Another thing I’m watching: fan turnout was not great on Wednesday. There were some die-hards, but there were a lot of empty seats considering Giants camp hasn’t been open since 2019. Will see if that ramps up.

It was also a Wednesday, in late July with initial practices always been minimal activity.. FRi-the weekend will be interesting.

Daboll said each day they emphasize certain things. Yesterday was a lot of pre-snap motion. “There’s a time to do it; there’s time not to.” They want to cause “conflicts” and “issues” for opposing defenses.

Darius Slayton had a nice short catch on a comeback route but also dropped a wide open throw from Tyrod Taylor. Pass was a bit late but should have been caught.
Daniel Jones was off target to WanDale short, then ripped one on a deep crosser complete to Golladay.
Richie James saw some first team run in WanDale’s place at times at WR today. Dexter Lawrence wrecked a play with a clear sack.
Daboll at one point was vocal and not happy with the timing of a red zone play.
Offense is extremely far from where it needs to be. #Giants

Was a slog for the #Giants offense most of the afternoon. Lots of drops. Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, Kadarius Toney all contributed.
But they salvaged the day with a late period (working on 3rd and shorts) where Daniel Jones went 6 of 7 with TDs to Richie James + Slayton.
WR Wan’Dale Robinson also had strong day. Pair of catches in that final period. Good start to camp for the rookie.
Same for CB Darnay Holmes. He had another diving INT early in practice. Really looks good so far. #giants
