The Jets and Giants got together for their first joint practice in 17 years on Thursday and it was brawl-free and uneventful.
“It was just a lot of respect for those guys,” Saleh said. “Treat each other like you do your own teammates. Compete snap to whistle, nothing cheap. We don’t need any fighting or anything. … I have a lot of respect for Daboll and we want to make a habit out of this, not just because we’re playing each other in the preseason. We’d like to break up camp. We’re too close for it not to work. If we as a team can make it work, then we can both help each other a lot.
Saleh and Daboll both said they would like to make this an annual thing. The Jets and Giants last took part in a joint practice in 2005, when the Jets were coached by Herm Edwards and the Giants by Tom Coughlin. That practice, in Albany, ended with a series of fights, including one including Shockey, then the Giants’ tight end.
After that day, the Jets and Giants stayed away from practicing together. It has usually been more of a rivalry on the ownership level, with the teams sharing buildings at the Meadowlands since 1984. It occasionally has bubbled up between the teams, such as in 2011 when Rex Ryan talked trash before the Jets’ Christmas Eve loss to the Giants. That was a Jets home game, and Giants players tore down curtains that covered their championship murals in the MetLife Stadium tunnel.
“Not interested in going to see a UFC or boxing matches or anything like that, although I love both of those,” he added with a laugh “Just good, competitive football.”
