Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Every rep counts for the Ole Miss rookie, who is preparing to make his NFL debut in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Bills. To get a better handle on how the Giants are developing the first-round pick, Dan Duggan focused on Dart throughout Wednesday’s practice.
“And at the end of the day, you got to make plays,” Wilson said. “I’ve been fortunate to be able to make plays for a long time, and it’s on film. A lot of it is just: You study it, you learn it and grow and keep getting better. And you ignore the noise and you keep your head down and keep working. I also work on it, too. I think the last piece of it is that I think my mental aptitude is definitely very strong.”
Dane Belton, S. Mr. Takeaway needs to prove he can be Mr. Reliable. Because make no mistake, when Belton is around the football, he has a knack for making a big play. He has to convince the coaching staff that he’s not just a swing-for-the-fences player and can exist in three-safety sets.
According to the Bills’ website, the award for the most consistent player through the start of training camp has been the offensive line. That should set us up with a great matchup on Saturday, as the hype around the Giants’ defensive front has been building for months. While we may not get to see all of the starters among the two groups this Saturday, one player we do know will be taking the field is rookie outside linebacker and No. 3 overall pick Abdul Carter.
“I’m excited for sure,” Carter said. “Definitely a good opportunity for me to get my routine down, like coming into a football game. My last game was, shoot, six months ago, something like that. So, it’s cool to come out here, get a routine down, play football again. I’m excited…That’s going to be fun, just playing in the preseason and get to take guys to the ground, actually sack the quarterback. So, I look forward to that.”
