Observations from Friday’s Giants coaching camp session.
Higher protected than sorry
They referred to as it a Blue-White scrimmage Friday night time at MetLife Stadium however there was no dwell tackling allowed by the Giants’ first and second groups. That was a superb transfer by first-year head coach Brian Daboll. Typically scrimmages can get overheated, with gamers overanxious to hit somebody. Decreasing the chance of damage was the best way to go.
Daniel groans
The primary cross Daniel Jones threw within the group interval ought to have been become a pick-six by Adoree’ Jackson. It acquired solely a bit higher after that for Jones, as he had hassle finding open targets and was below an excessive amount of strain and was compelled to tuck it and run too typically.
Caught my eyes
On a third-and-8, defensive coordinator Wink Martindale had rookie LB Kayvon Thibodeaux drop in protection on a cross from Jones to rookie Wan’Dale Robinson for 28 yards. Have a sense that won’t be the norm this season.
Thibodeaux all summer time has proven an explosive burst as a cross rusher and he drew a number of holding penalties — one on LT Andrew Thomas — within the scrimmage.
