LIVE UPDATES: July 23, 2014 New York Giants Training Camp
Welcome to the first ‘Live Update Blog for the 2014’ New York Giants’ training camp. For Wednesday’s (July 23) practice, you won’t need to go anywhere else to find everything you need to know regarding Big Blue!
In the past, your source for breaking news and live updates from practice was featured in a Corner Forum post. While the news eventually got there, there was a delay and some was lost between the transfer of copying tweets and posting over to the forum. Not to mention…it was an awful lot of work.
Not anymore.
Below you will find LIVE tweets as they happen. Don’t have a twitter? Don’t worry! They’ll still show up below for you as soon as they are sent out.
Have a twitter and wanna join in on the LIVE conversation? Heading out to practice and want to have your observations noticed? Simply tweet using the hashtag “#BBI” and you’ll see whatever you send below.
BigBlueInteractive.com knows you love the Corner Forum and being able to interact with your fellow Giants’ fans as practice takes place. We want to make that as easy possible for you. Instead of having to keep two windows open (this page and The Corner Forum page), we will open the comment section of this post throughout the duration of practice.
Interact with fans just as you always have in the comment section, with the tweet-bar directly above. You’ll have your live updates and your interaction all in one place. We hope you enjoy!

Thanks Scyber. We’ll look at it. I don’t want to restrict re-tweets from BBI…just not have retweets show up here.
Working the bugs out…just like the Giants.
Eric,
Here is a link for creating a widget that ignores the Retweets:

Eric, check out the thread I just started – “For Eric.” You’ll see what I’m talking about.
Agreed – the retweeting makes it hard to follow new updates.

Trumaine McBride getting some work with 1st team now in place of DRC. Walter Thurmond working in his spot as well opposite Prince #NYG
Lenny, I can’t change that.
Weird…I don’t see them…maybe because I’m logged in to twitter.
Check that. I see re-tweets by a lot of other folks, too. Not sure if you’re the culprit.
That’s affirmative, Eric.
Klaatu, I re-tweet Connor’s tweets to BBI, but they are not showing above for me. Are you seeing them?
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr 20s
Bennett Jackson, Charles James and Zack Bowman all w first-string kickoff return, too. It’s early, but not a bad sign for fringe guys #nyg
The re-tweeting is a little annoying.
Pretty damn excited for McAdoo and this offense. Wish Odell Hamstring would practice.
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 50s
Some adjectives to describe Ben McAdoo’s demeanor during practice: demanding + impatient, qualities for which #NYG are looking to shake O up
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 1m
TE Daniel Fells gets first snap of 11 on 11 for second straight day. Very interesting #giants
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr 1m
First string for inside run/PA: Jernigan, Cruz and Randle are the wideouts. Beatty, Schwartz, Walton, Mosley Pugh. Fells at tight end. #nyg
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr 24s
Beckham by himself off to the side doing independent work, mostly slow paced jumps and squats #nyg
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 59s
Eli just badly wobbled 2 passes. One flew well over WR head #giants
Since you reversed the sort order can you reverse the numbering too so we know where we left off?
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 41s
McClain now shadowing MLB on 1st, 2nd and 3rd team LB units. Expect him to be limited today, but sure seems like nothing lingering #NYG
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 20s
Jameel McClain participating in individual drills with LBs. #NYG
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr 1m
Walter Thurmond with No. 1 kickoff, interesting. Good news for Bennett Jackson early, who is also with the 1’s. #nyg
Conor Orr @ConorTOrr 1m
Still love the flinch players get before hitting John Conner during kick return drills. #nyg
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton now
Looks like Brandon Mosley is back in there at RG with first team OL: Beatty-Schwartz-Walton-Mosley-Pugh. #NYG
GP … good idea.
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 1m
Odell Beckham, Brandon Mosley, Xavier Grimble all here too #giants
suggestion… move this ‘leave a reply’ box to the top of the news feed so we don’t have to scroll down through the old posts to add our valuable pearls of wisdom.
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 17s
LB Jameel McClain on field doing warm ups. That alone is a good sign. #giants
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 58s
Jerry Reese said 33 wasn’t old for a quarterback. Thinks Eli still has a lot left in tank. #Giants
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 1m
Tom Coughlin was not happy with first practice of camp yesterday. Jerry Reese says he told him last night: “We don’t want to peak too soon”
Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 1m
LB Jameel McClain is suited up and on the field as #Giants go through pre-practice walkthrough. Might not work today, but good sign. #NYG
Ebenezer Samuel @ebenezersamuel 1m
Reese says Beckham did indeed tweak his hammy again yesterday
Dan Salomone @NYGsalomone 55s
Reese says the Giants want a physical football team that plays fast. #GiantsCamp
How is McClain’s foot? – this is a test.
Ditto on Kennard. Hoping he’s a 5th round steal.
Tom Rock @TomRock_Newsday 2m
Can Andre Williams be a goal-line RB? “As long as it’s running the ball, I think it’s something I can excel at.”
Kennard is one of those guys who I’m dying to see in the preseason.
Tom Rock @TomRock_Newsday 35s
Ask Trumaine McBride how good the secondary can be. “I don’t know.”
Kennard use to moving and playing various positions. It is nice to have players ready to step in to other positions; but let him find a home.
Dan Salomone @NYGsalomone 12m
Andre Williams: I’m just looking to contribute any way I can, earn trust of coaches. #GiantsCamp
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 8m
CB Trumaine McBride (hip) still just participating in individual portion of practices. Not yet fully cleared. #giants
Not worried about Kennard. He’s a sharp guy, and he should be used to moving around.
Well, there goes my productivity for today. At least the young guys are getting some reps at linebacker with our top two FA LBs out.
I hope they keep Kennard at one spot and not move him around so much. Let him get comfortable outside and let Paysinger fill in in the MLB spot until McClain or Beason gets back.
Agreed stay hydrated. I am sure the medical stuff has made this known. If your thirsty it is to late your dehydrated. No injuries.
We will be adding tweets from other NYG beat writers as we move forward with this.
The McClain injury seems like old vet not wanting to participate early in camp.
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 24s
Herrmann says he’s planning on Beason not being there Week 1, until he’s actually told he’s cleared #giants
Dan Salomone @NYGsalomone 42s
LB Coach Herrmann says Beason is still doing everything but taking reps.
It’s weird, isn’t it, Eric? Could be worse, though. I think the Bengals have 13 guys on their PUP list.
Talk about sexy moves
I hope this McClain foot issue is not serious. We always seem to get hit by injuries at one position.
Reese spreads at 12:15? Oh myyyy.
Go Giants!
Pepto Bismol for Mosley.
Drink Gatorade guys….
Is this thing on?
Please no injuries today!!!
Welcome to the inaugural live updates!
