Giants Sign QB Rusty Smith
The Giants, today, added another camp arm when the signed former Titan Rusty Smith. Smith got some buzz coming out of Florida Atlantic during the 2005 draft, but he's really just been a back up, and he may or may not be able to beat out the other backups. Seems like they want a lot of arms so that more player can work on the new O at any given time.
UPDATE: So this apparently happened because Curtis Painter had knee surgery on Friday and it's a 4 week turnaround. Thus, Smith is another arm for OTA's.

I don't think Painter is any good, but I wish him well.
The best part of the Smith signing is the effect on beat reporters. The good ones see it for what it is while the marginal ones are creating theories about camp competition and what the coaching staff thinks of each. Meanwhile, there are three or four guys over at Giants Central who know Smith needs a locker and equipment. The travel department already has approval for a return ticket...
I know Coughlin said he wants to keep two QB, but I think that if Freeman shows anything resembling the ability to be fixed, he will stick, and I can't believe that they would cut Nassib.
