Shurmur thinks WR Darius Slayton has made huge strides. Hes the first guy that comes to mind when asked about standouts from the rookie class. Slayton had some drops in rookie camp but has smoothed out since then.

A grizzled vet who now has 1 year in this system under his belt. Not thrilled he is missing time but not as concerned as if it was a rookie or someone entirely new to the system.
Question  
Jay on the Island : 6/6/2019 12:10 pm : link
I know there is only a certain number of OTA's, minicamp, and training camp practices under the new CBA but are there any restrictions in terms of film study? My question is can Daniel Jones spend hours everyday on his free time in the team complex watching film with Shula and/or Shurmur?

When OTAs are over, everyone tends to go on break (the only time of year they really can do that). That doesn't mean the players won't continue to keep studying on their own (playbooks, film, etc.).

I understand that I was just curious if Jones or any other player for that matter can decide to remain at the facility to continue to learn the offense with the coaches or is that restricted under the CBA?

Darius Slayton says DeAndre Baker is essentially playing with one hand behind his back by not being able to play press coverage in OTAs. #giants rookies matched up last 2 years in SEC. #auburn #uga
The only thing..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/6/2019 12:43 pm : link
restricted by the workouts are actual practices and team events coordinated by the staff/coaches.

For instance, a coach could not mandate a film session/playbook study activity outside of the mini-camp, but the players could organize it.

Players could organize at a place like Duke for a passing camp with no violations.

It only restricts official activities.

"coaches" that you can work with are the fitness ones.

Any event has to be players only or it can be looked at as illegal.

That's what I assumed but I think players should be allowed to spend their own free time at the teams facility watching film with the coaches if the player so chooses. With the restrictions on the number of practices allowed under the CBA it would be very beneficial to the young players,especially when it involves a new offensive/defensive scheme, to allow them to come in and go over the playbook and watch film with their coaches.

Nope, they cant

The rules appear in Article 21, Section 2 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Before the launch of the offseason program, players cant participate in Club-supervised workouts, practices, group, or individual meetings with coaches, group or individual film study with coaches, or group or individual playbook study with coaches . This provision is the origin of periodic comments from coaches regarding their inability to communicate with players in the offseason.

My favorite quote and probably most underrated part of all this...


Ive written this a few different times during spring workouts, but its important to reiterate: the constant energy and competition between the two sides of the ball has been extremely high throughout the spring. There has been yelling back and forth and some trash talk between the two sides, but it is never mean-spirited or nasty, which hasnt always been the case in prior years. Its simply both sides trying to motivate each other. If Ive seen anything that reflects the culture that Dave Gettleman and Pat Shurmur are trying to install with this group, thats it.

Culture has changed drastically. Torre won when he had a group of professionals who were mostly blue collar self motivated players. Not many 40+ hr guys or primary donna types.

I said this. "

Yes..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/6/2019 4:22 pm : link
that is true.

As long as the organization allows players in the facilities (no reason they wouldn't), they can do their own group thing as long as coaches are not present.

It also can't be mandatory, even if the players organize it, which would be really difficult to prove or police, so it really doesn't arise as an issue.

What separates a legal activity from an illegal one outside of the approved schedule is the participation or presence of coaches.
Sorry mis read your post

Just not for organized team activities.

Organized meaning coordination from the coaches.

@art_stapleton

He's the best rookie QB that I've covered on the beat already. I've been impressed by his willingness to push the ball downfield in a practice setting.
I think he might be more focused on accuracy and honing that on out routes vs air. Doesn't put a lot of velocity on those yet

Some minicamp observations:
Corey Coleman played as the third WR alongside Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate a bunch. Coach Pat Shurmur said there is an opportunity to be a frontline player. Coleman has been making some plays. Needs to be consistent. #Giants #Minicamp

FB Elijhaa Penny caught a bunch of passes out of the backfield this week. Could be a new wrinkle to the offense.

There is a legit competition at center with Jon Halapio and Spencer Pulley each getting plenty of first-team reps. That will be decided this summer. No real evaluations from me of linemen at minicamp and OTAs in helmets and shorts.

Good to hear. Emotions and attitudes are contagious, as Giants fans should be very well aware of.
