The Giants were back in New Jersey for their eleventh training camp practice on Monday. They were in pads under sunny skies with temperatures touching 90 degrees, though for some reason it felt cooler than the 80 degree days in West Virginia.

* The Giants worked a 9 on 7 period early in practice. Shaun O'Hara watched the period, and he told me that he thought the offensive line was very sound in their assignments and held their own.

* The defense made some plays early in practice. Paulson Adebo was very active, knocking a pass away from a tight end. He had tight coverage on another pass later in practice to prevent a completion and he also grabbed an interception on a pass towards the right sideline, getting in front of the wide receiver.

* Elijah Camobell and David Long Jr. combined for tight coverage on a deep pass on an out-breaking route to the left sideline to prevent the completion. Korie Black had a pass break-up during team drills, and Nic Jones made a diving deflection during 7-on-7's.

* Despite his 5'8 frame, Ar'Darius Washington went airborne to deflect a pass in the air at the line of scrimmage that fell into the hands of Darius Alexander, who ran it back the other way for a potential score. Whether on interceptions or batted passes, Alexander has gotten his hands on a lot of footballs for a defensive tackle since camp began.

* On a play action bootleg, Jaxson Dart hit a receiver for a short completion that turned into a potential long gain thanks to Chris Manhertz getting out in front to block downfield. Thomas Fidone caught a pass over the middle from Jameis Winston, leaping high in the air to come down with it right near defenders, showing off his athleticism.

* Art Green, Anfernee Orgi, and Micah  McFadden were all in good position on different plays for run stops.

* The offenses did a "move the ball" period early in practice resulting in made field goals from about 40 yards for both Ben Sauls and Dominic Zvada. Both kickers went 5 for 5 on field goals during the team period, with two kicks for both kickers coming from 50+ yards away.

* In OL/DL 1-on-1's, Brian Burns started things off with a nasty inside spin move for a quick pressure. Sisi Mauigoa and Darius Alexander had a good back and forth in their two reps against each other. Arvell Reese popped back into pass rush drills and showed off his burst and bend, winning around the edge with speed. Josh Ezeudu got some reps at guard and stymied the defender trying to get past him. Kayvon Thibodeaux continues to be tough to block both inside and outside.

* In a heavy pass team period towards the end of practice, Theo Johnson made a tough leaping catch on the right sideline, getting his feet in for the first down. On the next play Dart went sidearm to complete a screen to Johnson underneath the leaping Brian Burns. Trace Ford and Zacch Pickens had run stops. Jameis Winston squeezed in a pass over the middle through traffic to Tanner Conner. On a blitz, Brandon Allen lobbed a pass right over the players pressuring on the left side right to Damon Bankston who had a long way to run with no defenders in the area down the sideline.

* In the final move the ball period, Jaxson Dart had a quick strike with the first team offense, connecting with Darius Slayton on a pass that went at least thirty yards in the air after what looked like a double move by Slayton. He caught it and ran all the way for a touchdown that easily spanned 50+ yards.

* Tomorrow, practice will be in shells as the team begins rotating in and out of pads in preparation for preseason games.
