Jeff Feagles

For Giants' Feagles, it's all about the snap

Saturday night marks Jeff Feagles' 20th preseason opener. The Giants' punter has long since forgotten the butterflies of playing in a big stadium for the first time or about the stress of having to win a job in the preseason. Still, Feagles, 41, is approaching the game against the Panthers with something more than his usual approach. That's because he'll have two new snappers delivering him the ball. Ryan Kuehl, Feagles' snapper for punts and field goals (Feagles is the Giants' holder) the last three seasons, is out for a significant stretch with a partially torn calf muscle. So Feagles will be receiving the ball from rookie linebacker Zak DeOssie for punts and rookie defensive tackle Jay Alford on field goals and extra-point attempts.
