Giants’ sixth-round pick who suffered a gunshot wound early Sunday in an
incident where his best friend and teammate, Dwane Simmons
White Saquon Barkley Jerseys , was killed, is expected to be at the team’s rookie mini-camp this weekend.Giants’ GM Dave Gettleman broke that news on
Monday during an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio with co-hosts Pat Kirwan and
Jim Miller.Mike Garafolo of NFL Network had previously reported that Ballentine,
a cornerback from Washburn, was struck in the glute. Ian Rapoport reported that
Ballentine’s physical recovery is expected to take just a few weeks.Gettleman
said he spoke with Ballentine on Sunday.“He’s a really bright kid, and he’s a
great kid, he really is. What happened is tragic and unfortunate. I
mean
Saquon Barkley Jerseys 2019 , that’s his best friend,” Gettleman said.“For the kids that are real quality people we put a blue on ‘em. This kid was a blue.
This kid was a captain this year, and he’s just a great kid.”Gettleman said that
as a player Ballentine really impressed him at the Senior Bowl.“When a Division
II kid shows up at the Senior Bowl we’re looking for him to step up the plate.
Is he gonna cower? Is the competition going to be too big for him? Or, is he
going to step top and really compete? That’s what Corey did. He just kept
getting better and better,” Gettleman said.Ballentine took to Twitter Monday to
pay tribute to Simmons: The second half of the New York Giants’ season is under
way, and they are trailing the San Francisco 49ers 13-10 after the first two
quarters.The Giants decided to lean on the run game after the addition of Jamon
Brown to the starting line-up. Despite the addition
White Phil Simms Jerseys , the line’s run blocking has not been dramatically improved, but Saquon Barkley was able to do Saquon Barkley things and repeated
broke tackles, made would-be tacklers miss, and created his own running lanes,
to the tune of 53 yards on 15 carries (long of 18). The Giants’ passing offense
has been uninspiring. Eli Manning has played fairly well, buying time in the
pocket and completing 10 of 15 attempts for 63 yards and a touchdown.
However
Phil Simms Jerseys 2019 , he didn’t throw further than 10 yards down the field until late in the second quarter. The addition of Brown paid off with a key block on a
pass to a wide open Odell Beckham Jr. in the endzone for the first touchdown of
the game, putting the Giants up 7-3. On the defensive side of the ball, B.J.
Goodson and Janoris Jenkins came up with a big tip-drill interception to set up
the Giants’ touchdown. Meanwhile Landon Collins has been targeted often in
coverage of TE George Kittle. The Giants’ defense has largely struggled to
contain the 49ers offense.The 49ers won the opening coin toss and elected to
defer. They will get the ball to start the second half. Use this as your
second-half open thread.
