Joe Judge is pleased with how Will Hernandez worked this offseason. Everything they’ve asked him to do, he’s done to the best of his his ability, Judge said.

Kelvin Benjamin just walked off the field without his helmet after a long conversation with Joe Judge and Dave Gettleman. Very strange. #Giants
For practice, then warm up and then retire? Probably a covid issue considering when he was walking off the field Gettleman was about 50 feet behind him.

No, they wouldn't have let him practice if he didn't pass a COVID test. My guess is he just said, "I don't want to do this."

Pumped to see Jones and Golladay connecting. He really was the perfect type of player to bring in this off-season...hoping for that Eli/Plax magic right away

Want to show your ready for Giants training camp? Head to a local field and take the conditioning test players took yesterday:
Linemen: 20 40-yard dashes under 6 seconds
TE/LB: 20 50-yard dashes under 7 seconds
Skill players: 20 60-yard dashes under 8 seconds
How many people read this tweet and thought "I can do that" when the reality is they couldn't run 1 40 yard dash in under 6 seconds....
how did Eli pass this? Or the Hefty Lefty? (RIP)
I wouldn't be shocked if QB's don't fall in the "skill position" group when it comes to this specific drill, but to your point, I couldn't see the Hefty Lefty passing any of these....

Joe Judge said they might occasionally flex Nick Gates from center to guard. #Giants
Hmm...what a good idea.
Here's a better one...work on finding a better Center (or same) as Gates in the next year, and move him to Guard permanently.
I think that may be something they strongly consider. We will have to see who they have getting center reps in camp but they may well have someone in mind. The fact of WH moving to RG might indicate they want him to step up or step out.

Why not just find a better guard and leave him at center permanently?
The context of judges quote was to prepare for injuries or less than ideal circumstances. Always a good thing to prepare. What if 2 guards go down, and the best lineup would be Harrison and gates both starting on the line.

Always an option, but just my preference and view that Gates may have a higher ceiling at Guard than Center.
While he deserves lots of credit of filling a void at Center when the front office was a bit careless/clueless in a strategy there, I am not one who thinks that Center shouldn't still be upgraded from Gates.

It seems Benjamin was caught stealing food from the cafe and bringing it home. Judge and Gettleman was having a convo with him about it and Benjamin got pissed and stormed off. Can’t make this up.

One, if he was stealing lunches they wouldn't have let him come in the morning and get dressed. Two, the Giants probably encourage players to take food home so they know they are eating well. Three, the ongoing joke is he ate himself out of the league.

Maybe it is a bogus story, but on the second point - the problem in the scenario is the stealing, not the taking it home.

Stealing is fine as long as the food value is under $1000.oo
upgrade in the NFL than the Giants going from Tate to Golladay at #1 WR?
Kind of like going from Tim Carter (and whoever else) to Plaxico. Toomer was still there from 04-05. This team still has Slayton and Shepard and newcomer Toney. Shockey > Engram but all in all, big upgrades.

Takeaways from today's ramp-up @Giants practice: Love & Jackson made the most plays; Slayton & Golladay had a few nice catches; and Harper had the play of the day on a late INT. Also, Benjamin left practice early and his body language showed frustration - perhaps he won't return.

Good. I'd like to see what he can do against NFL competition.
That's possible. Had to be a longshot to get out of camp anyway
When we signed him I remember thinking "I thought he retired."
No, they wouldn't have let him practice if he didn't pass a COVID test. My guess is he just said, "I don't want to do this."

Sounds like Seinfeld episode
Were the prime crab legs out on the buffet?
better than a glock
I doubt they cut him because of that. They cut him because he was agitated and stormed off the field during practice.
I believe the whole food-stealing deal is a reference to Booger McFarland saying last year that Benjamin "is a popeyes biscuit away from being a TE
Maybe he did steal food but hid it in his stomach?
I'm pretty sure he had his own ideas on how the OL should be coached.
