how short camp (the length of each practice as well as the total number of days) is these days compared to the Albany days.
Keep this in mind.... we are six days away from the first preseason game (and there are only three preseason games). And yet the team has only practiced in pads TWICE.
Seems like Andre Miller has gotten a few positive mentions, though.
Maybe it's just me, but a former WR in college may very well be the teams #2 TE/h-back come Week 1.
Ricky Seals Jones being absent is hurting his stock. Akins is nothing to write home about. Allen is intriguing due to his size. I haven't heard much in regards to Jeremiah Hall.

And people wonder why there are so many missed tackles. Even with padded practices they aren't allowed to actually tackle. So, how do you reinforce wrapping up and bringing a ball carrier to the ground?
"game-like" practice/hitting occurs in training camp, and couple that with the sheer number of new players on this team (not to mention a brand-new coaching staff), it's will probably be a little unfair to judge this team after, say, the first 6-8 games.
This team needs some time, and I expect to see some sort of improvement come the second half of the season. But the first half? Judge them not too harshly!

Yeah, I'm sure BBI will give Jones a pass for the first 6-8 before starting to judge him :)

Giants have started 7-on-7, but it's a non-competitive period.

Jones likely sacked by the blitzing defender, but the play continues. He finds Robinson for a 28-yard gain on 3rd & 8 to move the chains. #GIants

Difference between flag football and tackle football.
Keep this in mind.... we are six days away from the first preseason game (and there are only three preseason games). And yet the team has only practiced in pads TWICE.
How can it not be? There comes a point where the fear of injuries is a bigger problem than actual execution.
