John Harbaugh | Getty ImagesWHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.VA. The New York Giants know they are definitely not in East Rutherford, N.J. anymore. They have noticed the beauty of their surroundings, nestled snugly into the Allegheny Mountains. They have noticed the comfort of their accommodations at the ritzy Greenbrier Performance Center.They know, though, that they are not in West Virginia to sightsee. They are not on vacation. They are on a business trip. The business of preparing to be the best football team they can be in 2026.New head coach John Harbaugh made that clear on Wednesday, the first day of training camp. He noted the beautiful setting and thanked everyone who made it happen. Harbaugh, though, quickly turned to the business at hand when asked what he was evaluating in the early practices.Were chasing execution, Harbaugh said. Were at a stage now, were getting ready for the games. I mean, thats what practice is for. Were not here to practice. Its not a training camp exercise. Were here to prepare for the games that were going to play. What plays we call, how we practice, all those things. Were not just running plays out here to run plays. Thats why we want to keep our plays to ourselves when were doing them out here. So, thats what were evaluating, is our execution.Here are some of the things we saw from the sidelines on the first day of training camp.Differences for DartIt is clear watching the Giants practice that there are some differences in what is being required of second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart. He acknowledged as much Wednesday by saying Theres reps of things that I havent really had a ton of experience doing.One of those differences is the amount of work Dart is being asked to do under center. Roughly half of his 11-on-11 work Wednesday came from under center.Theres a few things mechanically that are different, Dart said.Probably just like the biggest thing is a little bit of footwork, landmarks in the pocket, but weve repped the hell out of it.Im feeling really good with the track that were on, and Im feeling comfortable.Its not something out there when Im on the field that I have to think extra about when Im having a rep at a certain play.Its more obviously just about readingthe rep from a conceptual standpoint, getting on time with all the guys, so, its been something that weve really, you know, pushed and really got a ton of reps out of this offseason.Malik Nabers dayNabers did individual drills and ran a few pass routes on air at the beginning of practice. He played a few minutes of catch with Dart when practice ended.Dominic Zvada is humanThe placekicking competition, where undrafted free agent rookie Dominic Zvada was 13 of 13 in two practices witnessed by reporters and Ben Sauls struggled mightily, was a big story during the spring.Both kickers got opportunities on Wednesday.Sauls made 4 of 5 kicks from 33 to 51 yards, missing a 43-yarder. Sauls also missed a 61-yarder wide right, a ball that had plenty of distance. Zvada was 4 of 6 on the day, missing an extra point and a 43-yarder.Practice highlightsDart threw a beautiful short out to tight end Chris Manhertz, floating it nicely over a trailing Abdul Carter.Cornerback Tae Banks got his hands on two passes. He broke up a throw across the middle from quarterback Brandon Allen that was intended for Xavier Gipson. He also got a hand on an off-target sideline pass intended for rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields.Jameis Winston hit Braxton Berrios for a 40-ish-yard touchdown. Berrios was well behind Nic Jones, the closest defender.Kayvon Thibodeaux, working with the second unit, broke the line and batted down a Winston pass. During a two-minute end-of-game drill, Fields had a leaping 15-yard catch that put the offense into field goal position.The defense missed chances for two interceptions of Dart. Safety Jevon Holland dropped an overthrown ball across the middle. Paulson Adebo had a pass down the middle go right through his hands into the arms of tight end Isaiah Likely for a big play.The defense also missed an interception when linebacker Tremaine Edmunds batted a pass into the air, and Arvell Reese and ArDarius Washington collided trying to bring the ball in.Take me home, country roadsHere are a handful of quotes from players and coaches about their West Virginia home away from home:Dart:This is like old school.Its like what you see in the movies, so I was stoked just to come out here with the team,and its a cool experience because in the league,theres so many external factors a lot of guys have families and things that theyve got to take care of off the field,so I think that us just being able to come here for extended daysand just being with one another, growing our personal relationships,but also having great communication from the football side,theres not a ton of things to do around here,so it forces us to be together, and we love each other as a team,so Im really excited about it.GM Joe Schoen:Talked to several general managers and head coaches that have been here, and its everything they said it would be. I mean, its beautiful. I think it was 60 degrees this morning when we woke up and came over here. So yeah, its a beautiful setting and again, they were ready for us and Im thoroughly impressed with the facilities.Brian Burns:NOTE: A railroad train was chugging by during most of Burns press conference, making it virtually impossible to hear him. Or, be heard by him.Its peaceful, a lot of mountains, trees, wildlife. So, you know what Im saying, its a peaceful view, but theres a lot of chaos on the field its beautiful out here. Theres a couple cribs up there [in the mountains], its nice. I notice quite a bit of things, were trying to figure out something to do on the off day, maybe well go fishing or something. Its (not) a lot to do out here.Injury notesTight end Thomas Fidone and defensive tackle Sam Roberts, who were initially on the PUP list, passed their physicals on Tuesday. They were both removed from PUP and took part in Wednesdays workout.Remaining Greenbrier practice scheduleThe fans are coming! The next three practices will be open to the public.
