3:35 p.m. Practice
If the Will Hernandez article  
The 12th Man : 5/12/2018 8:54 am : link
Does not get you pumped up I do not know what will. Saquan will follow me to get his lunch, the interviews with the press, damn I love this guy already. This is the attitude we need back on this team. That attitude will rub off on others it gets infectious. Those that do not get it will be gone. This reminds me how I felt after I heard Tom Coughlin 1st press conference when he was being introduced and talking about winning on both sides of the line of scrimmage in the trenches. I was so fired up I wanted the games to start then. I feel the same way now.

Awesome article on Saquon, he is everything they say about him. Can not wait to see him live.

Three DBs impressed me on Day 1 of #Giants rookie camp: Grant Haley, Sean Chandler and Aaron Davis.

Also, Adam Bisnowaty was at right guard today participating in rookie minicamp for second year in a row. Permanent move to interior could be in offing in order for him to stick
It's really sad that Ron Dayne is second in team history

as far as rookie RB yardage.
Leadership  
Shecky : 5/12/2018 9:20 am : link
Barkley seems to have the quiet Eli like type of leadership/work ethic/confidence which is great. Hernandez seems to have some of that nasty Seubert type which has been desperately needed around here and I think will go a long way.

Need some leaders besides Collins to step up on D now.

Bisnowaty stunk at everything last year. He had real issues with the bull rush as well which will be a big problem at guard. Unless he was dealing with an undisclosed injury last season he needs to get significantly stronger in order to secure a roster spot with the Giants. Reese is gone so DG has no ties to Bisnowaty. Either improve or be replaced.

McIntosh was diagnosed with a thyroid condition during the combine process, though it's unclear if that is the reason for his absence from Friday's session. He's expected back in the near future, indicating that the issue is not overly severe.
Appreciate any feedback on how Thomas Siri (QB) is doing ...

Very encouraging day one for C Evan Brown  
Jay on the Island : 5/12/2018 11:26 am : link
according to Pat Traina.

Undrafted free agent center Evan Brown is an interesting prospect. Hes a bit undersized, like Brett Jones, but he has lighting fast hands.

In a hand-punch drill, Brown snapped the ball and got his hands into the mitts held by an assistant coach so fast that it looked like the coach was caught off guard a bit. Brown is someone to keep an eye on as hell probably challenge Jon Halapio for the backup center/guard spot.

Jay on the Island : 5/12/2018 11:28 am : link
Adam Bisnowaty, eligible for this camp because he didnt accrue a full year of service last year, came in much too high with hitting his targets and didnt seem very explosive out of his stance.

Yeah he did but I was referring to the preseason. Bisnowaty was playing awful versus 2nd and 3rd teamers. When injuries struck the offensive line the Giants chose to sign several street free agents (Halapio, Greco, Mama)rather than promote Bisnowaty. The only reason Bisnowaty played in the finale is because of Flowers and Hart's refusal to play.

Jesus Debby Downer, lighten up. By the way we won 2 SBs In the last 12 years so I hope the happy talk continues. What should Hernandez say, I am a rookie and expect to get knocked on my ass until I learn the pro game? Should Shurmur come out and say most of these guys suck and wont make the team?

Good for Shurmur, he won't tolerate any fighting this season. Collins should know better than to air grievances through the media. Keep that stuff in house. Those comments can create a division in the locker room that is difficult to repair.

And just as important, Collins needs to become a better leader. Stop trashing his teammates in public. And it sure was a head-scratcher when he said he wouldn't want to play for Belichick because he's too demanding and he had enough of that with Saban...

"The way (Belichick) runs his organization, I've been through that process," Collins told the New York Post. "I don't like it. It's too strict...I talked to guys who played for (his) team. They love winning, but at the same time, they don't want to be on the team."

He had a great junior year in college for British Columbia, but was hurt almost his entire senior season in Canada. Only caught 7 passes the entire season.

Last week he was drafted in the 7th round in the CFL draft.

Watson is a small but quick slot receiver. He is 5'11" and 183 pounds.
