5 Standout Players from Giants Training Camp - ( New Window )
nice, but I would feel better

if Flowers, Landon Collins and Odi were on that list.
All 5 on the NJ.com list

so either they are both drinking the same Kool-Aid or these guys look good to more than one writer.

Collins....sure

But Flowers/Odi can only impress so much without pads. Plus, it's always harder for OL to shine.

based on early reports, I was DEAD wrong about Davis.
Coughlin couldn't remember his name  
mikeygiants : 8/4/2015 6:07 pm : link
back in April (Bennett Anderson) and now he's a first string FS. That's quite the jump!
The second

A running plays happen by, Ayers will be out of position as usual and back to being a one trick pony.
It's been a week

That isn't long enough to be a standout at anything. Revisit this after the second pre season game and you at least have something to discuss.
Wish that someone on the OL

was on this list.
Love seeing Bennet Jackson's name there ...

He is the CB the drafted that they switched to safety ... correct? If he can become one of the 2 team safety tandem - the Giants got a STEAL.

I think he was drafted with the thought of switching him to safety.

On several levels.
I am waiting for the "post game 1" of pre-season reports to come out  
SGMen : 8/5/2015 1:19 am : link
I am really hoping this OL stays put and gels.

I am really hoping we know who the starting safeties are by at least the start of game 2 pre-season so they can get the most work and gel.

But mostly I am hoping we get out of camp healthy!

Or an indication of how badly they lack NFL talent at safety.. I hope that's not the case.
Well... only one rookie

is standing out....I'd surely hate to have to make wr cuts this year.
they originally wanted

Jackson at corner but he got hurt(micro-fracture) and they figured the only way for him to make the roster was at safety afterwards.I don't think they realized he'd flash this early.

To me - this is the biggest deal. Anyone remember the second half of 2009 and 2010? Remember C.C. Brown? Bad safety play destroyed a 5-1 start in 2009. That team was still smokin' hot, had just DESTROYED the Raiders 41-7, and then Sean Payton and Drew Brees basically pantsed the Giant D and showed the entire league how shitty those safeties were.

Right now, we've got a wing and a prayer at Safety. I'll be freakin' THRILLED if Jackson and Collins play well. Hell, I'll be thrilled if the defense can crack the top 20.

Section - I think you are right. I think I remember reading (that he said) when the Giants called him they told him they were going to move him to Safety.

I am just glad that it seems like the experiment is working - which is not always the case. Because, God knows we can use the help at that position.

Encouraging in a small way  
JonC : 8/5/2015 11:11 am : link
but they haven't put pads on yet either, much can and will change between now and Sept 13.

Flowers, LC, Odi will be fine, they're just a few practices into their rookie camp.
some  
dorgan : 8/5/2015 11:19 am : link
of the questions will start to be answered in the next few days. Today is first day of full pads and you get to see who the football players are and which of them are shorts and shells stars only.
