EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Some thoughts on the Giants’ ninth training camp…
– It was a much lighter day for the Giants, as expected with the Lions headed to two joint practices on Monday and Tuesday. Quarterback Daniel Jones finished 7 of 9 passes. In fact, he completed the first five passes of the day before throwing an interception to Jason Pinnock. This wasn’t Jones’ fault, however. The ball went straight through the tight end’s hands Daniel Bellinger. Bellinger has been very quiet this summer. It might not take long for you to start seeing Theo Johnson it is a healthy Lawrence Cager (hamstrings) overcome it.
– There was a long touchdown for Wan’Dale Robinson of Jones at the bottom of the seam (broken cover). She wouldn’t have told him, though. Edge Brian Burns had an obvious sack – one of three on the day. It’s remarkable when someone beats the tackle André Tomás once. But three times? Must be noted: No pads. This puts the defense at an advantage.
– The Giants continue to find ways to get Malik Nabers the ball. Two of the team’s first three plays of practice were designed to get the ball into Nabers’ hands. It makes sense. He is by far the most explosive player and capable of doing special things whenever he has the ball.
– It’s becoming very obvious that the former first-round pick Evan Neil does not take into account the team’s Week 1 plans on the offensive line. Trainer Brian Daboll Said he’s making progress, but that’s what he says about every injured player. He ran in training on Sunday, but is not doing anything to indicate that the team’s return to training is imminent. The Giants seemed intent on the following once John Michael Schmitz returns: Tomás, Jon Runyan,Schimitz, Greg Van Roten (filling in the center at the moment), Jermaine Eluemunor.
– Reserve defender Drew Lock had some impressive passes, including a touchdown to Isaiah McKenzie. Third string quarterback Tommy De Vito had a long one in the middle to Dennis Houston.
