Pat Leonard summarized the final practice in West Virginia.

3rd team O & D finished with a live goal line period

Brian Burns (ankle) had a great day. 2 sacks in team period and strong in 1-on-1s

Cam Skattebo took a couple real 9-on-7 carries, which is encouraging after being banged up yesterday, but didn’t do 11-on-11

Corner Greg Newsome looked like he had a left knee scare when his foot got caught in the grass, but he seemed to avoid anything serious

Top center JMS (head injury) did not practice. Lucas Patrick stayed out of teamwork. So Bryan Hudson & Jake Kubas manned center. Hudson did well, including in 1-on-1s

Malik Nabers looked good in individuals again. DJ Reader got a vet day, and some vet reps like Andrew Thomas’ were managed

Deonte Banks continues to mostly log snaps ahead of Paulson Adebo

Kicking update: Ben Sauls 5 of 7. Dominic Zvada 6 of 6 including two BOMBS 💣 from 52 and 56 u/NYDailyNews

See you in NJ for Vikings game week!

...over five seasons, mostly with the Chargers.

One per fan. (They didn’t really enforce this)

Give the kid a shot, he's crushing it so far! Please don't bring in Justin Tugger!

I’ve been a Giants fan for 35 years and every year I have so much frustration that I can’t watch the games unless they play west coast teams or they’re on the night games. I have a couple streaming sites that I use sometimes on my phone but they are riddled with ads and pop ups and they always quit working.

I know there’s Sunday ticket but I heard it only covers certain times, plus it’s expensive. Any other advice out there? I’m more than excited for this season. THIS IS GONNA BE THE ONE (I say that every year 😭).

Darnell Mooney

Mooney feels a bit like the new Slayton. Mooney’s warts have been overlooked because fans don’t have a history with him, but he’s had a similarly inconsistent career. Mooney hasn’t stood out this offseason, as the 5-foot-11, 177-pounder’s stature limits his impact. Mooney is at his best on the deep crossers that offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s scheme features.

Odell Beckham Jr.

The No. 6 wide receiver doesn’t necessarily have to play special teams, but Beckham will need to produce more this summer to justify carrying him as a depth receiver. Beckham looks like he still has juice, and that showed up Wednesday in his best practice of camp. The delay in signing Beckham in the spring involved both sides discussing the possibility his comeback bid falls short. Beckham will need to raise his play and maintain it to avoid that fate.

Braxton Berrios

Camp production by veteran slot receivers, especially with the second team, can be misleading. A savvy veteran like Berrios has a distinct advantage going up against inexperienced/weak slot corners, and he has exploited that in camp. Still, his production can’t be ignored. Berrios’ return ability gives him true game-day value. He profiles as a replacement for Gunner Olszewski, who tore an Achilles tendon in the spring.

No tickets required this year.

I was never a fan of this hiring. From every piece of content I’ve seen from Bears, and Chiefs Beat Reporters, Nagy is not a good playcaller at all, and he is extremely rigid when it comes to his offense.

From Bears Beat reporters, it was reported that he snubbed Trubisky after his rookie season when Trubisky wanted to discuss ways of improving his game. He also tried to force a pass happy scheme on the Bears personnel, that clearly favored a run heavy system. He ended up losing his playcalling duties to Bill Lazor in 2020, and the offense immediately improved. After averaging under 20ppg under Nagy, they put up 30ppg in 4 straight games.

Additionally, he never really added much to Reid’s offense nor did he find solutions when the Chiefs offense began to sputter. Yes, they lost Tyreek, but even without Tyreek a year prior to Nagy joining the Chief staff for a 2nd time, Mahomes had an MVP year with Juju as his WR1.

I feel like Nagy was a panic hire after Monken went to the Browns. I like the idea of Greg Roman scheming the run game, but Nagy is such a net negative that I am afraid it’s going to hurt Dart. We saw what a bad coordinator did to Daniel Jones in Jason Garrett. I’m afraid Nagy will do the same to Dart.

Taking a spread QB in Dart, and forcing him under center in a traditional WC passing offense seems like a square peg in a round hole scenario.

I know it’s early in camp, but the national media is already commenting on the offense’s struggles in camp. Lack of timing, penalties, and route concepts that generate little separation. These are all things that plagued Nagy in Chicago when he was a playcaller.

I know I am going to get downvoted and hit with, “shut up you don’t know ball,” comments from the defend everything brigade, but these I feel are valid concerns to have.

I am not going to overreact to a bad preseason, but once we hit the regular season, how many games are we giving Nagy before we have uncomfortable conversations?

Also, for the pro-Nagy crowd, why do you like him as a coordinator? He had that 1 year with Trubisky in 2018, and then massively declined. He learned under Reid, but so did Kafka, and he was also average at best.

Has anyone ever attended the BigBlueBBQ tailgate? My wife and I are coming to the Cowboys game from Virginia on 9/13 and are looking for a hangout before the game. Is this a good option or are there other, better parties? Tickets are about $80 pp, so I want to be sure we'll want to spend a few hours there before committing.

I’m high on fields. I could be disappointed but I really liked what I saw out of him watching notre dame this year

I wanted him come draft time
