Other camp observations:

* Sterling Shepard looks great. He dropped his first pass yesterday in a red zone drill and there was a gasp from patio/media viewing area. That's how good he's looked.

* Giants not hiding Azeez Ojulari. He's going to get a chance to play a big role.

* When the Giants drafted Kadarius Toney, I thought the John Ross experiment was going to be short-lived. He was very quiet this spring, too.

It's only three days in, but I've been impressed by Ross. His health is the long game, obviously. Got a chance.

* It's been a while since the NYG secondary has had this much swagger this early in camp. The defense usually has upper hand early, but the DBs are really locked in.

* ILB is a big ? without Blake Martinez in there. Once pads go on, it'll be interesting

* Back to the secondary for a second: the NYG DBs have never had a problem chirping in previous seasons, don't get me wrong. At times it seemed like false bravado. It's only been 3 days, but these guys know they can be really good.

Was tied up after today’s practice so here’s some better late than never notes:

• DT Austin Johnson practiced for the first time. OL Chad Slade was missing for a personal reason but will be back Sat. WR Austin Mack and RB Mike Weber both left with apparent hamstring injuries

• Kenny Wiggins again stepped in for Shane Lemieux at LG.

• John Ross had his hip stretched by a trainer midway through but he finished practice. Ross has looked good. Needs to stay healthy.

• Ryan Santoso went 5-5 on field goals. He’s an NFL-caliber kicker.

• Offense has thrown a ton of fades into the end zone during red zone-heavy start to camp. Definitely a work-in-progress. Adoree’ Jackson broke up a fade from Jones to Golladay, Logan Ryan intercepted a Jones fade to Engram. Rodarius Williams intercepted a Thorson fade to Sills.
Nate Solder looks very thin

If Weber

is dinged up (they just signed him), that explains why Morris may be re-signed.
If Sterling Shapard having a great camp and dropped his 1st pass.....

The way news is “leaked” from this camp and due to the lack of public and media access. From the tape I have seen, Jones certainly isn’t close to being “sharp” in his throws, except for some sideline fades and corner throws..

If the DBs are looking so good and making all these great plays and interceptions, who is throwing those balls?

Just because he’s making the catches doesn’t mean the throws are on point. Part of the reason they say he’s looking so good could be because he’s making tough catches on inaccurate throws

I think they have a few QBs throwing passes in camp.

So maybe the others aren't struggling...

. What I have read also said Jones has not looked good so far. Whether it be timing or bad passes it has not looked good.
I just feel the Jones Galloday connection is struggling

But Jones is doing fine with Slayton and Shepard.

I just wish the media just report....not create

I don't know man...it's only the 3rd practice and they haven't put on pads yet, so there's no reason to sound any alarms...

But when multiple beats are all saying Jones and the offense looks sloppy, it's doubtful they're all making it up.

Either way, none of it is usually indicative of what happens in the fall...but I don't think this is a situation of media bias.
As much as I don't want to see the red zone offense struggle  
dabru : 7/31/2021 1:09 pm : link
it is early and the D usually has the advantage early.

Also, if the secondary is really elite, as we hope, it will push the offense to improve.

The #Giants are expected to host C Austin Reiter for a visit in the coming days, per @JFowlerESPN.

Interesting option as a backup center. If they signed him, wouldn't bode well for Jonotthan Harrison, who is hurt.

#Giants guard Shane Lemieux, one of their more underrated players, sustained a knee injury that should keep him just out a couple weeks, source said. Following a battery of tests, it was determined no surgery was needed. Major sigh of relief after Lemieux was carted off recently.

Davis known for his run-stopping abilities, which means a possible pairing inside with Martinez on early downs - remember he posted two straight 100+ tackle seasons with the Broncos as an inside backer

Giants sign veteran LB Todd Davis. He has started 69 career games for Saints, Broncos, Vikings. Giants are shorthanded at ILB with Blake Martinez on Covid list and Reggie Ragland (hamstring) on NFI. Tae Crowder + Carter Coughlin have been running as ILBs withfirst-string defense.

Noted earlier, Reiter can be a starter on this NYG line.

Just move Nick Gates over a couple of feet who is likely a better Guard than who we have starting.

Joe Judge says Lorenzo Carter’s discomfort and sitting out is not due to an aggravation of a previous recent injury (aka the Achilles from last year). That’s encouraging at least, you’d think #Giants

The players who left yesterday’s practice — RB Mike Weber and WR Austin Mack — are on the side. LB Blake Martinez also here watching. Aside from Matt Peart, the usual suspects (Saquon, Toney, etc) remain on the side.

It was a very light practice tonight. Judge said he told the coaches it would be a more relaxed atmosphere: “When Jabrill goes over and talks to 30 of his family members, let him go. And that, of course, happened.”

Actually, problems this team has is november are usually the same ones they are having in camp, and it's those unresolved issues that have dragged the Giants down the last few years.
