Obviously he's a young kid and needs to do it more and more to be comfortable with it. We'll give him a limited menu."

Woodson will be the third quarterback in, likely sometime in the third quarter. Eli Manning will start and play about 25 plays. Anthony Wright will come next, followed by Woodson and David Carr. Coughlin said he will make sure that all four quarterbacks play.

Andre' Woodson is under no illusion about how much command he has of the Giants New York Giants offensive playbook.

"Right now I don't have the best understanding of it," said Woodson, a rookie quarterback from Kentucky. "This system is very detailed, it's difficult to pick up, and they've thrown a lot at me. That's the most frustrating thing; there is so much offense that you want to learn, but if you don't have a great understanding or feel for it, it can show in your play."

Woodson will get his first chance to play against the Browns tonight in the Giants' second preseason game, as he'll be the third quarterback behind Eli Manning Eli Manning and Anthony Wright Anthony Wright . Woodson is expected to hit the field in the third quarter and eventually give way to David Carr, as coach Tom Coughlin wants to get some action for all four quarterbacks.

"He is like a lot of young quarterbacks, he has it all upstairs as far as what the plays are, but he is still working on being able to pull it out," quarterbacks coach Chris Palmer said. "I'm very happy with his delivery. He came into camp with a little hitch in his delivery, which has improved."
