#Joe Judge finally gets full Giants team on the field

#Joe Judge finally gets full Giants team on the field

It’s getting to look somewhat like … football.

On Wednesday, new Giants head coach Joe Judge witnessed something for the first time: all 80 players on the field, at the same time, actually wearing helmets.

This development — Phase 2 in the gradual ramp-up during the summer of a global pandemic — was as close to the real thing as Judge has mustered in training camp. The offense and defense were split up during practice, but at least the entire team was on the grass fields, together at last.

On Friday, Phase 3 kicks in, as players will wear protective shells. On Monday, full pads are allowed for the first time.

“I’ve been coaching football every day here,’’ Judge said. “Listen, if you like football, you truly love being on the field with the players. That’s the most fun part. Being on the field with the players, interacting, getting to coach, getting to feel their energy on the field, that’s what’s fun. Getting them moving, until the end of practice with conditioning, it was just a great opportunity to be out there with the guys. They get a feel for us, we get a feel for them. You’re out there coaching. They love football, we love football. Meetings are necessary to make sure we know what to do on the field, but practice is what the day is all about.”

At some point, Judge is going to have to see his team hit one another, as there are no preseason games this summer. That point comes Aug. 21, when the Giants will have the first of what will be weekly intrasquad scrimmages.

“Look, for everyone kind of familiar with football, that will look a whole lot like every high school and college scrimmage in America,’’ Judge said. “Offense on one sideline, defense on the other. We’ll create situations on the field and let them play live football all the way through.

“We have to get an opportunity to let our guys play at full speed. Let them go out there and experience the game and demonstrate they can operate when coaches aren’t yelling in their ears and trying to make corrections. We just have to get them out there and let them play.”


Safety Jabrill Peppers said “it definitely sucked’’ to miss the final five games of his first season with the Giants, but he is fully healed and participating in camp. Peppers, 24, went down with a transverse process injury, suffering a fracture in his back Nov. 24 in Chicago on his only kickoff return of the season.

“It was a great process, I learned a lot through it,’’ Peppers said of his rehab. “I’m healthy now, it’s a new year. I’m just excited to be out there with the guys.’’


The Giants added a cornerback, bringing in Prince Smith, an undrafted rookie from New Hampshire who was signed by the Eagles in late April and waived last week.
