The Giants are hoping that second-year wide receiver Ramses Barden will make big strides in this season. Barden, a third round pick last April, arrived in New York last season as an interesting option given his Plaxico Burress-like size. He's 6'6" and 229 pounds. "The old adage of your biggest improvement should come between year one and two is absolutely essential to this guy to understand, and he does," wide receivers coach Sean Ryan said. "To me, he's more comfortable."
