When Chase Daniel was cut on Saturday, he said he was told he would get the quarterback spot on the practice squad if he cleared waivers. Instead, the Redskins went with Woodson. Daniel was signed to the Saints' practice squad.
While disappointed and frustrated, Woodson said he had no hard feelings toward the Giants. He also said he knows the Giants' playbook and realizes who is paying him now.
"I'm definitely a little bit familiar with it," he said. "Right now, anything to help the Redskins out, I'm willing to do."
Giants offensive tackle David Diehl said the move was part of the game.
"We're going to have to change a few things verbiage-wise, like we do each and every week," Diehl said. "We play this team two times a year and every time we play them we come up with little different things, a little different terminology to keep them on edge."
Defensive end Justin Tuck was coy at first when asked he if knew what the Giants' offense was going to run in training camp after hearing Manning bark out the same audible calls day after day.
Then he got serious.
"Think about it with our offense. We know what some words mean, but we don't know when it's a live word," Tuck said. "He can say (something) and tell everyone in the huddle to disregard it when he says it."
Manning downplayed the signing. He said the Redskins don't know what plays the Giants are running and that the audible calls - which can change a play entirely or the direction it is being run - might be hard to decipher.
"I don't know if they will be able to hear everything we're doing, and we're at home, so I'm not real concerned about it," Manning said.
The mystery will play out Sunday.
