Sights and Sounds: Giants defeat Jets to open preseason.

the other big takeaway was Michael Thomas' scouting report on Davis Webb. As he was talking to Ballentine he said (paraphrasing)

"The QB they got in right now was with us last year, he's gonna let that MF'er fly. He don't care. He does not care, he's going to throw it. So you are going to get a chance for a pick"

Interesting takeaway from a veteran safety and lets you know what the players actually thought of his ability.

"whoever is in, you are going to get a chance for a pick". Yikes...

enthusiasm is infectious.

I love seeing these DB's making plays and the underrated WR's standing out.

You have to have some guys like Carlock on the team. They are the engine like Thielen for the Vikings...the unheralded guys like Victor Cruz.

Loved when Ballantine said this was his first NFL game ever and he was playing in it! I bet that is true for a lot of these guys who get drafted or come in as UDFA's.

This team is starting to be very easy to root for. Barkley and Engram were the first two guys to congratulate. The excitement they all showed for the guys low on the depth chart, etc. A very likable group.

Oh, and note to Jabrill Peppers: You're "post ta" get the interception, okay? You're not "post ta" let it slip through your fingers.

is going to be a much needed vocal leader for the young guys.

Nice to have Barkley & Peppers on each side of the ball. Vocal leadership covered.

Nice team getting built here.

I'm a fan, I root for laundry, but there are times when the guys wearing the laundry aren't that easy to like. This group is VERY easy to like.

but it’s cool to seem the players cheering for each other like that.

Lot of guys were happy for Jones, Carlock, Shepard. Def a good vibe with this group so far

I hope they're having this much fun next week. The Bears should be a much tougher test than the Jets.

Russel Shepard is hilarious

never saw the 'down by contact.'

I think someone came over and said something like 'That was for your homie.'


I may have misheard.
