The Giants learned a lot of things about themselves in their joint practices against the Browns and Patriots this summer. The one lesson that sticks most with the defense is the importance of starting fast.

In each of those workouts the Giants were dominated on the first day but came back to be much more competitive the second. They are taking that experience with them into Sunday’s opener against the Broncos.
