ALBANY - The Giants need not worry that William Joseph's mouth will get him into trouble the way Jeremy Shockey's has during his first two seasons in New York.
Joseph doesn't have the same penchant for talking that Shockey has.
But the Giants hope that Joseph, their first-round draft pick, has the kind of impact on the field that Shockey has had since being taken in the first round a year ago.
Joseph will take his first crack at showing he can do that in the Giants' preseason game against the Panthers on Friday night at Giants Stadium. It will be Joseph's first game action in the NFL.
The defensive lineman from Miami missed last week's preseason opener at New England after holding out of camp for nearly two weeks.
