What happened

Observations from Giants training camp Friday.

Why it matters

’Backs on target In a grueling practice filled with 11 on 11 periods, the top two quarterbacks were sharp as Jaxson Dart was 17-for-20 and Jameis Winston was 18-for-19.

Common ground

Both handled a variety of pressures, looking for checkdowns and leading drives of 13-plus plays at the end.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
