Asked about his first day as an NFL player, Mario Manningham noted that he made his share of mistakes (on the field). When told that Coughlin had said he showed flashes, he seemed pleased, but said no one has a perfect practice their first time.
"You’re not just, on your first day, going to get it Johnny on the dot," Manningham said.
Manningham may mix his metaphors a bit, and even produce a few new ones we didn't know about, but he looks to have all the skills that were promised on the field. In the end, he can come up with as many malaprops as he wants if he produces.
