PRACTICE NOTES…
Some snippets from various media sources:
- The Giants practiced in full pads. There was a heavy emphasis on the running game and the red zone.
- The first-team offensive line for the second day in a row was LT Andrew Thomas, LG Jon Runyan, OC Greg Van Roten, RG Aaaron Stinnie, and RT Jermaine Eluemunor.
- Before he left practice with an injury, Josh Ezeudu received some first-team reps at left guard and second-team reps at tackle.
- Austin Schlottmann and Jimmy Morrissey also worked in at center.
- Starting at the skill positions were RB Devin Singletary, WR Malik Nabers, WR Wan’Dale Robinson, WR Jalin Hyatt, and TE Daniel Bellinger.
- In 1-on-1 drills, QB Drew Lock threw a nice deep pass to WR Wan’Dale Robinson for a touchdown against CB Tre Herndon.
- In the same drills, QB Daniel Jones completed two sideline passes to WR Jalin Hyatt against CB Darnay Holmes despite tight coverage.
- Starting off in 1-on-1 drills but continuing throughout practice, WR Malik Nabers had a strong day. He had a number of catches against different cornerbacks, including a touchdown against CB Deonte Banks in 1-on1 drills. He later spun away from S Dane Belton after a catch in the red zone for what might have been a touchdown. Nabers made a number of difficult sideline catches look easy.
- CB Deonte Banks also had a good practice, causing a number of incompletions.
- In 1-on-1 pass-rush drills, RT Jermaine Eluemunor had two solid reps against OLB Brian Burns. But Burns later beat Eluemunor badly in 11-on-11 drills with an inside spin move and “sack,” which would have wiped out a nifty touchdown reception by WR Jalin Hyatt. Burns had a strong day, with at least a couple of “sacks.”
- In 1-on-1 drills, OG Jon Runyan had problems with the power of DT Dexter Lawrence.
- OG Jake Kubas stonewalled Rakeem Nunez-Roches on one 1-on-1 attempt. Nunez-Roches pancaked OC Greg Van Roten in same drills.
- In 2-on-2 pass-rush drills, OT Joshua Miles and OG Marcus McKethan did a good job picking up a stunt by OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux and DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches.
- In 2-on-2 drills, LT Andrew Thomas and LG Jon Runyan handled DL Dexter Lawrence and OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux on one rep.
- CB Cor’Dale Flott made some plays, including tight coverage on WR Isaiah Hodgins in 1-on-1 drills and breaking up a pass to WR Malik Nabers in team drills.
- CB Andru Phillips broke up a pass from QB Daniel Jones to WR Malik Nabers in team drills. He also broke up a couple of passes in 1-on-1 drills.
- OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux would have had a “sack” on a play-action red-zone play where he didn’t fall for the fake and got to QB Daniel Jones untouched.
- OLB Azeez Ojulari had another “sack.”
- On a 4th-and-long play, QB Daniel Jones long throw to WR Malik Nabers was intercepted over the middle by S Jason Pinnock (Jones probably would have been sacked on this play by OLB Brian Burns and DL Ryder Anderson).
- WR Wan’Dale Robinson had an active day catching passes over the middle.
- DL Elijah Chatman received reps with the first team and had a “sack” of QB Daniel Jones.
- QB Daniel Jones finished team drills 9-of-16 with one touchdown and one interception. He was clearly “sacked” on a few plays.
- WR Allen Robinson did score in 11-on-11 drills on a red zone touchdown throw.
- RB Tyrone Tracy received a heavy workload and flashed. He scored on a short run, but fumbled on another play.
