Blue Liar. Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

I joined as well as my co-host Nick Falado. Today he's coming to you from it looks like either his iPhone camera or his other camera on his desktop.

My camera's all screwed up. I don't know what it is. I tried to fix it before

this podcast and wipe it down, but nothing seems to be working. So we'll have to figure that

one out another time because cameras don't stop for the news. And the Giants had their first

training camp padded practice today, Tuesday night, Tuesday evening practice 5 p.m.

We didn't cover this practice or the last one, but we did follow along the action. So where do you want to start, Nick, anything you took away from these last two practices? I think we should just start with the injury report. And it wasn't anything pertinent other than the J.C. Hassan hour one. J.C. Hassan hour, we discussed, look, I don't think it was an ideal situation to have him make the team,

but with the rookie center, you probably want a veteran center in place. And the Giants recently went out and they signed Sean Harlow, who was on the Arizona Cardinals last year. I've played guard. I've played center still. Ideally, I don't think the Giants want him to win a roster spot. I think they want Ben Bredeson to be that backup center if Josh Azudu ends up securing a left guard spot.

We'll get into the offensive line stuff,

but J.C. Hassanauer has a trice. I think they want Ben Bredison to be that backup center if Josh Azudu ends up securing a left

guard spot. We'll get into the offensive line stuff, but J.C. Hassanauer has a tricep injury. He's done for the year right now. And then we have similar people who were on the pup. Rumors, they might come off soon, like Marcus McKethin and A. Sean Robinson, hopefully, but still DJ Davidson, Aaron Robinson, and Wondell Robinson are also on the physically unable to perform list.

And also Sterling Shepherdepard, Jihad Ward, and Ryan Jones did not practice as well on Monday. Yeah, they missed Monday's practice. And you're hoping to get both Aaron Robinson and Wondell Robinson back in the mix sooner than later to kind of see where they're at and where they shake out in the dev chart. Ajan Robinson, I feel like his spot is kind of secured. McKethon's an interesting one just because you've seen so many different offensive line variations throughout training camp. They've really mixed it up, which I think was interesting. We saw a different variation in Monday's practice and a different variation in Tuesday's practice with the first and second team offensive lines. This has been pretty fluent throughout camp. According to Tej B FB at football

analytics, Tej Seth on Twitter, he said one of the most impressive things about Daible and the

Giants in 2022 was that they had the league most 20 different offensive line combinations,

play at least five snaps last season,

and no combination played more than 40 snaps together,

and they still ranked top 10 in EPA per play and won a playoff game.

And I think it's interesting to note that they did have those 20 different

offensive line combinations in 2022.

No one really played together that much.

40% of the snaps is the tops there. And we're seeing something similar already so far in camp with Brian Daebel kind of mixing and matching along the offensive line. They've been mixing a match and since they got here, Dan. And we applaud Brian Daable, rightfully so, because he also picked Bobby Johnson. I think Bobby Johnson deserves much of the credit here. It's something that we saw at the end of the season last year against Indianapolis

Colts.
