The promising news for the Giants is that linebacker Lorenzo Carter resembled Lawrence Taylor in the first half of Friday night’s Blue-White scrimmage at MetLife Stadium. The discouraging flip side was that rookie Andrew Thomas and the offensive line played a part in making Carter look that dominant in a shaky initial game-situation performance by …

Daniel Jones should consider yelling “Surprise!” after the next pass he fires to the sideline into tight coverage. Jones spent most of his rookie season with the Giants forcing a rewrite of the many pre-draft scouting reports questioning the arm strength he showed at Duke. And he continues to turn heads even as he learns …

By the time T.J. Brunson lowered the boom, the Giants defense already had sent a message worthy of an exclamation point. Widely perceived as the inferior side of the ball for the Giants, the defense held Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley and a dangerous receiving corps in check for most of Friday’s intrasquad scrimmage. It is …

Highlights from Wednesday’s Giants practice: Good Two practices without a kicker was enough. Newly signed ex-Panther Graham Gano, 33, was on the field after missing last season due to injury. “He’s a big-leg guy,” coach Joe Judge said. “With any specialist, you really see their best ball as they get to their 30s.” Bad No …

There was no one anywhere near Darius Slayton when he sat down for his Zoom call on Wednesday … and he kept his mask on anyway. “Honestly at this point, we wear it every day — it’s habit,” Slayton said. “I just wear it all the way around ’cause we have to wear it in …

For all the respect and admiration heaped on Eli Manning, many of the younger players on offense, especially the wide receivers and running backs, gravitated last season to the newcomer, Daniel Jones, who was quickly accepted as one of their own. This made sense. Manning, more than 15 years older than several teammates, in many …

There is no Eli Manning now in front of him on the depth chart, no Eli Manning in the quarterback room, no Eli Manning in the socially distanced locker room, no awkward Eli Manning questions for Daniel Jones to answer. But because icons leave giant footsteps to fill when they retire, there will be Eli …

A second-year quarterback entering his first season as the Day 1 starter. A brand new offense to learn. A brand new head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to get to know. No on-field work as a team in the spring. A slow ramp-up of practice time in the summer. The most restrictive training camp …

Joe Judge is A Man With A Plan. A Plandemic, as it were. He brings to his first NFL head coaching job a precocious Belichickian unflappability, thoroughness and leadership that requires a plan for the possibility of him testing positive, for Daniel Jones testing positive, for Saquon Barkley testing positive, for Next Man Up anywhere …

Daniel Jones and the Giants hope bigger is better. No one knows for sure when Jones will actually step onto the field for a training camp practice. At the earliest, it will be the very end of July, perhaps later than that if the coronavirus continues to intrude and disrupt. Whenever Jones finally gets going …
