Good Morning, New York Giants Fans!
The start of training camp for the Giants didn’t go exactly as expected. Sterling Shepard fracturing his thumb surely won’t help in the development of the offense and his implementation, but he should be cleared prior to the start of the regular season.
Both Eli Manning and Daniel Jones looked shaky at times, but the rookie enjoyed some stellar throws, one of which was dropped in the endzone by Bennie Fowler. Manning looked in-shape and active despite throwing an ugly interception to Lorenzo Carter who made an athletic play on a screen to Saquon Barkley. This was a mistake a 16-year veteran cannot be making, simple as that.
Take a look for yourself below:

Overall, for the first day of training camp, there was some good plays and some very bad ones, just as expected. Moving forward, I expect to see both sides of the ball tighten up and progress steadily as the offseason moves along. Pre-season is only a few weeks away, so the team needs to come together quickly — luckily, a fair bunch have already played together for one season and the rookies are picking things up quickly.
One thing I was happy to see was the offensive line. The unit was built exactly as anticipated.

This grouping should be far more effective for the Giants in 2019.
