Giants trying out a whole new look under center

Jon Halapio, a converted guard, continues to line up as the Giants’ starting center.

“The closer you are to the ball the more you need to communicate,’’ coach Pat Shurmur said Saturday. “I think he’s done a good job communicating, getting us going in the right direction. He also has to do what every lineman does, block his guy and then work in conjunction with the guys next to him, and he’s does a good job with that as well.’’

Brett Jones ended last season starting at center and in the offseason signed a one-year deal for $2.
