Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Giants players should expect Camp HARDbaugh in the summer from John Harbaugh, because this is the only way a successful head coach who inherits a Losing Syndrome knows how to transform the mentality of the team.
Harbaugh’s first Giants training camp, beginning July 29 at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, will serve to reinforce the rapid strides in transforming the Giants mentality that he has already made.
Andrew Thomas’ response came with a chuckle.
The mere suggestion that New York Giants quarterback and teammate Jaxson Dart could come back for his second season in the NFL with more confidence than he showed as a rookie is laughable.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t say confidence has changed,” Thomas said earlier this spring with a wry smile. “Jaxson has always had that moxie, that confidence, the way he plays. But I will say I think he’s doing a better job of just communicating with everybody as far as what he sees, the way he wants us to block certain things or routes, different coverages and picking up pressures.
RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. Quick! Name the three Giants to record at least 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each of their first two NFL seasons. Saquon Barkley, yes. Odell Beckham Jr., yes. The third? That’s right: Tyrone Tracy Jr. He watched Cam Skattebo take over the lead role in the backfield last year before Skattebo got hurt, and then Tracy came back and showed his talent as a runner and a pass catcher. He had 269 yards from scrimmage in a two-game span when the Giants played the Packers and the Lions tough, and he finished the year with a 159-yard day against the Cowboys. Mostly a wide receiver in college, Tracy is continuing to improve as a runner. He’ll get to show that, especially if Skattebo’s recovery from a gruesome leg injury leaks into the season or limits him in general.
New York Giants rookie Malachi Fields has been taking “a ton” of reps with the first-team offense this spring. Fields, a standout performer throughout his collegiate career at Virginia and Notre Dame. could quickly carve out an everyday role in New York’s offense...
