Russell Wilson helps Giants find resiliency after slow joint practice start
NY Post
The start: Not good.
The finish: Quite good.
Maybe this will help the Giants in the long run. Because not everything on offense will go their way early in games and they are going to have to fight through those downs to find some ups.
“That’s ball,’’ quarterback Russell Wilson said Tuesday. “Sometimes not everything goes our way right away, but how we responded was great. Our resiliency throughout practice, the execution at the end there and just making big-time touchdowns and big plays.’’
The opening of the first of two joint practices with the Jets, this one on their Florham Park turf, was pretty much unsightly for Wilson and the starting offensive unit — a group taking the field without its top wide receiver, Malik Nabers, and best offensive lineman, Andrew Thomas.
It could have been a sign that it was going to be a long, hot, unproductive morning or work. In past years, struggling out of the gate led to struggling down the stretch.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
