Thank you GR! Hey did you get back to me on Who You Think From The Draft process is going to get off to an unusually fast start...
I went through Giants.com recap not the video but here are their comments and my riffs--
First off the scoring process Weird.-
The scoring for the offense was basic: 6 points for a touchdown, 3 points for a field goal, 1 point for an extra point, 2 points for a two-point conversion, 6 points for a return touchdown.
The scoring for the defense was creative: 12 points for a defensive touchdown, 3 points for a three-and-out, 3 points for a takeaway, 2 points for a turnover on downs, 1 point for a forced punt, 2 points for a two-point conversion stop, 12 points for a field goal block return for a touchdown.
Could you believe if the NFL went to this format!
GOOD NEWS! * Sixth-round draft pick Cameron Brown was excellent on special teams throughout the scrimmage and started with a solo tackle on Corey Coleman near the sideline on the opening kickoff.
Phew! OK special teams it will be.
GOOD NEWS! * Lorenzo Carter lived in the offense's backfield. On the first play from scrimmage, Carter tried a speed rush outside and was pushed around the quarterback by rookie Andrew Thomas. Carter was not credited for a sack, though Dexter Lawrence knocked down Daniel Jones' pass at the line of scrimmage.
PERPLEXING LACK OF PRODUCTION LAST YEAR* Veteran Dion Lewis showed the versatility and burst to be an offensive weapon. He created separation against a linebacker and found space on running plays early in the game. He also made a defender miss in space on a short catch and ran for a first down. Lewis could be a big weapon in the passing game on third downs. Would love Dion to be a weapon this year.
Shhhhh We Have a darn good back up QB* After Lewis helped the Colt McCoy-led second team offense get downfield, Wayne Gallman finished a drive with a 42-yard touchdown. On 3rd-and-1, Gallman ran untouched behind rookies Matt Peart and Shane Lemieux for the score.<-YES! Pearl & Lemieux for President!
LW-- The Giants have been working on that one step more I was talking about. They are using upper body strength as the new weapon by increasing that and his push. The thought is he will reach the QB now.
* On the next play, Leonard Williams got into the backfield to force a 1-yard loss. Jones converted a 2nd-and-11 with an accurate pass to C.J. Board. Then, Carter beat the tight end around the edge to sack Jones. After two more snaps, Graham Gano finished the drive with a 47-yard field goal shortly after it began raining.
This Graham Gano is money!
* Colt McCoy completed two passes to Alex Bachman and David Sills for a first down on the next drive, but Kyler Fackrell stopped a pass play for a loss of six yards. Tae Crowder broke up a short pass over the middle to Lewis to force a third-and-long and an eventual punt.
* On the next drive, Gallman ran for a first down. On 3rd-and-3, Jabrill Peppers forced an incompletion with close coverage on the tight end.
* Saquon Barkley had his biggest play of the night on the next drive, catching a pass and using his quickness to get past the first-down marker. Joe Judge initiated a challenge, contending Barkley stepped out of bounds, but the ruling on the field remained. Judge said he wanted to work on all the mechanics of every situation in the game, including a coach's challenge.
* Jones tried a throw downfield to start the next drive, but James Bradberry was step for step in perfect coverage. On third-and-3, Darnay Holmes got his hand on a pass to force a punt.
* A Markus Golden sack and Grant Haley pass break-up foiled the next drive and forced a three-and-out to give the defense three points. The subsequent punt was muffed, but the receiving team maintained possession when it was recovered by Austin Mack.
* A completion to Sterling Shepard gave the offense a 2nd-and-5 at the 2-minute warning. On the next play, however, Carter won outside and knocked the ball out of the quarterback's hand. On 3rd-and-14, the pass rush collapsed the pocket and Leonard Williams was credited with the sack.
* McCoy drove the offense down on their final drive of the half. The biggest play of the drive was a back-shoulder throw to Corey Coleman for 23 yards. Gano capped the possession with a 40-yard field goal to pull the offense closer at 15-13.
* Javon Leake showed his explosiveness, returning the second-half kickoff to the 34-yard line. Later in the third, Leake had a big gain on an outside run.<___ AND WAS CUT!!!!!
* The offense did not score again until their final drive, receiving the ball at their own 8, trailing by two with 3:10 left. The defense forced the offense into a 4th-and-10 after Christian Angulo knocked away a deep pass. Carter Coughlin sacked Alex Tanney on an inside rush that could have ended the game, but a defensive holding penalty extended the drive, which gave Joe Judge's offense another chance to execute a 2-minute drill.
* Tanney took advantage of the second life with consecutive first-down passes to Bachman. The offense used their last timeout with the ball on the defense's 46 with 45 seconds to play. Tanney hit Coleman with a perfect strike for 23 yards to put Gano in field goal range. After an incompletion, Gano connected on his third field goal of the night -- a 41-yard kick to seal a 23-22 win for the offense.
WHY IS TANNEY STILL AROUND....
