Five Giants and Jets items Brad Penner/USA Today: Leonard Williams might walk from the Giants for nothing Jets and Giants brass spoke yesterday at day one of the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Here are five things from their availabilities. 1. Joe Douglas on Jamal Adams: "The plan is for Jamal to be a Jet for life. [We've had some preliminary talks with his agent]( -- not gonna get into the specifics of that. But again, the plan is for Jamal to be here a long time." 2. The Giants aren't opposed to trading down: "We don't have to do anything," said new Giants coach Joe Judge. "[We'll listen to anything.]( 3. Nothing is brewing with Le'Veon Bell: "[There hasn't been talk]( as far as him going anywhere," Douglas said. "... I can't tell you how great he's been. ... we're excited to have him." 4. Dave Gettleman on possibly letting Leonard Williams walk: "[Oh, I'll get killed. But I've got thick, rhino hide]( 5. Douglas holds Robby Anderson in high regard: "I view Robby Anderson as a dynamic wide receiver that could take the top off any defense. I think he has a skill trait that a lot of teams are looking for. He can run by anybody." On SNY.tv: [Are the Giants not sold on Daniel Jones?]( --------------------------------------------------------------- DAILY TRIVIA During Eli Manning's rookie year in 2004, he started seven games. Who started the other nine? 5. RJ Barrett's scoring average, by month Data: [Basketball Reference]( Remember early this season, about 35 negative Knicks stories ago, when everyone was wondering why David Fizdale was playing RJ Barrett so many minutes? Through his first seven games: - Barrett averaged 37.1 minutes per game and 18.3 points per game. For whatever reason -- a coaching change, the rookie wall -- those numbers been have reduced, reflected in the graph above. - In the 40 games since that seven-game start, Barrett is averaging 29.3 minutes and 13.1 points. The Knicks rookie is also [only fifth on the team]( in touches per game, at 44.4 (Elfrid Payton's 74.8 are first). Barrett's long-term best case scenario is as a high-scoring, high-usage point forward. It'll be interesting if Mike Miller, health-allowing, chooses to unleash him over the final 25 games of the season. --------------------------------------------------------------- 6.
