Barkley does a little more today...
Is it me or does Shurmur  
mittenedman : 8/20/2018 11:05 am : link
seem to be putting the Giants through a much more grueling TC than McAdoo and even TC?

We've been in pads a ton + the intrasquad scrimmage.

This is how you build a heavy handed team.

I went to a lot of McAdoo's practices and it was AMAZING how little actual football was being practiced. Basketball on grass

Barkley on the side with Jalen Simmons and Calvin Munson, who both have concussions. I don’t see Connor Barwin or Darian Thompson. Pretty long absence for Barwin due to what Shurmur described as soreness

Saquon working on the side but he may be doing more than some of the guys who are actually practicing so far. A lot of short sprints, change of direction, catching footballs.
It seems we’re going to wait at least a year

For our long term solutions at OC, RG, and RT. Those 3 will be an issue all year, it appears.

Let's hope they get average play from those positions... fingers crossed...

Many speculated the OL rebuild would take 2 full cycles (draft and FA) and this appears so...
Just gauging by these tweets

Sounds like offense was able to turn it around from the start of practice. I am emotionally ready to move past the flowers era.

Offense has looked terrible today. Ogletree picked Eli on a deep ball that looked like a punt. Travis Rudolph had two drops. The OL gave up penetration in team drills.

@PLeonardNYDN

Eli Manning with a fluttering deep ball intercepted easily by Alec Ogletree... 4th string QB Alex Tanney delivers a deep strike on corner route and NICE leaping catch by Jawill Davis over Sean Chandler #Giants

Pat Shurmur: Pressley is a good runner, he’s fast, and I was with him a little bit before so he has some familiarity with our scheme. We’ll get him up to speed. #Giants

Shurmur: I think we’re a little unsettled along the offensive line. We still have to figure out which OL we’re taking onto the 53, and we may take an extra one than usual. #Giants

I really hope Eli plays on Friday

Seems like games against opponents would be a better way to measure.
OL still stinks.  
The_Boss : 8/20/2018 1:25 pm : link
2 solid guys (at best) on the left and 3 unreliable guys at the other spots.

Mr. Bungle : 8/20/2018 1:49 pm : link
says Eli is on fire and throwing bullseyes.

Then the beat reporters say he threw an interception that looked like a punt.

LOL.

The NYG twitter account is like the Giant version of Sterling and Waldman.

unreliable a little strong...

webb was not running for his life on friday...

1 bad play does not mean unreliable
I love Shurmur already putting the pressure on the OL to perform  
robbieballs2003 : 8/20/2018 2:03 pm : link
I couldn't stand McAdoo saying how great Flowers and the OL were at almost every press conference.
I think the entire offensive line  
ZGiants98 : 8/20/2018 2:16 pm : link
Is going to excel in run blocking or at least be a major upgrade from last year. The right side of the line likely does have issues in pass protection IMO.
OL should be improved  
AcesUp : 8/20/2018 2:23 pm : link
However anybody expecting a quick fix 180 is kidding themselves. Minnesota's line is constantly brought up as the blueprint when they were still a below average unit last year. That was still an improvement from the previous year and enough to allow them to function on offense, which is what we should be shooting for.
I liked how Shurmur reorged the locker room  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 8/20/2018 2:23 pm : link
So position groups are next to each other.

Attention to detail is key brother.
