Daniel Jones says he has no doubt he will be ready for Week 1, and he was extremely open and honest about all the #Giants’ QB work this offseason and his current position. Admitted he “wasn’t fired up” about the potential of NG drafting a QB on draft night, but he IS excited about Malik Nabers’ addition to the offense.

Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal didn’t work in team drills today, so you kinda expect this, but Brian Burns was a menace.
I had him with three would-be (obvious) sacks. He came around Ezeudu so fast on one play he tapped Lock on the butt before throwing his hand up to celebrate.

Strange. Watched that twice and he never uses the phrase "wasn't fired up." Maybe Art flubbed which clip he posted.
and been injured during some of those games. That's not an excuse, more an explanation. Doesn't mean he's about to embark on a good or great career but being bad those first 20 also doesn't mean he's a bust. Not yet.
For perspective, go look at Jumbo Elliot's first 20 games. Even take a QB like Eli Manning and tell me how he was perceived after 20 games. Better yet tell me about Eli after his first 25-30 games when he was shutout at home in a playoff game and everyone was convinced he would never win big games or never win on the road.
Players get better with reps. The key to finding those steals or good players that sort of come out of nowhere to me, the number one rule--is that guy getting reps and time in the NFL. IF he is, there's reasons for hope. Practice makes perfect. It's an old adage but so true.

Thomas has an injury history so the Giants are seeing which of the back-ups is the best option in the new scheme to play LT. I am sure we will see others getting reps there during camp when Thomas takes time off.

Especially when you have someone of Patterson's reputation it would be idiotic to freeze him out. Perhaps that was also some of the issue with Wink and his bosom buddy Wilkins.

RE: Why do they still have a 3rd round OG (Ezudu) taking reps at OLT?
Ezudu played some LT in college. Having a decent backup LT is pretty important. As it seems Eluemunor is playing LG it frees up Ezudu to get reps as a backup tackle.

Yes, all that matters is the games. But there are no games now. So how he moves, how he compares to the other #Giants QBs, his rapport with Nabers etc. is what matters.
Every May update cant be framed as ‘Hes moving well after ACL surgery but if he throws 2 INTs vs Vikings then bench him.’
He has a chip on his shoulder. He played above-average with a chip in 2022.

Andrew Thomas didn't take team reps today. Josh Ezeudu played left tackle. And Brian Burns was lighting him up. I asked Burns if he counted how many sacks he had:

Ryan Dunleavy
@rydunleavy
My #NyGiants takeaways from first OTA practice:
- Daniel Jones looked smooth moving around on his surgically repaired knee.
- Pump the brakes on any QB controversy. Heard DJ looked has been the sharper QB so far this offseason and Drew Lock's inaccuracy today reinforced it. DJ was QB1 in 7-on-7. Lock QB1 in 11-on-11 (no reps for DJ).
- LT Andrew Thomas took no team reps. Seems like that was the case in earlier OTAs, too. Load management? RT Evan Neal is with the rehab group.
- It's hard to believe that Josh Ezeudu is in line to be the swing OT again after struggling last year. I'd like to let him develop at OG -- compete to start or be the swing OG. But Jermaine Eluemunor was starting at RG and OT Matt Nelson was with the rehab group. Ezeudu next up.
- Why is Jon Runyan at RG instead of LG? First, it could be a day-to-day switch. But my broader understanding is that #Giants look at pairing up LT-LG and RT-RG. They are weaker on the right side, so put the better RG there.
- The DL depth is lacking on paper. I've been saying that since the draft. It was more startling today when Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Jordan Phillips were not here (voluntary). Big opportunity for Jordon Riley.
- No sign of Daniel Bellinger, either. Big spring for him with Darren Waller not here/likely to retire.
- Eric Gray got some RB1 snaps in up-tempo 11-on-11.

Notable difference from last offseason: Last year, the Giants didn't do a single 11-on-11 period in the practices open to the media; it was all 7-on-7.
Today's practice featured a 7-on-7 period early and then extensive 11-on-11 work. Linemen aren't wearing pads, but at least they're getting reps in a game-like setting this spring.

Pointed this out the other day, but relevant here and I think pic confirms it - giants.com now lists him at 315lbs, his combine weight was 338lbs. Normally you can't really trust the website numbers but a few who have seen him have made comments about his weight at this point.
Well, I guess the coaches are either giving up on him being a guard or they feel we need more tackles and we already have enough guards.
Did you read the notes above????
Our starting LT sat out. Our primary swing-tackle was playing his normal starting spot (wouldn't in a real game) and the back-up swing tackle (Nelson) was on the sidelines.

#Giants just wrapped up their first media-open OTA.
The highlight: Long touchdown to Malik Nabers.
Drew Lock hit him on the deep shot. He got behind both Pinnick & Flott. Just a glimpse into what #NYG hope Nabers can bring.
Of note: There was pressure on the play. Lock might have been sacked, but it’s a padless OTA, so give him the TD.
Of extra note: That was really the only highlight for Lock. He did not perform well in team drills. I had him 10 of 20 with several misfires.
