Brian Burns kills Andrew Thomas on an inside move.

First time I’ve seen Thomas lose a rep like that in a practice

In two minute drill, Jones connected deep with Nabers up the sideline on the 1st play, and then found Hyatt on a back shoulder at the one yard line.

A designed QB run up the middle capped the drive in three plays with a quick TD

Giants Training Camp Day 3 thoughts

•Really rough day for Daniel Jones. Threw 6 times 20+ yards & all but one nice Malik Nabers throw was a miss. Some egregious. Plus an INT
•Flip side to that is defense is letting guys get open downfield. They were aggressive in their rush today
•Brian Burns had a lot of good plays & one nasty one on Andrew Thomas
•Jermaine Eluemunor practicing in 11 on 11
•Dante Miller living up to Turbo nickname. Deep TD on a 50+ yard wheel route & another beating the blitz
•Dane Belton with a sick INT to end practice undercutting a Malik Nabers back shoulder
•offense ran a lot of 4 WR & defense 6 DB’s with Andru Phillips

but looks like Nabers wasn't on the same page as Jones on the INT, seemed like he kept going and Jones threw but Nabers didn't stop.

New year. Same results.

-Glad guys are getting open and Jones is attempting them
-I'd rather Jones miss now than in actual games
-If he continues missing in games, fine, adios.

Don't worry folks he's only rusty. It's going to be different this year! SMH

are simply going to accept the fact that we don't have a quarterback. It is what it is.

Skinner has clipped the one Jones completion to Nabers deep from this practice and it was a very good ball. Man I'm just trying to be optimistic here lol.

I guarantee by the quarter point Nabers twitter is going to be really cryptic.

Need the FO to accept it as well

Yep, and the big unknown is when we will get one. Despite the QB, this team may be good enough to win 6 or 7 games, which would likely result in us drafting too low to get a top QB prospect. QB purgatory

We say this every year, but many don't listen. I've been burned by that too many times --both ways, getting excited and getting too down. We actually saw the opposite last year. Jones had a great camp throwing the ball down field. Then the games came. Historically, the offense is almost always behind the defense early on. Last year was one of the exceptions where offense looked great from the start.

I thought Nabers could have caught that

#Giants100 ARobinson - did not have a vet in the roo. when he came into the league so it is important to him to help these young guys as much as he can..and it reinforces his own thoughts...sky is the limit for nabers - just trying to give some some details that will assist him

Nick Falato @nickfalato Maybe a confusion? The routes seem very close together Still, Hyatt just misses hauling in a pass along the sidelines after having a step against Tre Hawkins III. https://x.com/nickfalato/status/1816853631599030706 - ( New Window )

Hyatt had 2 hands on the ball high-pointing it. Gotta catch those.

Malik Nabers called his shot on the go ball that set up Giants’ TD drive in second to last team period. Daniel Jones asked him if he wanted to change it up with defense in press man and Nabers said no.

“Just throw it.”

He did. #Giants100

Did he have a great camp? He was bad in the joint practices. The red flags were there.

It is the beginning of camp. He's coming off his ACL injury when almost nobody thought he'd be ready but now, and throwing to a new WR. Do you guys expect him to be perfect on all of his throws right now? What matters is that the reads are correct and he's going to the right spot with the ball. Fuckin chill out. It is what it is this year.

.

That is a throw I’d expect a HS QB to complete. You can’t miss those. Not in practice, not in the game. The fact that our 6th year QB cannot complete that pass in shorts is worrisome.

Is this an overreaction to one throw? No, it’s not...because I’ve seen Jones overthrow wide open receivers for his entire career. Did it to Hyatt last year. Did it to Engram, Shep, Slayton…

he is an overthinker and the game is too fast for him.

i can live with it, He needs to be agressive, to many times last year he would check down and then the next dat you look and there is video of guys running wide open down the field..

That Nabers play is perhaps a good sign that he threw the ball even when he wasnt wide open..

I dont trust Jones at all but to be fair Burns beat Thomas clean and wJones had to rush it

I've been to enough camps to know not to read too much into it. But yes, I attended many sessions last year and Jones had a good camp. The bad day in joint practices was on the first day. Day 2 was good. I'm not making a case for Jones. But knee jerk reactions to camp reports is flawed. Eli had more than his share of rough camps, especially early on in camp.

Sometimes.

A lot of posters making asses of themselves.

>"look at people overreacting"

with the non-stop whining and crying.....

Maybe some of you should jump on the Jets band wagon this year.

Year six of a three year QB project.

is his accuracy deep or short or midfield. He throws a nice clean ball and it generally pretty accurate, for his career.

But then he had those incompletions in July practice so maybe I should rethink my take.

especially Skinner. Did the offense really struggle today?

Delete all of his tweets/videos?

Agreed. But it's like the five stages of grief, with the last stage being acceptance. Many fans are incredibly still not at that point. Maybe that's because with each new training camp there is renewed hope. But although that may be fine at other positions, it isn't at QB. We have two journeyman backups or "bridge starters" and a third QB whose career will likely be bouncing around various practice squads for a few years.

there was that overthrow of Cager vs Seattle in 2022 that is etched in my memory. An easy pass that any HS QB can nail, and Jones just missed. And on a brilliant play design and call.

No. Skinner is just making sure he doesn't alienate half of his fanbase that needs fresh bones to chew on when Jones isn't perfect.

You should definitely rethink this. The reason Jones is reluctant to throw deep is that he himself knows he is inaccurate.

addition of high powered WR's the last three years, they are going to get frustrated.

I don't know what form the frustration will take......

Not running deep
Not completing routes
Not blocking when called to do it
or worse- actual sniping at the QB on the field or sidelines.

I am really pulling for Dante Miller. Such an interesting backstory (kinda got jobbed by the NCAA, but at least he can fall back on his degree from Columbia!).

I remember right, Jones throws a pretty accurate deep ball. Saw him do it plenty. It's more of the reluctance was the issue.
