Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty counting on football this fall

new york, ny, United States (AHN Sports) – Count New York Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty among those who feel that there will be NFL football this fall.

Canty for one feels that the labor impasse will be over soon enough and the season will get started when it is supposed to on Sept. 8.

“[The labor dispute] will definitely be settled. There will be a football season,” Canty told the New York Post Tuesday at the 18th annual Gridiron Gala at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan, where he and Jets fullback Tony Richardson received awards for their commitment to community service.

“The fans don’t have to worry about that,” Canty added. “We’re going to have football this fall, and we’re going to try and put the quality product on the field that they are used to seeing come September.”

Canty is disappointed in Monday’s court ruling that froze a lower court’s injunction and allows the owners to continue the lockout at least until the players’ appeal begins June 3.

“It’s tough because you’d like to have the opportunity to prepare for the season in the offseason,” Canty said. “You’d like to be able to get with your teammates in the confines of the facilities and work with the coaches, to try and improve your football team and try to get ready to play your best football in the fall.”

Richardson feel the lockout has not affected him as much as a 16-year veteran of the league as it will younger players.

“I’m more concerned for guys who were just drafted,” he said. “They need to be in there working. They need to learn the lingo.”
