I'd really like to see the kid make the team but given that they may keep more TEs than usual, I doubt it but would love for it to happen. I think he would be snatched up by another team easily.
Rosas appears to be in the lead as of now. It will probably come down to the preseason games. I still believe that if Rosas doesn't win the job the starting kicker will be added after cut downs especially if Folk is cut by Tampa.
McAdoo has these guys ready to go nearly every practice...
I could be wrong on this, but I remember reading a lot of "they need to pick it up" or "it was a sluggish practice" during the last few years of the Coughlin era. Again, could be off base but seems guys are flying around nearly every practice. This could be because of the youth on D or whatever but...just seems like there's a different vibe w training camp this year.
Could someone explain to me why the reporters can't use a player's name instead of @xxxxxxx?
I'm supposed to know who @HeematCal is?
At least @D_Harris17 is comprehensible.
what is the chance that he doesn't make the final 53? He only signed a 1 year contract. It is a cheap insurance contract to backup the right side. But if he has been bounced to the 3rd string, why eat a roster spot for a player that won't be here next year?
RE: Sounding more and more like LaCosse needs only to stay healthy...

Zero. He worked with the second string at RG and LG. Worked with the third string as a RT. If anything, it shows he's a virtual lock. They are viewing him as a valuable reserve who can play multiple positions.

I'll admit that I'm old and have trouble parsing the tweets, but the below tweet seems clear.

DJ Fluker is working at LG with the third offense. He's also taken a few reps at RT with the 3s.
Is the third offesnse the equivalent of third string? Also, aren't the "3s" the same as the 3rd string? I decipher the tweet that Fluker was working at LG and RT with the third string.

That doesn't mean he wasn't working with the second team at RG.

blake PD for pass from smith to lewis on right side #giants
.@HeemAtCal and @TravisRudolph5 taking advantage of opportunities. Both making plays against 1st team defense today. @Giants
.@GenoSmith3 looked very good in 11s, completing a pair of throws with some zip to @HeemAtCal
.@EvanEngram with a nice grab over the middle from Eli Manning as Big Blue runs the 2 minute drill! #GiantsCamp
#giants pump in crowd noise for this 2 min drill 11 on 11...smith pass to right flat for rudolph, but a diving PD by deayon
#giants pinkins PD on smith toss over middle for lacosse
Had not seen @AveryMoss all practice, but he's on field now and got a good rush in 2-minute drill from left end.
2nd/3rd team
#Giants
#giants tribune diving PD on right rollout pass from smith to rudolph
Giants just ran two-minute drill with 1:42 left, starting at own 37, needing a TD. All three defenses kept the O off the board.

Aldrick Rosas perfect on four FG tries (31, 36, 41 and looked like 50)

I thought @Eflow_74 followed Saturday's solid practice w/ another one from what I was able to see today.
Held up vs Vernon + Okwara #Giants
McAdoo said the plan was for Shepard to work early in practice and then shit it down. Said he could play Friday if he's ready.

Half the board was ready to cut him after last week.
Hey man.. whatever it takes!
Oh, the irony.

Let's hope that he shows consistency.

Whether or not the game had passed Coughlin by.
Where has the time gone? 10 years. Unbelievable.
Don't count your chickens...Sounds like all TEs are doing well.

Yes. I'll be keying in on him come Friday.
That doesn't mean he wasn't working with the second team at RG.
