Mishaps & Miscues
Third year wide-out,
Jerrel Jernigan,
had himself a poor practice. In punting drills he dropped two punts. He also had another drop or two during full team drills. At this point it looks like Jernigan has an uphill climb at making the 53-man roster.

Thought & Observations

On the topic of tight ends,
Adrien Robinson
, looked to run a wrong route at one point and received an earful from
Kevin Gilbride
. In the two practices I saw, Robinson didn’t look good at all.

Now, we get to the most disturbing part of practice, at least to me, redzone drills. The first team offense started and the series went like this: incompletion, toss play that would have gone for a couple of yards, and short completion to Nicks. In a live game the Giants would have had to settle for a field goal. Obviously, they practice exactly how they play in games.

Throughout the day the offense seemed to have the defenses’ number. The pass coverage was especially disappointing, although it is hard to judge when they aren’t hitting. The redzone is still a major issue for the offense. However, I did think the Giants seemed to practice with a bit more purpose than they did on Friday.
