The New York Giants put the pads on for the first time in training camp.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The first day of full pads at New York Giants practice is prime time for defensive players to make names for themselves. The freedom to fly in and make stops against the run, engage blockers violently, and get physical when looking to break up passes allows players to establish themselves.
“In the spring, I was looking at him like, ‘How’s he going to do this?’” cornerback Dru Phillips said about Simmons after practice. “He’s just so big, but you see him covering guys like Wan’Dale ...he’s a freak of nature.” Second-year safety Gervarrius Owens, who worked alongside Elijah Riley as the second-team safety, also had a strong day.
Jones has done well getting the ball out of his hand quickly on the shorter throws. He also completed a few throws while off-balance. After practice, Jones and center Austin Schlottmann, in for John Michael Schmitz, got together to work on the ball exchange. Considering the offensive line injuries, Lock was playing with bottom-of-the-roster linemen so using his legs to buy time was a necessity.
Free agent signing Devin Singletary picked up chunk play after chunk play throughout the day. Cutback lanes were present, and he had no hesitation hitting the hole.
