Yeah, Uber, I'd be on board with that. We had speculated in '20, before Lemieux pushed Hernandez to RG, whether he might be tried at C, also a bit of same in '21 before all the injuries hit.
BUF scouted/liked Lemieux at Oregon (?) so Dabs may be and Schoen is familiar with him and may be why he settled in so quickly as LG with 1s in camp. We also discussed here that scouting reports' major negative on SL was lack of quick feet and why C might be a challenge.

Targeting a big catch radius receiver in the red zone? You might as well run or pass on 3rd down!
Dottino (not a real beat reporter) and the Talkin Giants guys, very few updates on the actual practice.....is this their way of protesting the new rule of no video?
to TC, when one side of the ball makes a play, you are worried about the other side.
I don’t think it was a bad throw so much as forcing the ball downfield. Dabbol has said that he wants DJ taking chances and this looked like that. I’m fine with it, not just a bad toss over the middle or something like that.

armstead98, agree that's the way it looked to me too, and if that was called as a 3rd down throw deep, the 'as good as a punt' notion, grimace.
That said, both on that throw and the TD to Golladay crossing along the endline, seemed as though Jones held the ball long time, dunno if pocket would have held that long. Again, depends whether the drill's focus was to ignore going to shorter route receivers.

watching the pass to Golladay, I think Jones held the ball an appropriate amount of time....there was no pressure in his face....there are many Lines that can create a pocket like that, we just haven't seen it in a decade.
Every camp highlight of one of his completion also comes with him holding the ball WAYYY too long
I don't want to overreact, I've been a big supporter of his from before he was even drafted by us but man oh man I'm starting to believe in my heart that maybe just maybe Tyrod would win more games with this team.
His short/quick passing game is absolutely horrendous IMO

•Daniel Jones finished strong and had a pretty good day besides a terrible INT to Dane Belton
•Shane Lemieux & Dexter Lawrence fight was awesome and Lemieux had good day
•Quincy Roche making moves
•Darnay Holmes turnover streak continues
We must be very careful about what we see in limited online clips. I agree with you, I'm really doubting Jones is the answer, but I'm not sure some reps in July will be the determining factor. Skinner seemed to be happy with his overall performance today.

It gave us a chance to see his arm strength and to see if the WR could figure out how to make a play. Too bad it wasn’t Golladay with Jones throwing it up for him to out reach a smaller CB.

Focused on one player during today's practice (will be able to read that story later), so don't have as many team-wide observations. Here are a few:

• Another day, another turnover forced by Darnay Holmes, who stripped Saquon Barkley.
• First fight of camp. My view was blocked, but others have said Shane Lemieux and Dexter Lawrence were in the middle of it.

I cautiously optimistic about Jones this year. There is gonna be bad plays with learning this offense but this play was a big positive. He knew exactly where he was going with that ball and manipulated the saftey perfectly. There has to be trust that Wan'Dale can win his matchup and Jones gave him the space.

robbie, exactly: Jones looked to a bit right of goal posts and you could see McKinney (think it was) tread water in place watching Jones' eyes before making his break to Wan'Dale, too late.
Daniel Jones’ Day: Jones went 15-of-20 passing on the day, throwing two touchdowns and an interception. With the Giants starting their offense in the “fringe” zone just ahead of the 50-yard line, giving Jones plenty of space to throw into, most of his completions were either dump-offs in the flat or short passes.
Jones got better as the day went along, saving his best for last. His final pass was a strike that found Wan’Dale Robinson -- who had an impressive day, making four catches -- for a touchdown in the back of the endzone, earning a hand-stinging high-five from a fired-up Daboll. Jones’ fifth drive of the day was strong as well; he completed all three of his pass attempts, the latter two to Golladay, including a touchdown pass.
Bobby Skinner
@BobbySkinner_
Had Daniel Jones at 17/22 today with 2 TD & 1 INT
Few would be sacks count as completions but thought offense looked pretty good today in the first time they simulated regular offense moving the ball from the 40 yard line in
Looked a lot better with Lemiuex at C & Ezeudu at LG
