Friday's New York Giants Training Camp Media Tweets

IMO they know he can be the backup at G, and are now seeing if he can be the backup at RT. If he can then they don't need to go get one, if not then he shifts back to G and they find a backup somewhere. Plus in doing this it gives others time to make the team by getting playing time at G.

Which makes him being cut very unlikely...

Giants just in helmets and shells today after two straight practices in full pads. Dalvin Tomlinson is back after sitting out yesterday. Donte Deayon, Curtis Riley and Thurston Armbrister remain on the side.

Evan Engram beats William Gay deep by about half a step, but Gay swatted down the pass from Eli Manning about 40 yards downfield. #Giants

Janoris Jenkins picked up in nice pass-protection effort by Jonathan Stewart. However, Olivier Vernon still chased down Eli Manning, after he was flushed from the pocket, for a �sack�. #Giants

B.W. Webb picks off Davis Webb, for the second consecutive day. Terrible throw over the middle to nobody in particular. Davis Webb probably wants that one back. #Giants

John Jerry back at second-team RG with recently claimed Victor Salako at third-team RT.

And yesterday, per Raanan, Eli�s throws lacked velocity. All likely nothing at this juncture, but something to keep in mind.

Brett Jones at first-team center in an install period. Don�t think he�s taken any reps with the 1�s in team periods.

John Greco at center with the 2�s during install. Could be interesting if he starts to get some work there.

Olivier Vernon has had just a terrific camp and really gotten after the quarterback. But, Nate Solder just did a really nice job bumping him off and allowing Eli Manning to step up in the pocket and deliver a strike. #Giants

Outstanding coverage in the end zone by Orion Stewart, who picked off Alex Tanney. #Giants

He's still going to take his lumps. He's a smart guy with good athleticism and throws a nice pass. He'll be OK. Let's see him in the Pre-Season. He'll most likely get a majority of the snaps this year.

Just another way the #Giants can use Saquon Barkley as a receiving threat. #NFL

Looks like William Gay is done for the day. His right thigh is wrapped.

@art_stapleton

William Gay made nice play in end zone to deny Evan Engram earlier. Cut off his route and gave Engram very little room along left side.
Gay now has ice wrap on upper right leg.

Halapio back at first-team center for situational period to close practice.

He has no clue what he�s looking at. I watched Eli yesterday. He doesn�t make every throw full out. A lot of his throws are touch and placement throws. He rifled several throws that I saw. Webb�s issue is he trusts his arm too much. He thinks he sees a tight window his arm will overcome. He will learn as he plays more. What�s good is even if he screws up with a bad throw he keeps on slinging it. Short memory.
Don�t listen to these beat guys. They don�t know anymore than we do.

Situation was getting the offense off the field and the FG unit on for a last-second kick. Rosas went 3-for-3 from ~40 yards.

from the link above.

That was nice!

He was said to be a fairly polished route runner, so that story is checking out.

The #Giants have a workout in progress. Know they�ve been looking heavily at cornerbacks. One of the players who has come through recently is former Panthers CB Zack Sanchez.

at CB this season. And hold onto your butts if Jenkins happens to go down for any bit of time...

He played surprisingly well last season and should be the primary guard off the bench this season. The Giants just need to bring in another OT and I will feel very good about the depth.

Shurmur said the moving parts on the OL today was by design. Want to give guys different looks at different spots.

As for the revolving door at FS, Shurmur said preseason games will tell more. Seems like that battle will last a while.

@art_stapleton

Pat Shurmur says �by design� that Jon Halapio had his workload lessened a bit today with Brett Jones bumping up to 1st team late in practice and John Greco getting some reps at 2nd team center. No injury or demotion/promotion #NYGiants

.@EvanEngram - Last couple days @saquon has been put out wide and he�s making plays...he�s so dynamic...it definitely puts defenses in a bind. #GiantsCamp

Maybe he needs to have a longer memory because apparently these are the same issues that dogged him as a college QB (from Boylhart)....

It comes down to this, Davis thinks he is a better quarterback than he actually is. I�m sure that he thinks he works hard at his craft but the truth is either he works hard and is not working smart or is not working hard enough...Every time he comes off his 1st receiver I hold my breath because I know he is either going to miss the receiver badly, throw an interception or worse throw a ball he has no business throwing because he doesn�t have that type of talent

He probably played as an in-game emergency.

Yup. This is what worries me about him. He thinks he's Brett Favre but he's not.

It would be nice if at least one is a servicable backup since at least one veteran tackle should shake loose in the final cuts.

Marshall Newhouse where are you?

Davis Webb needs reps. Give the kid a break. He's a 2nd year player and he learning his 2nd new offense. Young players have growing pains. By all reports, he is a hard worker. Let him work. I can't believe people are scrutinizing an INT thrown in a training camp practice....SIX DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME. Seriously?

cutting him outright.

Cannot have that kind of shit happening in Aug of year 2...

You can probably say this about most teams and their top corner.

Not many teams out there with CB depth good enough to withstand losing their #1 guy. In fact, many teams don't even have a CB as good as Jenkins on their roster at all.

Yeah they have a lot of nerve even reporting that he threw an INT in camp, we don't even have any idea whose fault it was, maybe the receiver ran the wrong route. For that matter, they shouldn't mention any incompletions as well, it's just the first week in August for crying out loud. We should only be told about completed passes that go for a TD and there should be no mention of who was covering the receiver at the time, because after all it's only August and it would be a crime for anyone to think that it might've been the CB's fault when it may not even have been his man, he could've been helping out another DB who blew the assignment.

We should all just shut up and applaud everything that happens in camp because what the fuck do we know anyway! These guys are working their asses off in the hot sun and we're just sitting at our computers throwing them shade (and not the kind of shade that keeps the sun out of their eyes, which is another thing, we don't know if the sun was in Webb's eyes when he threw that INT!).

but the precedent has been set and its up to him to change it. Until he does, people have every right to question his decision-making.

Watch his play in college.

Listen to him in interviews and he talks glowingly about his arm strength.

He's overconfident and it gets him in trouble on the field.

I like Webb as much as anyone else and I'm rooting for him. But I'm not going to pretend the issue doesn't exist just because its training camp.

but I much prefer a player who believes in himself than the opposite.
