The theme of Giants camp was supposed to be "Shut up and play," which is essentially the message Tom Coughlin delivered to Osi Umenyiora Monday night. Hours after ripping Simeon Rice and insisting he won't move from right defensive end if Rice is signed by the Giants, Umenyiora landed in Coughlin's doghouse and got a lecture from the coach. Neither party revealed details of their discussion, although GM Jerry Reese insisted, "I don't think that's a big deal at all. "Players try to protect players," Reese said. "I don't think Osi meant that in any malicious way towards the New York Giants. Osi's being a good little brother trying to protect Michael Strahan, one of his mentors." Coughlin told Umenyiora that even if the Giants do sign Rice, who has primarily played on the right side, Umenyiora would not have to switch to the left. "That was never even a fathom," Coughlin. "There was no discussion about any of that. Osi is a rising young player, he plays right end."
