3 biggest NY Giants takeaways from Day 2 of training camp
By Reese Nasser
2. The offense is experimenting
The 2021 Giants offense was one of the worst in recent NFL history. There weren’t many risks taken and the skills players had were vastly underutilized.
Through these two days of training camp, the offense already looks to be trying new things.
Giants instituted film restrictions on team periods, so this was the most interesting footage I got today: Wan’Dale Robinson and Kadarius Toney lining up as RBs and taking handoffs in individual periods pic.twitter.com/qaPRMCM85L

Both Wan’Dale Robinson and Kadarius Toney took snaps out of the backfield. Both of them were utilized as runners out of the backfield while in college and the Giants could look to do that in the NFL.
In Toney’s four seasons at Florida, he recorded 66 rushing attempts. He totaled 580 rushing yards and two touchdowns, all while averaging 8.8 yards per carry. Last season, he recorded just three rushing attempts. This new offense could be looking to change that.
Robinson could look to be a secret weapon on this offense. As noted, he has already played well in both of these sessions. His ability as a runner could make him an essential piece.
Brian Daboll says #Giants will continue to move WR Wan’Dale Robinson around, calls him a “smart instinctive player” but reminds everyone “This is his first training camp, don’t get too high, don’t get too low, just try to string them together… he’s earning our trust day by day.”
