Tyrod Taylor keeps proving his value to Giants
Observations from Giants practice on Friday.
Quality depth
No matter what the tempo is for the day — Friday was scaled down — backup QB Tyrod Taylor continues to move fluidly and throw accurately. He puts the ball where it needs to go and it is apparent the young receivers working with him benefit from his accuracy.
Sure-lock Holmes?
This was a carded practice and so the 11 on 11 work was not a competitive situation. Darnay Holmes continues to take snaps as the punt returner and looks comfortable in that role. But can he handle the extra workload? He is expected to be the starting slot cornerback on defense.
Caught my eye
DL Leonard Williams was again kept out of practice and will not play in Sunday’s preseason game. That does not mean Williams was idle. As his teammates worked in the hot sun, Williams jogged several laps around the entire field, keeping himself in shape.
Medical report
WR Kenny Golladay spent some time getting stretched out by trainers before returning to practice. WR Kadarius Toney continues to run well on the side as he makes his recovery from an undisclosed ailment. WR Sterling Shepard is making progress coming off a torn Achilles tendon and runs and cuts on the side seemingly at full speed.
