The New York Giants enter training camp with several position battles set to commence. In Fireside Giants episode 32, Alex and Anthony dive into these position battles and what to expect from them in the coming weeks.
In this episode, we cover the centers, right tackles, nickel corner, the number two corner spot on the outside, and the number four wide receiver spot.
The Giants have plenty of youth players competing for starting reps, as well as second-year athletes like Julian Love.
We also take a look at the COVID-19 protocols and how they could affect the development of some of the younger players. With the preseason being axed, there are practice squad players and draft picks that will lose out on essential game experience. We all know the stories of Victor Cruz and how undrafted free agents can often bubble to the surface. That reality will have to be pushed to 2021, as without the preseason games, they will be at a disadvantage to make the roster.
With sports finally entering the frame, the COVID-19 pandemic is finally taking its pedal off the metal. Some states are still struggling to contain the virus, the sports leagues and commissioners have found a way to operate.
Training camp will be accompanied by a frequent testing of the players.
