Today's Wrap-Up

     Today was a pretty uneventful day in Giants Camp, although there were some pretty awesome plays that were made, which can be seen here. But there were a few interesting things that occured.

     Terrell Thomas spoke with the media today about his injured ACL and and a timetable for his return. He says that there was no pain or loss in strength when he aggravated the ACL, which is extremely weird for an injury like this. Also, when asked about a timetable for his return, mention that it should take between 3-8 weeks, adding "An ACL is either working or it’s not. Mines working… Thank God it’s working." That media session can be seen here.

     Running back coach Jerald Ingram and Tight End coach Mike Pope also spoke with the media. Jerald Ingram talked about the rookie running back David Wilson's progress, along with Andre Brown and Da'Rel Scott's chances at becoming the backup running back. "We want to make sure that he [Wilson] is secure with the ball, he's protecting the quarterback. We'll find the right plays where we can utilize his speed," Ingram said. "If he's not ready ... we'll do some other things to find out what he can do and not worry about what he can't do. He is going to be an integral part of what we do this year, somehow, someway." The Giants are looking forward to seeing Andre Brown's work in the preseason, where they'll be able to gauge how far he has come in the offense. Ingram expressed some concern towards Da'Rel Scotts inability to protect the quarterback, but he's dealing with an injury that has kept him sidelined for some camp time. "He hasn't been on the field an awful lot. We haven't played him in a game. Hopefully, we can get him in the game and see what he can do. I want, and we want to see an every-down kind of guy who has some size, who has some quickness, who has some finish speed, who can catch the ball out of the backfield, but can he be a continuous playmaker? Can he take care of our quarterback? That's what we want to see out of him."

     Mike Pope spoke about Martellus Bennett's progress in camp. Pope likes his blocking ability and believes that Bennett could become a great addition to the Giant's offense. "He made a lot of plays for [Dallas], he's a good blocker. He's a huge, big, powerful man and they did use him in more secondary pass games roles," Pope said. "He did catch some screens and do some things like that, but he didn't play a tremendous numbers of snaps for them. ... Bennett has the opportunity to not be somebody's younger brother and he can move into that tight end role." The only thing that's slowing him down is the transfer of play calling verbiage from Dallas to New York. Pope also spoke about how Bear Pascoe could become another Jake Ballard. "A year ago at this time we didn't know any more about Jake Ballard than we really know about Bear Pascoe in that role right now. If Bear can do what Jake was able to do and be a good player at the point of attack and be someone that the quarterback can trust and have chemistry with, then anything can happen." Fourth-Round pick Adrian Robinson hasn't been able to make as much progress as he would have liked due to his late graduation date at Cincinnati, so hopefully he'll be able to get into the swing of things as the Giants finish their last practice before their first preseason game Friday night against Jacksonville.

That's about all I have for now! Have a great night, and come back here tomorrow morning for more news about the New York Giants!
