He really should know by now that since the new CBA, joint practices are one of the ways that teams gauge themselves the best and learn the most out of what they're doing.
You might have brawls, but that's mainly because the teams use these joint practices as more of a measuring stick than the preseason games.
If he's covering the team and doesn't realize that, what else is he clueless on?

Odell Beckham is in full pads, but who knows how much hell actually practice in a far less controlled environment than back in East Rutherford. #Giants #Lions
Did he arrive at camp in a chauffeur-driven classic Bentley? Does he have a valet who helps him put on his uniform and pads? Does he have his own personal water bottles that are filled with pure melted glacier water from Greenland?

Wayne Gallman showing lots of burst on an inside run, makes one cut and gets to the second level. Could be a nice change of pace back for the #Giants. #Giants #Lions
Will Hernandez with a nice block to pick up Ziggy Ansah, seemed to catch Ansah by surprise and knocked him off his feet a bit to spring Wayne Gallman for a long gain.
Nice burst through hole from Gallman. #NYGiants

Eli Manning overthrows Cody Latimer, who beat his man by about half a step in the corner of the end zone. Just out of reach out of bounds for a one-handed catch. #Giants #Lions
Modified 7-on-7 red zone drill:
Eli to OBJ with Darius Slay in coverage wide right, then Eli-OBJ again out of slot.
Manning 4-of-5 in the period: two to Ellison, two to Beckham #NYGiants

We are getting Odell Beckham vs Darius Slay in 11 on 11. OBJ ran first one deep but ball went underneath to Sterling Shepard. #giants #lions
#Giants first team offense ran eight plays against Lions D in most recent team drill:
Eli Manning 5-for-5 to five different receivers. Variety of throws too. Looked very sharp.

Practice ended with 1s vs. 1s in a two-minute drill. Lions drove down for a TD catch by Marvin Jones. Giants drive ended when Eli was picked by Glover Quin.
The what if game: Giants threw pick in situational period, Lions scored a TD ...
In real game scenario, Olivier Vernon and B.J. Hill likely wouldve sacked Matt Stafford earlier in drive.
And an Eli-to-OBJ was TD, but rules stopped OBJ from taking it the distance. He was gone.
I wish we could just combine Davis Webb and Kyle Lauletta into one QB. Webb's size and arm strength mixed with Lauletta's accuracy would probably make a pretty good player. :/

Either that, or you'd end up with a QB whose low-velocity passes sail a few feet above his targets.

Eh I don't know about that... Vernon may be the sort of guy who's much more likely to get close to a sack in practice than in a game.
He's pretty clearly going to be back to his old self if he isn't already.
Either that, or you'd end up with a QB whose low-velocity passes sail a few feet above his targets.
