3 observations from Day 9 of New York Jets training camp
New York Jets 2025 NFL training camp is well underway and will be watched under a microscope each and every day. Throughout practices, updates are shared during the workouts which make for intriguing and important notes. In terms of Day 89of training camp, what stood out the most? Here are three observations from the ninth day of Jets training camp Aaron Glenn shows the passion On the positive side of the ledger from head coach Aaron Glenn, he really showed how much he cares about the Jets once again. Glenn got emotional discussing fans viewing practice as he said it was the "first time it really hit him." Sloppy, sloppy During Saturday's practice there was a bit of a scrimmage that went down. It did not go well. Per reports, there were 12 penalties called during the workout and that is very bad. Glenn has previously said he wants referees at practice to help fix the issue with flags, but improvement is still needed. Glenn was vocal about the problem after practice. Isaiah Davis makes waves On a plus side, running back Isaiah Davis took advantage of Braelon Allen missing practice due to injury. ESPN was among those that praised Davis' efforts working with the first-team offense, both in the rushing and passing game.

Bills' Ray Davis shows off his kicking skills during training camp
With Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass dealing with a pelvic injury, someone had to step up. It was running back Ray Davis. Davis stepped up and kicked a few, making two, during Buffalo's "Return of Blue and Red" training camp practice at Highmark Stadium on Friday. He enjoyed himself. "It was fun to go out here and do it," Davis said. "I used to kick in high school." Davis claimed to make a 57 yarder back in the day... but bare minimum he sounds confident if Bass was to go down in a game. The hope will be... this never happens. But Davis' thoughts on kicking can be found below: This article originally appeared on Bills Wire: Bills' Ray Davis shows off his kicking skills during training camp

New York Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 2
The New York Giants are through two weeks of training camp and will begin preparing for the preseason next week. First up is the Buffalo Bills, who host Big Blue on Saturday afternoon. But before looking ahead, we'll take a moment to look back at the week that was. Here's a look at the top five plays of the week. 5. Moonball Wide receiver Malik Nabers makes so many highlight catches that this one just seems routine. But it really wasn't. Nabers went up and high-pointed a moonball from quarterback Russell Wilson for a 50-yard gain. 4. Dart dot Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Montrell Washington linked up several times in Week 2, and a few of those plays warrant a spot on this list. However, the ball placement on one of their Thursday connections was elite. 3. One-handed snag Cornerback Art Green opened the second week of training camp practice with a dazzler, intercepting veteran quarterback Jameis Winston using only one hand. The player/fan reaction tells the story. 2. Unblockable There is not a single practice that goes by in which rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter doesn't stand out. He's an unstoppable, unblockable force, and the offensive line learned that once again in Week 2. At first glance, this play seems unremarkable. But the more you watch it, the more remarkable it becomes. 1. Wild Wan'Dale Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson made a circus catch during practice on Saturday, hauling in an underthrown ball from quarterback Russell Wilson that cornerback Dru Phillips had made a good play on. Sometimes the ball just bounces the right way. Literally. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 2
