The New York Giants first-team offense, including QB Daniel Jones, struggled to find a rhythm during Tuesday's training camp practice.
It was a rough outing for the New York Giants’ first-team offense on Tuesday. Head coach Brian Daboll, who has been calmer this year, blew his stack at one point with a string of choice words after seeing one too many errors.
There was also an underthrow by Jones to receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who saved the play by making an athletic, sliding play to reel in the ball. Tackle Evan Neal, who has started all 20 games he’s played in during his NFL career, is still on the PUP list with no sign of being remotely close to a return. The feeling around training camp is that even when Neal does return, he most likely won’t be the starter.
It’s worth noting that the Giants offensive line’s free-agent acquisitions can all play multiple positions. That’s great for internal competition and when injuries occur. The problem however, is that the Giants can’t seem to find the right combination. Running backs, namely Jacob Salyors today and Eric Gray yesterday, have also done a solid job in pass protection thus far, a clear point of emphasis this season.
Free agent signings Jermaine Eluemunor and Jon Runyan Jr. both have better skill sets for the work gap scheme. Eluemunor has been with Bricillo often throughout his career. Throughout practice, the Giants' offense ran counter frequently and found success doing it. Second-year running back Eric Gray broke off multiple long runs, which isn’t surprising considering he played in gap-based run offenses in college.
Veteran cornerback Nick McCloud, entering his third year with the Giants, spent time today running with the first-team defense as an outside cornerback. McCloud had a strong day with the aforementioned dropped interception but also had a deep pass that he broke up. Riley also worked with the third-team defense with rookie undrafted free agent Alex Johnson alongside him.
