The New York Giants are back to work Monday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center on what's a key date on the summer calendar: the team's first practice in full pads.That means the Giants will be allowed to engage in live contact, making the practices look more like real football. "Well keep them off the ground and stay away from the quarterback," head coach Brian Daboll said regarding the planned tempo of the padded practices. "But you can see the fundamentals that youre teaching. Theyre doing a good job right now of trying to execute it, but when you have the pads on, particularly in the trenches, you get a good feel for some of those guys, their power, ability to anchor, and ability to pa s rush."The return of the padded practices is just one major storyline that will take center stage as the Giants enter the second week of their training camp. Here' Warren Moon Jersey s a look at some others.The Offensive LineEvery year, the defense seems to be ahead of the offense, and with good reason. The offensive linemen can't fully get physical with blocking their defensive counterparts, and thus it often looks like there are more jailbreaks on defense than there would be in reality.That will hopefully change starting Monday. All eyes will be on the revamped offensive line, which should have starting center Jon Feliciano back after he mi sed the last two days due to a heat-related i sue. The Giants have been trying to build up a functional and capable offensive line Derrick Henry Jersey for several years now, only to spring leaks at this all-important position. They are hoping that this latest version consisting of Feliciano, guards Shane Lemieux and Mark Glowinski, and tackles Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal is the right one moving forward and that the unit can stay healthy to build some cohesivene s. Daniel JonesNo, Daniel Jones and the pa sing offense didn't look crisp last week. The offense was also trying to incorporate receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, who had been mi sing in the spring. Daboll admitted that there were a few rough spots on offense with the communication. "You go out there and have 30 snaps of various blitzes, different looks. There are so many different things that happened --like a lot of really good things: hots, breaking off routes," he said of Friday's practice. "Were there some miscommunications? Absolutely. For some of those guys, its the first time in this offense where theyre practicing with Daniel. Its their third practice. So, were kind of day-by-day. Get better each day, have a positive mindset and correct the things youve got to correct." Scroll to ContinueKayvon Thibodeau vs. Andrew Thomas/Evan NealJust as one can't fully gauge how far the offensive line has come along, the same can be said of the pa s rush. And certainly, there will be a lot of interest in the pa s rush, Kamalei Correa Jersey and in particular rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux, the fifth overall pick in the draft who is excited about finally showing more of what he can do. "There are a lot of things as a pa s rusher, as a defensive guy, you arent able to do without pads," he said. "The offense has the baggy jerseys you can just pull on them. Now itll be more of a fair game. Ill be able to use all the moves Ive been working on."Thibodeaux has primarily been going against tackles Andrew Thomas and fellow rookie Evan Neal so far in camp and has enjoyed the competition. "Oh, its been great," he said. "Me being able to go back and forth. Everyone asks me, What is the difference between now and I mean college and the NFL? Its like, you have to be 100 percent Corey Davis Jersey and have a move every play, there is no getting by. Just going against both of them, and Evan, especially, is good to continue to grow and share info now and again."That competition is about to be turned up a few more notches starting Monday. More New York Giants CoverageThe Blue-White ScrimmageThe Giants will hold their Blue-White scrimmage on Friday night in what will be the closest thing to a football game, as there will be up until that point. While Daboll hasn't yet divulged exactly how he plans to structure the scrimmage, there are other things worth looking for, such as where the coordinators will be stationed (on the field or in the box), how the communication will work, the tempo shown by the offense and the defense, and much more. More importantly, it will be a chance to better understand potential trends and approaches that each side's coaches will deploy in certain situations. But just as important in the grand scheme of things, the scrimmage should offer Austin Johnson Jersey a look at not just the starters but also the depth players trying to separate themselves from the pack in their quest to make the roster. Injury StatusThe Giants got relatively healthy through the first week of training camp, though some of the guys in red medical jerseys in the spring had their workloads adjusted early on. Feliciano and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones were sidelined the last couple of days, Feliciano due to a heat-related i sue and Seals-Jones for an undisclosed reason. The Giants had Sunday off to heal some of the early bumps and bruises, so one might conclude that anyone who had their workload scaled back on Saturday should be fully good to go Monday.
