CLEVELAND: for sale.
This is what the Giants want to make known about Ryan Santoso, the kicker no. 2, that is, that there is no room for it when the completion of the list ends.
And so they would love to change it for a draft selection.
The Giants believe Santoso, who was part of their training squad in 2020, is one of the top 32 players in the world right now, which is why they also believe he can be the position player for an NFL team. not only the Giants, who have veteran Graham Gano was locked up for three more years. Santoso re-signed with the Giants because they promised to give him every opportunity to show off his talent and promised to do everything possible to find him a job opportunity. If they can change it, better, and the Giants have launched calls on Santoso.
In Sunday’s 17-13 preseason loss to the Browns, Santoso got his only extra point attempt and had touchbacks on all three pitches.
“We wanted Santoso to get some kicks,” head coach Joe Judge said. “This guy has had a fantastic camp for us, we wanted to make sure we rewarded him and took him for a few kicks. We’re happy to have Graham, it’s a phenomenal shot. If we didn’t have Graham, this guy would be our kicker. I have a lot of faith in him. “
Giants owner John Mara chatted with Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. before the game in the band. Mara, of course, signed the mega trade of the talented but polarizing Beckham, the draft pick for the 2014 fourth round of the Giants. … Remember the post-practice “fight” between Sterling Shepard and Browns CB Troy Hill? Apparently, there were no persistent harsh feelings. They hugged after the match.
The judge would not reveal if there was any disciplinary action against Shepard; there was probably something minimal.
Second-year safety Xavier McKinney played a series for a specific reason. The coaching staff wanted him to have the opportunity to make defensive calls, which he cannot do when veteran Logan Ryan is on the field. … Rookie LB Azeez Ojulari had a “nickname” in practice last week, the judge said, so he stayed out of the game. The judge said Ojulari will be ready this week.
OLB Cam Brown continues to excel in special teams. He had two attacks as a gunner on the knit deck team. … Trent Harris, who showed positive signs this summer as an outside defender, was used in the second half inside, while the coaching staff continues to juggle the staff.
CB Sam Beal, who was trying to stay (a workout spot is the best you can expect), didn’t have a strong display.
CB debutante Rodarius Williams was not the only member of his family to start in this game. His younger brother, Greedy Williams, began cornering the Browns. … CB Jarren Williams resigned with an injury deal.
