Preseason #1: NY Giants


Recommended Posts

I am looking to see what kinds of WR sets we try as well as looking at TE patterns. I want to see if Barnidge can catch a few balls. I also want to see if Carter can contribute in a game situation or just at practice. If Smitty is out all preseason it could open a spot for him at least through pre-season. I also want to see Goodson in a game situation as well as look at Robinson to see if he is back or not.

We will get to see right off the bat how we will be without Kemo against the run given they will run a lot. It will be interesting to see the defense. Last year I could tell alot from the preseason although things were vanilla and will be the same this year given we play the Giants in the regular season and won't want to give away any secrets. Still it should give up a glimpse into this year because Meeks won't be installing a ton of defensive things as we go. He likes to keep it simple so what we see is what we will likely get.

And I surely hope one of the backup quarterbacks will step up this year. Otherwise we need to go back to the drawing board and bring in some other guys.

On offense, I am interested to see if Jake has mentally gotten past the playoff fiasco. I am also interested to see tha battle for the 4th WR spot.

On defense, I am interested in seeing Charles Johnson, combined with how our DT's perform. The Giants are a very good running team. The 1st quarter will be a good measuring stick of where the DL is right now.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
