New York Giants Practice Change
On the next Locked On Giants podcast: a look at practice changes, observations and more.
Transcript
00:00 One of the big differences or changes that Dable has made is in the practice schedule.
00:05 So last year or what teams can do is they have a five-day acclimation period.
00:12 So a lot of teams will practice four days have a day off,
00:16 come back practice one more day and then boom you're in pads.
00:19 Dable this year is doing three on one off.
00:25 So you've got practice this week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, off Saturday, back Sunday,
00:32 Monday and then pads on Tuesday.
00:35 So and then they have a day off. So he changed it up just a little bit.
00:39 Now I ultimately want to ask about that.
00:43 I wanted to find out what went into that change because it is noticeable and it's significant.
00:48 I suspect it's to help keep the players fresh
00:52 because look you don't want to you know, you want to get them enough work during the year or during the summer
00:58 I should say but you don't want to wear them down and you know
01:01 What's also kind of interesting I thought in thinking about it is is the practice schedule right now for training camp
01:09 kind of mirrors
01:11 What you would see during the regular season so in the regular season just so you know
01:16 Obviously they play a game on a Sunday
01:19 Monday is kind of a walkthrough cleanup type deal, you know, like a corrections practice. It's kind of a walkthrough
01:25 Tuesday is a day off then you practice Wednesday Thursday Friday
01:30 Saturday's a walkthrough
01:33 Sunday's the game
01:34 So the practice schedule that Brian Dable has set up really mirrors
01:39 what you do during a regular season and I
01:42 Wonder if that was you know
01:43 If that was part of the factor and I do want to ask him about it because I am curious
01:49 Again, I wasn't able to ask today because there were so many reporters there, you know
01:53 Expecting to hear from Saquon who by the way is going to talk tomorrow and on on Thursday's practice
01:59 so I
02:01 Want to find out I'm curious, you know to see especially
02:05 Given how the Giants have had issues with injuries and whatnot. So that is definitely on the agenda for me
