Dumb. Very dumb. He sure as hell helped as a starter last year. D.Thompson on the other hand has shown basically nothing on the field, hopefully he can stay healthy just so we can have options.
Agree that DT needs to stay healthy.
Adams was basically a healthy body that had very poor recognition skills as he hardly ever was breaking up plays mid to downfield, and typically arrived late. And he doesn't have the speed to ball-hawk anything either. I realize the background and expectations were low last year, but that doesn't mean it was acceptable.
Maybe he will surprise me and get involved more this season, although I hope he doesn't need to play much...

Flowers is still outside and does not appear to be favoring anything. Would be surprised if he goes back out there today, though.

TE Matt LaCosse should put himself in bubble wrap. If he's healthy and keeps this up, he'll deserve a spot on 53.
Been that good. #Giants

Wayne Gallman has flashed some today in red zone drills.
Earlier on an underneath route and just now w/ great goal line grab from Davis Webb

Vintage @OBJ_3 with sliding TD catch in corner of end zone from Eli Manning in red zone drill.
Nothing CB Valentino Blake could do. #Giants
why he doesn't need voluntary OTAs: Exhibit A.
Jesus how stupid is everyone here? HE DOESN'T NEED OTAS, the team NEEDS him at OTAs. The team's need is greater than Odell's as to what him being here means. Read that 100 times and let it sink in you dolt. And you're oh so proud of yourself for making a point, which you didn't make, which no one ever argued for or against. Odell is great, we know that, next topic.

it's fun scrolling from the bottom of this thread and knowing "this is probably Joey in VA" before seeing the handle. like clockwork. I listen to the actual player comments and don't live by this rah rah "no I in team" BS you seem to cling to. I'm a dolt because I, like the people actually impacted by his decision, don't care he skipped the voluntary workout.
how will this franchise ever recover from Odell not jogging around in voluntary OTAs? It's a shame he didn't take shepard/engram under his wing or show up day 1 in phenomenal shape and make diving TD grabs.

DRC gave @art_stapleton a death stare when he asked if Evan Engram was as fast as he is.
LOL on the "death stare".
I just know, as competitive as these guys are, they definitely know who has run the fastest on the field of play, given the new GPS systems. Apple was talking about how he is faster this year than last and he knew it for sure because of the GPS.
Sometimes I wish there was a way to see those numbers. Would be really interesting.
Pretty sure I wouldn't want to face Flowers in the ring... Â

Fluker has been getting reps there now, but is likely going to backup across the line.

Ereck Flowers on the sideline with undisclosed injury (doesn't appear serious).

Special teams coach Tom Quinn is impressed with rookie WR Travis Rudolph.
Mike Sullivan said rookie TE Evan Engram was sore today and held out.
STC Tom Quinn says Travis Rudolph has impressed with his chances as a punt returner
Obviously something like that helps in his quest for 53

Thanks for this, Dan. I will now stop bugging you with FB questions.
But don't get cocky.
Justin Pugh says he has "a little tweak in my back." That's why he's not practicing in this mini-camp.
He must have patted himself a little too hard there.
