On Sunday at Quest Diagnostics Center in East Rutherford just two days after the team’s first preseason action of 2017, Ben McAdoo called on shells.
No pads. Just shells and shorts as he preps the team for a long week prior to the New York Giants Week 2 preseason matchup in Cleveland on Monday night. Any day a football player receives of avoiding full pads is a good day. In fact, for most players, it’s a glorious occasion — at least in his eyes that are positioned under that slick-backed head.
On this sort of day, head coaches look to be rewarded.
