Love noted the solitary interception of the practice, capitalizing on a pass that went through the hands of the recipient. As you may have heard now (several times), the Giants train all their players in various positions, especially in the continuation. Love is a player who can be used in various ways in a defensive backfield in search of players to perform after Sam Beal finished him off for the season and DeAndre Baker was placed on the Commissioner’s Release List.
“If you look at this system of defense, you will see that the parts are really interchangeable in the secondary,” said defensive back coach Jerome Henderson. “You’ll have safetys that sometimes run down and play corners. You’ll have corners that sometimes move back to play safety. We ask all those guys to be versatile. We ask them to learn multiple positions.
“That gives us flexibility, because I always tell them that one week, especially if you have COVID in the mix and what could happen there, you may have been completely on the corner of camp and the next thing you know. , we have an injury, another guy is out because of COVID, the next thing you know, you’ve switched midweek positions and we’re playing in a few days. We’re trying to get guys kind of cross-trained and ready for when that happens when it happens. We ask them to learn cross-train and learn multiple spots. “
Sills made the catch of the day on a walk-off touchdown pass from Colt McCoy to end the practice. He hit his man on the left sideline when McCoy hit him perfectly in stride on the deep pass. Daniel Jones also previously joined Sills in practice during 1-on-1 drills, as the former All-American from West Virginia has put on a strong show since the camp on the Reserve / COVID-19 list . Along with fellow pro-year-old pro Alex Bachman and rookie-free agents Derrick Dillon, Binjimen Victor, Austin Mack, and Tony Brown, Sills competes for reps in the pecking order.
“They’re doing a really good job,” Judge said. “One thing is, you look over the meeting room, those guys right there, those young recipients, they have wide eyes and they keep the whole meeting hanging on you everywhere I move. They’re in the mood and taking good notes. “
Yesterday, veteran Golden Tate praised the young players for taking what they learned in the meeting room and translating it to the field.
“These young guys didn’t get OTAs and the off-season work, we only had Zoom,” he said. “For those guys to earn all that stuff and actually go out and perform on the field, I’m under the impression. In my opinion, this is a very good class of young receivers coming in that I’m excited about help to grow. To help them help the team and we will take it from there. We take it day by day, working on our tools to get better. “
RB Saquon Barkley could make this list every day, but he was especially active today, especially as a receiver. His best catch came in traffic in a period of lightning and he looks just as natural from wherever he lines up. … McCoy thread the needle at a pace during 7-on-7 drilling Mack, who had caught a few that day. … CB Grant Haley had almost a rash, but could not quite hang on to the ball when he rolled on his back. … CB James Bradberry forced an imperfection with tight coverage on a deep pass below the sideline. … Rookie CB Darnay Holmes had another pass breakup. … Bachman had a few catches, which he seems to do on a daily basis. … TE Rysen John made an excellent catch on a ball from McCoy.
