In what has obviously been the weirdest offseason in recent memory, and maybe ever, the — and all other 31 — are set to dive back into action with Ty Dellandrea Jersey training camp getting underway in just a few days. This year’s camp will be different. For starters, fans will not be permitted and there has still been no clear indication of what the plan is for the media covering the team. Making matters more complicated is the fact that the Giants continued their roster’s youth movement this past offseason (shedding bad contracts in the proce s) and will enter camp with a brand new offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and head coach, along with multiple new position coaches.The Giants don’t have a lot of time to get up to speed before the start of the 2020 regular season (which remains on schedule), so it’s wise to a sume veterans will have the upper hand when it comes to locking down starting spots and roster spots. Having said that, the addition of a brand new system on both sides of the ball provides a more even playing field. Like any roster that experienced an offseason roster overhaul — specifically a roster that struggled in almost every area on both sides of the ball last season — several positions are up for grabs heading into 2020.These position battles will be decided in training camp and the importance of camp is heightened with the skipping the 2020 preseason. Without further ado, today we’ll break down the five most heated training camp battles you’ll want to be aware of and keep an eye on when the Giants hit the practice field.1. vs. vs. If you’d like, you can add name to the mix, but the former starting center is a terrible fit for the new offense, his old jersey number has already been given away, and he is recovering from a major injury he suffered late in 2019 that required surgery. We’re leaving Halapio off the list and that brings us down to two incumbent Giants and a rookie who has never taken a snap at center at any stage of his career. In a COVID-19-truncated offseason, the easy pick to win this job is Pulley — Gates has limited experience at center (limited to the practice field) and Lemieux has even le s experience. But there’s a major i sue in projecting Pulley as the starter. Upon extensive review of the All-22 coaches film, Pulley was a major liability for the Giants in just about every start he made in 2019. More specifically, Pulley’s play strength was suspect at best — he was consistently overwhelmed at the point of attack. This i sue is NHL Dallas Stars Kids Jersey only going to amplify as the Giants scrap Pat Shurmur and Hal Hunter’s zone-heavy (almost exclusively inside zone) blocking scheme for a power/gap scheme under new coordinator Jason Garrett and offensive line coach Marc Colombo. It’s going to be an uphill battle for both Gates (who is more of a lengthy technician and has question marks when it comes to play strength at the point of attack) and Lemieux due to their lack of experience at center. The center is responsible for adjusting offensive line protections before the snap in lockstep with quarterback . However, it’s not impo sible to Antoine Roussel Jersey suggest either could win the job entering Week 1, given how they project in the new blocking scheme vs. Pulley. I bet the Giants mix and match these three linemen with Jones and the first-team offense throughout camp and it will be interesting to see how fast Gates and Lemieux get accustomed to a new position.2. vs. In the modern NFL, the nickel cornerback might be the most underrated position on any defense. Why is that? It’s simple — opposing offensive coordinators understand the most efficient target for their quarterbacks is whichever receiver is lined up in the slot. In most offensive systems, the slot receiver is also the source of the most explosive plays — vertical routes out of the slot have become a staple acro s the NFL. In 2019, the Giants were really, really bad at defending the slot. While it made sense to have Haley in the slot in ex-coordinator James Bettcher’s defense if you just factored in his physicality defending the alley in the run game, that wasn’t going to make up for receivers like burning him on slot vertical routes multiple times only for to overthrow him (see: , Week 4, last season). Things got so dire in the slot last season the Giants tried moving a rookie cornerback who had only played the boundary — and whose skillset only fits the boundary — into the slot when they attempted to move there in the second half. The Ballentine slot experiment was a disaster.Entering training camp, there is some hope. The Giants selected cornerback Darnay Holmes with their first Day 3 pick — a former 5-star recruit who many thought Mattias Janmark Jersey would come off the board on Day 2 at the latest. Some injury-plagued regre sion in 2019 (after a truly dominant 2018 season — and yes I mean that — go watch his tape vs. and J.J. Arceja-Whiteside) and height i sues led to Holmes’ draft slide, but he projects nicely as the nickel. If asked to make one bold prediction on the Giants rookie cla s, mine would be that Holmes wins the starting nickel job out of camp. And remember, in today’s NFL, defenses are in nickel on over two-thirds of their snaps. This is e sentially a starting spot. 3. Nick Gates vs. As the Giants move forward with the power/gap-heavy blocking scheme and a vertically-oriented pa sing game under Garrett and Colombo, it’s going to be even more important for the offense to have steady play at both offensive tackle spots. There will be more vertically-oriented pa sing plays with five and seven-step drops and Jones wasn’t exactly proficient when asked to operate outside of the quick pa sing game as a rookie — in part due to the struggles of tackle starters Nate Solder and in 2019.With the recent news of Nate Solder’s Ty Dellandrea Kids Jersey decision to opt out of the 2020 season, the tackle situation becomes much clearer for New York. No. 4 overall pick Andrew Thomas is now all but a lock to begin working with the first-team offense at left tackle almost immediately at the start of training camp. However, the leaves open a battle for the starting right tackle position.The monkey wrench in all of this is free agent signing Cameron Fleming. After a stint starting on a roster, Fleming made several starts with the and was hand-picked by Garrett and Colombo in free agency. Fleming will compete with Nick Gates, a former undrafted rookie who showed promise at right tackle in 2019, but over a very limited sample size. Don’t be surprised if third-round pick Matt Peart also works his way into the mix. Sure, it’s a steep jump from playing at Connecticut to playing in the NFL, but you can’t teach how smooth he moves in pa s sets. The natural ability is there.4. vs. The Giants have said they felt like they got another first-round pick when projected first-round Xavier McKinney fell to them at the beginning of the second round. It’s likely the Giants would’ve never had a chance to draft McKinney if he didn’t turn in a subpar 40-yard dash at the NF…
