| The New York Giants opened their third week of organized team activities (OTAs) on Monday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. They will practice every day except Wednesday leading into next week's minicamp, and then the team will break until training camp in late July. The Giants spent a lot of time in the red zone, so there were many plays to be made on both sides of the ball. Let's get to it. Here are highlights from OTA No. 7: |

OTA Report: Notes & observations from sideline - ( New Window )
Okereke just seems like the perfect MLB for this defense and pairing him with Beavers would seem to compliment each other's games quite well.
His comments on McFadden are interesting. I wasnt impressed with him last year. But I dont think BO would make that up. Maybe MM is learning off of BO in a way that he was unable to with his surroundings last year. Would be great to have some LBs who can play again.
I’m really hoping he squeezes his way onto the roster. It would be great to see him burst onto the scene.

Can he return punts?
Crowder has always been a very good WR. Similar to Shep / Giants Steve Smith. If healthy he should make the team.
Campbell/Hodgins/Hyatt/Slayton/Johnson/Shep. The Giants actually have a pretty deep WR corps. Add in Waller and Bellinger and, health willing, Jones will have plenty of weapons.
I remember him hurting us. If he's healthy, he can help us out this year. Can he return punts and kicks (not that kicks are much of a thing anymore) still though?

LOL. Well played.
Darren Waller (again)
Collin Johnson (again)

Yes they've trained together at Duke in the past. Daniel Jones confirmed it as well.
I think they've been told not to do that as it would cause a bunch of "the starting QB sucks" reactions.

Some guys take a leap after full off season. MM looked so so at best but has a few tools to work with. Look forward to camp
Yea, looks like 7-8 could belong in league
Last yr, maybe 2-3 each week
Nothing close to a wr1 but that’s not horrible, especially if teams need to pay attention to Waller.
Will cost the cutting of a younger player with far more upside to keep him.
Crowder is limited to being a reliable chains mover. He is short and has poor timed speed, is over 30, and multiple teams have decided they can do better.
See my two OTA reports. He's been working on the side.
Makes sense...both Duke guys. I always thought it would be unlikely he'd make the team, but there is something to be said for having a mentor-like player in the position, or that might be Shep's role.
Hyatt, Hodgins, Campbell, Robinson and Slayton are locks. Your question marks start and end with Shepard, Crowder, Smith, Sills, Collin Johnson, etc.
Crowder really hasn't done much in a couple years. To me he feels like insurance if Wan'Dale and Shepard can't be ready. Perhaps PS spot?

That's what he was best at as a prospect
Pimpleton returns 2 punts for TDs in same game - ( New Window )

Serious question: If you're a TE, I can see wanting to get stronger legs, but what is the advantage of arms like that? Does that kind of bulk help with blocking?
Being strong makes you a better blocker.

Never saw his highlights before - he looks good as a punt returner. Small, fast, shifty. Looks decent as a WR too.
Bravo!
I agree 100% As I looked at all the writers putting together their way too early 53 man rosters,Crowder wasn't on any of them.If healthy,I don't see how he doesn't make the 53.Solid pro who always makes the big catch!

Also, all sprinters need upper body strength. Sprinters spend less time with their feet on the ground and upper body balance and transfer of power forward is all the more important. Something like that…
They may only be in shirts and shorts with no hitting, but there is still serious pressure for untested rookies and rehabbing veterans.
