The New York Giants joint practice vs. the Miami Dolphins featured dominant New York defense, intense heat, and, of course, a few scraps when the physicality got out of hand. Here are some of the takeaways from Giants head coach John Harbaugh and a handful of Giants' players.
Harbaugh said he felt the Giants were leaving the practice better than when they started it.
"We got a lot of good work done," Harbaugh said. "I think we leave the practice a better team than when we came in. That was our goal."
There were several toward the back half of practice as the intense heat and physicality got to players.
"You're not trying to do that, but it's just football," Harbaugh said. "It's not a game, so you don't have the same, quite, guardrails on it. And it's a violent game. And so, in this sort of an environment, you have these rules of engagement that aren't really rules of the game. And then somebody perceives somebody else goes over the line, or they do go over the line, and somebody needs to protect somebody, and that's where it goes.
