Tom Coughlin willing to adapt his methods to keep Giants healthy

Take that, Walter Thurmond. The old dog has learned a new trick.

After being accused to not embracing “modern medicine” by his former safety who is now with the Eagles, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin gave his players a chance to do yoga or other alternative treatments during their recovery day.

According to Justin Tasch of the New York Daily News, the changes are part of a bigger schedule shift by the 69-year-old Coughlin. He’s giving his players a chance at what he calls a “GPS week,” which will have them running their more strenuous practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a pair of recovery days.
