Wonder if he's getting the help he needs. Very sad situation for a player I (and a lot of others) was very high on when he was drafted. Hope he is okay.
Giants fans not living in the NY area, weather is clear, but it is expected to be 93 degrees with a lot of humidity during today's practice.
Is the practice indoors or out? We need these guys to be uncomfortable - getting their sweat on. Proper stretching and keeping hydrated is just as important of a skill to learn than technique.
RE: Wow - Owa must be dealing with something serious...

This is my concern as well. I hope he is ok, and getting any help he needs for him and his family.

hate to speculate but if it was drugs or a medical issue the NY Media would be all over the story, I wonder if he's going through some sort of heavy depression.
Pugh really grates on me. He probably wants to be put in bubble wrap so he can cash in safely like he's been talking about all off-season.
LEADERSHIP, DAMN IT! LEADERSHIP!
Why don't you go ahead and fuck yourself? I'm terribly sorry if I hold teammates to a standard, it shouldn't stop you from posting unfunny pictures with even unfunnier captions. You do you pal, it's an act that suits your lack of personality and 5th grade sense of humor.
He was healthy enough to run around in his football camp a couple of days ago, but when it comes to actually working out when it counts, he pulls up lame.

What a douchebag. I happened to be agreeing with your assessment of Pugh...mocking the fact that people keep pointing out what a leader he is...but you're too much of an asshole with your thin-skinned, holier-than-thou attitude to realize it. Go fuck yourself three times, shmuck.
Why? I thought Apple had a hammy at the end of OTAs. Darian by all reports was moving around fine at OTAs so him on the side is more concerning. JT riding the bike is expected. And Pugh is Pugh. I have nothing nice to say about him.

Apple's hammy was early in the OTAs, no? And then they shut him down for the rest. I guess he could be inside with the trainers, but I was hoping he'd be outside at least, running on the side.
Patricia Traina ✔ @Patricia_Traina
Darius Powe was with the TEs for a brief period. Wonder if he's making a position switch.
Maybe he can go to LB if Herzlich makes it as a TE.
Seriously, though, I remember reading some pre-draft stuff on Powe (after we signed him) where it was suggested that he should bulk up make the switch to TE.
but it looks like the media was far away from the access.
Just the same, the Schwan mention was noteworthy. Interested to know who it is he's going up against. Could it be that an awkward T is making his first step that much quicker, or is his step legit?

OBJ, Shepard + and others already out there. #Giants

Vernon said he spoke to McAdoo before missing the voluntary portion of offseason and was in contact with DL coach Pat Graham daily. #Giants
and again today. He is kind of the forgotten man when people mention our weapons with Beckham, Marshall, and Engram. Shep is going to have a ton of less talented players trying to cover him. He could reap the benefits and have a huge year.

80-90 catches for Shepard this season. Just watch. I know I know... only one football to go around. Wait and see.
Mike isn't making any sense, so Kim easily has the upper hand.
It's getting testy.
That may be the most bitter interview that I have ever heard. "Very impressed by his personal growth, I guess he got that at the Warrior game!". What a fucking dick.
He does have a point about not showing up for the paid appearances. That's a stupid thing to have happen. Just don't agree to go.
The sarcastic "trade him now" posts are getting as annoying as...
Why? Did anything go wrong in 2009 when smith caught 100 passes? What about when Cruz went bananas in 2011 out of the slot? Nicks was there. So was manningham.
I keep seeing this talk that Shepard can't have a big year in this offense and Im not buying it. The TEs can catch 80 with Marshall getting 60. Beckham with 100. Shep gets 80. That's 320 receptions. Eli had over 360 last year. He's likely going to better those totals but even if he didn't there's still 40-50 receptions leftover to give out to rbs and everyone else.
The more weapons a good qb has the more receptions and yardage he's going to produce. It doesn't work in reverse. Shepard is going to clean up because he's going to be wide open in the slot all year long.
Bite your tongue. I'm quite a bit more sick of the childlike tantrums we had to read about in every thread concerning the player. Just low-logic posts over and over.

Justin Pugh is on the side. Not working likely with some kind of injury. #Giants
Justin Pugh, who wasn't spotted at the last two open OTAs, is on the side to start practice. Same for rookie WR Kevin Snead.
Why are you surprised?
Dan Duggan Retweeted Dan Duggan
JT Thomas and Rhett Ellison also on the side as practice gets rolling #Giants
LEADERSHIP, DAMN IT! LEADERSHIP!
I do not see Darian Thompson or Eli Apple out on the field. Doesn't mean they aren't here. #Giants
It's 91 degrees. Ereck Flowers has a hoodie on under jersey.

6-3, 230 pound Eric Pinkins is working at CB in 7-7. #Giants
Well, Googs...there ya go.
Odell Beckham sneaks in for first team rep. He goes deep, grabbed by Janoris Jenkins but ball slips OBJs hands. #giants
I'm sure he would've caught it if he had showed up for the voluntary workouts, right Joey?
Matt LaCosse continues to complicate the TE picture. Just made a nice grab in stride.
Might be too little, too late for LaCosse. We'll see.
Sterling Shepard is looking good today. Several catches, good burst. #Giants
INTERCEPTION! 🚨 Eric Pinkins off a tipped ball comes down with it for the defense! #NYGiants

Not bad for a converted LB/S to CB. Imagine a 6'3 guy who can run and cover...
7-7 drills starting. Odell didn't come out with 1st O, but worked in. Had a deep ball from Eli go through his hands on first rep. #Giants
Josh Johnson with a long completion to @Mattylac11 deep down the right sideline! #NYGiants 🎯

Devin Taylor tipped a pass at the LOS.
Probably the one Pinkins intercepted.
Nat Berhe with Landon Collins and 1st team defense in 11s, splitting reps with Andrew Adams
Eli ➡️ @sterl_shep3 again, this time for a touchdown! #NYGiants

Webb threw it, so clearly he took Carr's advice yesterday to heart and is just shadowing him expertly in all ways.
Matt LaCosse and Sterling Shepard two of the standouts in today's practice.
Coach McAdoo: Eli Apple and Darian Thompson were both excused today due to illness. #NYGiants
Also.. the legend of Matt LaCosse continues to grow....
Ben McAdoo says Odell Beckham Jr. and Olivier Vernon "seem to be in great condition."
Ben McAdoo says Owa Odighizuwa is excused from minicamp for personal reasons. Won't say anything more. #Giants
Coach McAdoo: It's good to have @OBJ_3 back, it seems like he's in great condition. #NYGiants
Coach McAdoo: @sterl_shep3 had a nice day today...he really made a lot of plays. #NYGiants
Ben McAdoo: "It's great to have Odell back. He didn't miss a beat."
McAdoo wouldn't say why Justin Pugh did not practice. "He's limited," McAdoo said.
Mac is going for the Richie Madano look:

Olivier Vernon says he never went to OTAs with Dolphins and "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
McAdoo wouldn't say why Justin Pugh did not practice. "He's limited," McAdoo said.
... by his desire, toughness, China Doll syndrome, ...
Vernon said he spoke to McAdoo before missing the voluntary portion of offseason and was in contact with DL coach Pat Graham daily. #Giants
Odell said he's reflected on how last year ended a lot. Said he has to learn from it.
"It's really great to be back with the team...it's a special bond." - @OBJ_3
Don't you just hate his distracting, me-first, locker room cancer attitude?
"I come here to do what I've always done which is to play football." - @OBJ_3
Sure...after the NBA Finals are over. You're not fooling me, Odell!
"It's really great to be back with the team...it's a special bond." - @OBJ_3

Nothing worse than a guy coming out to practice early! Terrible leader.
Odell Beckham Jr. confirms his absence from OTAs was not a holdout over his contract, as I have reported. #Giants
Odell says he's never seen a holdout work and never thought of trying it on the Giants.
Eli Manning: @EvanEngram is a talented tight end. He's a hard worker...the key is getting more and more reps in. #NYGiants

It's only a matter of time, before he destroys the locker room.

So...Eli reads BBI.
Eli on advice to Odell about handling fame: "I don't have a whole lot. Obviously he's at a whole new level."

It's getting testy.
Francesa really said that? Man, it's time for Mike to retire.
Standout players from minicamp practice (6/13) - ( New Window )
Yes. He only missed one or two OTAs due to "soreness". He practiced last week and today.
Minicamp practice notes and observations (6/13) - ( New Window )
Worried a little about depth at CB, so any good news in that direction is welcome.
