1. Some notes from today: I only count 11 v. 11 reps, but during the first period all 11 players were on the field with only half the field live. During that period, Jones was picked by Adoree' Jackson after holding the ball through a would-be sack by Thibdoeaux (beat Thomas).
2. Thibodeaux also beat Thomas around the edge during an 11-on-11 period.
• Jihad Ward had a pressure against Evan Neal in the half-field drill and another on the first play of 11 v 11. Neal has looked like a rookie tackle at times during camp.
3. Quincy Roche has looked good in camp, but has been buried on the depth chart. He was in the backfield a lot today, beating Josh Ezeudu around the edge when Ezeudu was the second-team LT. Oshane Ximines beat Ezeudu in the half-field drill.
4. The second-team OL had a funky look with the guards and tackles swapping positions: LT Ezeudu, LG Hamilton, C Douglas, RG Gono, RT McKethan.
• TE Andre Miller has been getting increasing reps with the 1's.
• Andrew Adams replaced Dane Belton as the No. 3 safety.
5. David Sills took advantage of Kenny Golladay's maintenance day with 4 catches from Jones, including a TD to close practice.
• Darius Slayton had a good practice, catching a pretty deep ball from Tyrod Taylor and leaping over 5-9 CB Khalil Dorsey for a TD on a heave by Taylor
6. Wan'Dale Robinson lined up in the backfield and took a handoff from Jones in a team period.
• Active practice for rookie CB Darren Evans. Had him down for three pass breakups, and he had good coverage to force Robert Foster out of bounds on a deep catch.
has developed a pass rush suddenly. Him and Roche are going to make things interesting at OLB. Gono, otoh, seems to be playing poorly fairly regularly, so that may factor in.

It really is interesting to watch Kayvon Thibodeaux mixing up his pass rush approaches against Andrew Thomas and to a lesser extent Evan Neal today
Inside, outside, power, speed.
Thomas does good job making Thibodeaux work + diversify. Had two would-be sacks and two pressures.
I think this was what Daboll was talking about with Jones - just let it go. Get used to making plays vs worrying about bad outcomes.
Today's Jones may have also been the WRs and QBs getting on the same page and making the same reads.

I heard recently that song was a Vietnam protest song, done in such a way that it didn't sound like one.

Interesting note: The Giants gave veteran DL Nick Williams a $100K signing bonus when they signed him last week, per source.
Not a significant amount, but street free agents typically get minimum contracts with no guarantees when they sign at this stage.
