EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – This was not the first impression that quarterback Davis Webb was hoping to make on the new regime. His first six passes in the New York Giants’ preseason opener Thursday night fell incomplete. Most sailed over the heads of the intended receivers.
My notebook on Webb’s first significant NFL action this year read: “high, high, high, high.” He missed wide receiver Russell Shepard on a corner route that would have been a big play. That was the one that bothered Webb most.
