*Last year, the Giants' top three wide receivers – Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton – played together in just five games, including the last four. What is the potential if that trio can stay on the field for all 16 games?
"I think it's a great potential," Tolbert said. "Coach Judge mentioned something earlier to us about the team with the best advantages is the healthiest team. We like all our guys to be as healthy as possible because when you have everybody healthy and everybody on the field at the same time, then you'll be able to use people in different ways. I'm looking forward to those guys being out on the field together and being healthy and having everyone contribute again, because we believe the healthiest team will be the team that has the biggest advantage. Health is priority number one right now."
*Slayton led the Giants with 740 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last season. But Tolbert said while the knowledge Slayton gained is good, those numbers are now irrelevant.
"The difference for Darius is, it's year two, obviously, and it's game experience," Tolbert said. "He did get some game experience in the NFL last year. At this point of time last year, he hadn't played an NFL snap. Now, he has some game experience. He can go out there and he knows the speed of the game and how the defensive backs play in the NFL. That's, to me, the biggest difference. He's a smart guy.
"He's starting the new offense, as we all are. But we're looking forward to Darius getting to compete. Last year was last year. It's gone. This is a new year. He's out there competing with everybody else. Again, being healthy is the biggest thing. If we can stay healthy and have all our guys out there on the field, I think we'll go out there and we'll play pretty hard and play well. Let's see what happens."
*Jones isn't the only quarterback Schuplinski is enthused about. He also had high praise for backups Colt McCoy, Cooper Rush and Alex Tanney, who is beginning his third Giants season.
"I like these guys," he said. "I'm excited about what we have in the room. A lot of the discussion has been about Daniel today, and I certainly understand that. Those other guys are awesome. Colt is a good veteran, he's seen a lot in this league, he understands a lot. He works really hard in the meetings. He pays great attention, asks really great questions. He's probably the question-asker of the group, but I don't know if he's always asking it for himself. He's seen things and knows things might come up and so he's not afraid to asks questions. Cooper has a lot of experience in our system. He still comes to work every day, is learning and learning new things and growing, and opening up his communication. Alex, who has been here, is a really sharp guy mentally. Really understands the game of football.
"We're all learning about each other. Daniel and Alex were in the same room last year. The rest of us weren't, Jason, me, Colt and Cooper. We're all learning about each other while growing together. It's really fun so far. Those guys, we couldn't ask for anything more. Every chance they get, they are working hard and they are in there studying."
