Giants OTA No. 3: Defense Dominates on Third Down

The Giants held their third OTA indoors at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center due to weather, with the defense answering yesterday’s offensive success by making a string of third‑down stops, pass breakups and pressure from multiple players. Kayvon Thibodeaux flashed a rush in the backfield, Brandon Allen delivered several deep completions (including to Gipson and Hodgins) and Beaux Brade jumped a middle‑of‑the‑field pass for an interception. Deonte Banks continued to lock down receivers, while Zacch Pickens and Leki Fotu, along with Chauncey Golston and Tremaine Edmunds, generated pressure. In the situational work, Paulson Adebo and Greg Newsome caused breakups and Jason Pinnock nearly intercepted one. Arvell Reese was active in coverage and pursuit, and Tanner Conner stood out as a reliable target early in OTA practice. The kicking trio of Sanders, Sauls and Zvada rotated through reps. The Giants will take a Memorial Day weekend break and return for practice Wednesday through Friday next week.
