Once again, Jim Fassel is playing it conservative with his injuries, as several players will sit out tonight's game vs. Jaguars with nagging ailments. Those who won't play: FB Greg Comella (back), WR Joe Jurevicius (shoulder), TE Dan Campbell (hamstring), DT Keith Hamilton (hamstring), LB Mike Barrow (knee) and T Mike Rosenthal (shoulder). ... Last year's Giants-Jaguars pre-season game was bizarre. Playing at home, the Giants opened up a 24-7 halftime lead but then lost the ball on fumbles on six consecutive possessions in the second half. The Giants held on to win 27-20. ... Starters will play the first half. Giants face the Jags again, but not until Dec. 23, the final game of the regular season, so there's no need to hold anything back. "Because we play them again so late in the season, I won't worry about our play selections," Fassel said. "I probably won't even view the tape of this pre-season game inDecember." ... Giants GM Ernie Accorsi took special notice of the retirement of Jerry West, the Lakers executive vice president of basketball operations. Accorsi has a long and deep admiration of West, whom he considers "the model" for how a front-office executive should be.
