I believe this is the LAST official training camp practice (i.e., open to the public). Sy'56 is going to be at practice tomorrow. But I think this is it for non-media.
Let's see if they give us a nice physical practice for the last open practice or if they give us a walk through... I hope we practice 3rd & long as it would be nice to see the passing game at work to get my final live impressions of DJ, Tyrod and the rest. Won't see them live until week 2. Got to be there for the home opener. It's the only time the home crowd feels like a home crowd since we've been done by October as of lately.

This is on Joe Schoen, not Ronnie Barnes. Schoen is in charge of changing the medical team. If he took the job and Mara said he couldn’t, then Schoen is an idiot for taking the job. The Mara’s can take care of Ronnie (who I know is like family) without keeping him in charge and Schoen shouldn’t be dumb enough to take a job where that can’t change.

Kayvon Thibodeaux just followed Daniel Bellinger in motion and then played him in man coverage on a passing play. Also just saw Dexter Lawrence as a standup pass rusher in the A gap.
So, Toney is still not practicing and isn't expected to this week - if he does, it'll be later in the week. But I'm sure it's just much ado about nothing.
how many times this team changes regimes, it simply can't stay healthy.
The volume of injuries seemIngly on a yearly basis is exasperating. I know injuries are a big part of this game, but when the same team year in and year out seems to have higher % of injuries than the norm, there is cause for some type of re-evaluation.
That isn’t dealing with injuries this time of year. It’s not the medical staff; it’s the sport.
Surely you understand there's variance here. Just because every team has injuries doesn't mean every team has the same amount or has been hit with equal severity.
This has been a pretty major issue for the Giants for quite some time now.
I think we can stop trying to minimize it or pretend it's just run-of-the-mill stuff.
So, Toney is still not practicing and isn't expected to this week - if he does, it'll be later in the week. But I'm sure it's just much ado about nothing.
It’s not season ending. Let him be ready in 4 weeks. Not happy with these little injuries but he isn’t the only one banged up. U see to injury list?
To do any reasonable analysis, obviously one would have separate things like muscle pulls, strains, etc. from things like ligament tears, concussions, fractures etc.
One would assume (hope?) that all teams do analysis like this, given the money/salary cap space that can be eaten up by injuries, especially those considered "avoidable".

Every bear reporter has said they are unblocked defenders. Did you say this all camp?
He just went 6 for 19 on his passes in practice AND 3 of those 6 completions would have easily been sacks in a real game maybe even more than 3 of the 6...
Time to panic! Daniel Jones fucking sucks right now! Face it!
Please don't act surprised when this team (offense in particular) sucks this year, starting with Daniel Jones.
What an AWFUL camp he's had throwing the football. I'm just glad Schoen and Daboll are seeing this bullshit now, there is NO WAY IN HELL, that the 2 of them aren't ready to find a new QB next year when we can afford one.
Ugly day for the offense. None of the QBs looked good at all. Only bright spot was Barkley. Guess that means the D had a nice day. Injuries will kill the giants as usual.
AND holy fucking shit get this guy out of town. Zero development. He's not getting better its actually falling all apart.
Yeah the OL sucked today. But Daniel's quick passing game is awful, Tyrod is light years ahead of him as far as getting the ball out quick, decisive, quick release, good zip and placement on those short passes... all things Daniel doesn't do IMO.
more injuries. Great. We can't even get to the regular season remotely healthy.
I think people panic at the word injury these days. However, you have to separate them into two separate categories, remembering that this is training camp.
The first category is where you have injuries that will cause a player to miss games regardless of what time of the season it is. We put Miller, McKethon, Belton and probably Lemiuex into that group. We also add in guys who were injured last year and still are on rehab to this group- Gates, Shepard and Peart.
The second category is where the team isn’t punching someone to get back on the field because it is training camp- but if this were the regular season, would probably be a game time decision. We can put players both Williams, Ezeudu, Toney, Flott, Martinez and a few others.
I should probably say that there’s really a third category too- guys who are injured who appear not to have long term injuries and won’t make the team. Guys like Proehl, Douglass, Sills, Slayton and maybe Seals-Jones.
IMO, the first group are worrisome- but that’s part of the game. Every team deals with those.
The other two aren’t as worrisome, as the second group tends to have the majority to those guys suit up on game day- and the third group doesn’t matter after cutdowns.
maybe, just maybe, the decimated OL had something to do with it? Some people automatically go to Jones sucks
Man... if you want to make excus3s for DJ for another 3/4 years then go right ahead... the new coaching staff, the coaching change, the scheme, the scheme change, the WRs, the OL, blame the defense... just pile on and pile on
End of the day Daniel Jones can't throw the fucking football or play the QB position the way we need him to in order to win games.
But if you want to blame the OL this practice I'd be okay with that... but he has stunk it up pretty much all camp

Of course we're going to suck this year. Are there people who really thought otherwise? We've got quite a few rookies slated to be starters/key role players. We've got a rebuilt OL. We're still unwinding Gettleman's horrendously constructed roster. This is going to be a bad team.
The only thing that's questionable is whether we see signs that the new regime has turned the tide. This will be a process and the early returns are unlikley to be pretty. All I'm hoping for by the end of the year is that I don't dread turning on the Giants game every week. If they can get football back to being somewhat fun, that will be a major accomplishment for 2022.
said Phil Simms sucks, not a pro QB. What were the Giants thinking drafting him. Maybe Jones sucks too. However, Simms didn’t have three HC, numerous Offensive Coordinators and OL. Let’s play out the year. Then we will know for sure.

But replacing him NOW based on PRACTICE would be utterly stupid. Lets see how he does, you know, in the actual GAMES that count! He will probably stink. I hope he doesnt but at this point, I kind of expect it. And when next offseasons comes he will be replaced.

the Strength and Conditioning team for injury prevention, and the medical team is more for treating injuries and making sure they are fully healed before becoming active again?
Even then, I question how realistic it is to prevent injuries with large humans that are pushing their bodies to the limit? It just seems inevitable and unpredictable even with preventative measures like proper stretching, rest and nutrition.

A few more observations after reviewing my notes:
• I had Jones scrambling four times, throwing the ball away three times and two plays blown dead as sacks. Combination of QB, OL and receivers made for a rough day for the passing offense.
• Kenny Golladay's drop in the preseason opener was egregious, but more concerning is how little production he has daily in practice. He had two targets today, both on end zone fades vs. Aaron Robinson and both were incomplete.
• Adoree' Jackson had a pick today when he contested a short pass to Richie James and then corralled the tipped ball. Jackson has been stifling in coverage all camp.
• Another takeaway for Darnay Holmes, who made a sweet one-handed grab for an interception in the end zone.
• Saquon continues to look great. Broke a long run on a play where misdirection had the defense flowing to the right and Saquon burst through a hole to the left.
• Rookie Trenton Thompson was the third safety in the dime package.
BBI gives him access. He will be there tomorrow. But I think tomorrow is the last time he is going even though he could go to other practices.
Quote:
attendance, or does his Ourlads(or BBI) position give him access.

This is on Joe Schoen, not Ronnie Barnes. Schoen is in charge of changing the medical team. If he took the job and Mara said he couldn’t, then Schoen is an idiot for taking the job. The Mara’s can take care of Ronnie (who I know is like family) without keeping him in charge and Schoen shouldn’t be dumb enough to take a job where that can’t change. So, I assume Schoen wants Ronnie to lead medical
Did he also kick McKethan in the knee at practice?

Antonio Williams & Gary Brightwell have both gotten reps with the 1st team today
The volume of injuries seemIngly on a yearly basis is exasperating. I know injuries are a big part of this game, but when the same team year in and year out seems to have higher % of injuries than the norm, there is cause for some type of re-evaluation.
Surely you understand there's variance here. Just because every team has injuries doesn't mean every team has the same amount or has been hit with equal severity.
This has been a pretty major issue for the Giants for quite some time now.
I think we can stop trying to minimize it or pretend it's just run-of-the-mill stuff.
It’s not season ending. Let him be ready in 4 weeks. Not happy with these little injuries but he isn’t the only one banged up. U see to injury list?
To do any reasonable analysis, obviously one would have separate things like muscle pulls, strains, etc. from things like ligament tears, concussions, fractures etc.
One would assume (hope?) that all teams do analysis like this, given the money/salary cap space that can be eaten up by injuries, especially those considered "avoidable".

Really rough day for #Giants offense. Completing passes was a struggle. Daniel Jones went 6-of-20 w/INT.
It’s really hard when you can’t get easy completions to a No. 1 receiver. Kenny Golladay played plenty and didn’t catch a pass on 2 targets. Kadarius Toney was out w/injury.

Every bear reporter has said they are unblocked defenders. Did you say this all camp?
That argument has been made from time to time, including by older vets.
Time to panic! Daniel Jones fucking sucks right now! Face it!
Please don't act surprised when this team (offense in particular) sucks this year, starting with Daniel Jones.
What an AWFUL camp he's had throwing the football. I'm just glad Schoen and Daboll are seeing this bullshit now, there is NO WAY IN HELL, that the 2 of them aren't ready to find a new QB next year when we can afford one.
Yeah the OL sucked today. But Daniel's quick passing game is awful, Tyrod is light years ahead of him as far as getting the ball out quick, decisive, quick release, good zip and placement on those short passes... all things Daniel doesn't do IMO.
Dude it's the truth, he fucking sucks man. He has looked awful in 6 of 7 practices... not bad... AWFUL
I think people panic at the word injury these days. However, you have to separate them into two separate categories, remembering that this is training camp.
The first category is where you have injuries that will cause a player to miss games regardless of what time of the season it is. We put Miller, McKethon, Belton and probably Lemiuex into that group. We also add in guys who were injured last year and still are on rehab to this group- Gates, Shepard and Peart.
The second category is where the team isn’t punching someone to get back on the field because it is training camp- but if this were the regular season, would probably be a game time decision. We can put players both Williams, Ezeudu, Toney, Flott, Martinez and a few others.
I should probably say that there’s really a third category too- guys who are injured who appear not to have long term injuries and won’t make the team. Guys like Proehl, Douglass, Sills, Slayton and maybe Seals-Jones.
IMO, the first group are worrisome- but that’s part of the game. Every team deals with those.
The other two aren’t as worrisome, as the second group tends to have the majority to those guys suit up on game day- and the third group doesn’t matter after cutdowns.

Saquon Barkley continues to run hard. Popped a nifty long scamper behind right tackle Evan Neal, who pulled across the formation and created a crease.

Giants offense wasn't great today. Passing game was a grind and completions were hard to find. Kenny Golladay has very little presence right now, and first-team WR for Daniel Jones were Golladay, Collin Johnson and Richie James.

Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson is practicing, but after getting a ton of reps and targets over the first week and a half, his volume has been down.
My guess: they've seen enough and are now about fine-tuning those plays in walkthroughs and keeping them under wraps. #Giants
- WRs don’t get open
- OL can’t block
- Unblocked blitzer time and time again.
And the summation is Daniel Jones is holding the offense back because someone attended a few practices with a biased opinion. Gonna be a fun year here.
And by the way 90.cal - many here aren’t Jones fans so please stop acting like everyone is.

Lol yes of course... but someone here on BBI will probably make that argument later on and they will not be joking, they'll be dead serious.
Today without Toney, and every time Toney doesn't practice... this offense is sooooo one dimensional... imagine the offense hinging on an unproven OL, injury prone/un proven Kadarius Toney and garbage ass Daniel Jones... we are going to suck this year. It's starting to become clear. I hope I am way off but I've watched alot of camp this year and it looks really really bad.

There isn't a poster here who didn't realize a year ago that Jones was a huge question mark. You make it sound like its a new revelation and you are leading the way, except you're about a season behind. The difference is we don't scream after every stupid practice about Jones, and know we have to live with him this year.
You should really learn more about football before you post anymore. There are 11 guys out there, not just Jones. Also, by the way, I thought Jones looked fairly good in a "real" game on Thursday. That carries a lot more weight than a practice with everyone hurt

Well just believe the beat reporters then and all the media sources that ever take their word for it... or just go and see for yourself next time and have your own opinion.
Which one of them said "Daniel Jones looks like the real deal..." and forgive me if I won't hold my breathe for you to look for that one...

Ok fair point...
& you clearly should learn more about football if you think a "real game" took place last Thursday, the first week of August, against the Pats 2nd team. Just saying.
You know excuses tend to be made up narratives.
A poor, banged up OL
Bad Receivers
Those aren’t excuses. They are pretty much facts. A concept some can’t grasp… we are gonna probably have a bad QB, bad WRs and an inconsistent OL. Blaming it all one one group or person is not telling the whole story.

Of course we're going to suck this year. Are there people who really thought otherwise? We've got quite a few rookies slated to be starters/key role players. We've got a rebuilt OL. We're still unwinding Gettleman's horrendously constructed roster. This is going to be a bad team.
The only thing that's questionable is whether we see signs that the new regime has turned the tide. This will be a process and the early returns are unlikley to be pretty. All I'm hoping for by the end of the year is that I don't dread turning on the Giants game every week. If they can get football back to being somewhat fun, that will be a major accomplishment for 2022.

JFC......WHAT DO YOU WANT THEM TO DO ABOUT IT TODAY????? STOP F'ING RANTING!!!!!! I dont think anyone is saying that they want to hang on to Jones for another 3/4 years. But replacing him NOW based on PRACTICE would be utterly stupid. Lets see how he does, you know, in the actual GAMES that count! He will probably stink. I hope he doesnt but at this point, I kind of expect it. And when next offseasons comes he will be replaced.

Things actually may be more dire on the OL, with only 10 healthy players coming out of today's practice:
LT Andrew Thomas, LG Max Garcia, C Ben Bredeson, RG Mark Glowinski, RT Evan Neal, LT Devery Hamilton, LT Roy Mbaeteka, C Garrett McGhin, RG Will Holden, RT Eric Smith.
I think if Thomas, Neal and Glowinski all stay healthy they can manage things. I hope.
I think Williams and Jackson may need the two players that need to stay healthy.
Maybe they catch a break but injuries will quickly derail this team again. They need more depth.
Even then, I question how realistic it is to prevent injuries with large humans that are pushing their bodies to the limit? It just seems inevitable and unpredictable even with preventative measures like proper stretching, rest and nutrition.

A few more observations after reviewing my notes:
• I had Jones scrambling four times, throwing the ball away three times and two plays blown dead as sacks. Combination of QB, OL and receivers made for a rough day for the passing offense.
• Kenny Golladay's drop in the preseason opener was egregious, but more concerning is how little production he has daily in practice. He had two targets today, both on end zone fades vs. Aaron Robinson and both were incomplete.
• Adoree' Jackson had a pick today when he contested a short pass to Richie James and then corralled the tipped ball. Jackson has been stifling in coverage all camp.
• Another takeaway for Darnay Holmes, who made a sweet one-handed grab for an interception in the end zone.
• Saquon continues to look great. Broke a long run on a play where misdirection had the defense flowing to the right and Saquon burst through a hole to the left.
• Rookie Trenton Thompson was the third safety in the dime package.
