Every day there is not a new injury is a good day...


July 26, 2024 New York Giants Training Camp Report - ( New Window )
Very thorough write-up, thanks

You notes the punt returners. Have they done kick returns?
Would love to get a little more info on Dru Phillips.  
barens : 7/26/2024 4:22 pm : link
I saw that he was sharing some slot reps, but after 3 days, and lots of activity with the WR's and CB's, haven't really heard a peep on Phillips.

Jordan mentioned on his pod that Phillips is not getting as many reps as they are featuring McCloud and Isaiah Simmons in the slot.
Thoughts...

Shout out to Robbieballs... had the comment of the day for camp thread, my interpretation:

Everyone relax about QB. Nobody would have bet the house on DJ taking reps at this point. Clear focus on feeding Nabers today, and he's brand new...no chemistry yet. Important whether DJ is making correct reads, and none of us know what that is. Like Mora said "you think you know, but don't know, and you never will"

Yesterday the report gave kudos to Hawkins III for being sticky, then today Skinner and crew have said he's had a terrible camp... I prefer to trust the perception of the former rather than the latter.

But that's just it; Perception. Lets all relax a little about every detail.

I'm sure they have. In mini-camp, the returners were RB Devin Singletary, RB Dante Miller, RB Tyrone Tracy, WR Ayir Asante, and WR Wan’Dale Robinson.

The source of the Hawkins report yesterday was Schmeelk.

But remember, there are a ton of things going on on the field and only so many eyes.
I love camp

But you have to keep it in perspective. It's practice and there are many dimensions to it. Take it in stride, and with a grain of salt, and don't mistake it for the real thing.

The joint practices will be a different matter.
Was there any mention of JMS?

I don't see him on the injury report but Morrissey was at starting C?

As it indicates, Morrissey was the starting center late in practice. JMS was the first team center up until that point.

And why was Morrissey in at C? That's my question.

If it's Daboll rotating guys in again instead of sticking with the starting 5, I am not a fan of that. Especially on day 3. Why prioritize depth scenarios over getting the starting 5 ready?
It’s perfectly

Fine at this stage to be rotating guys in. The problem last year was he was doing it right up the start of the regular season

I recommend watching the press conferences. Daboll explains all of that. They work people in for a number of different reasons.

They may have seen enough for the day and taken the opportunity to get someobe else reps with the 1s. Not a big deal at the end of the day.
Don't sleep on "turbo" ....

Can't teach the kind of speed he has.
This time last year many people were salivating over DJ to Waller.  
Spider56 : 7/27/2024 2:14 pm : link
It’s way too early to form any conclusions. I just enjoy reading about real football and that my heroes are still undefeated in 2024.

Rooting for Turbo. I was thinking his best chance to make the team would be to beat out Olszewski for PR, but haven’t heard a lot about him in that capacity. But he seems to be doing more out of the backfield than I expected at this point, so maybe………
Nick McCloud might turn into a valuable piece in that secondary.

I can see him stepping up into a role where some others may just flounder.
