Eli Manning looking like poo again

NFL.com today:

"The Giants offense has been a disaster in the preseason...This group is not ready for the regular season....Eli Manning is struggling to pick up offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo's new system. In theory, it made sense to change things up after a decade of Kevin Gilbride. But perhaps we underrated how difficult it would be for such a longtime veteran to change to a brand new system. McAdoo's Green Bay-influenced system focuses on quick decisions and accuracy. Even when Manning is at his best, those aren't necessarily his strengths... First-round pick WR Odell Beckham could practically have a redshirt season after a lost training camp related to his hamstring injury. Tight end remains unsettled, with Kellen Davis , Daniel Fells and Larry Donnell leading the way... the offensive line remains a work in progress.... The Giants signed two new starters for their beleaguered offensive line, although one of those ( Geoff Schwartz ) is already injured

...

POSITIVES

The running game looks vastly improved despite the retirement of David Wilson and another injury to Peyton Hillis ... Running back Rashad Jennings adds a capable set of hands for Eli Manning to check down to. ... Jennings looks like what the Giants paid for: A capable innings eater that can handle all three downs. That's much better than they had a year ago. Rookie RB Andre Williams is a bigger surprise; he looks ready to make a big instant impact.... Offseason punching bag WR Rueben Randle looks like a potential breakout candidate after a nice month. Tom Coughlin is even complimenting him now!

...

The Giants added cornerbacks Walter Thurmond (from Seattle's Legion of Boom) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (from the Broncos) to the secondary. This was a top-ten defense a year ago (#8 in fewest ypg allowed), and it has room to improve if Jason Pierre-Paul is back to his normal healthy self this year."

his last two preseason games:

Sat vs PIT - 2 drives (punt, punt)

Sat @ IND - 4 drives (punt, punt, punt, punt)

**0 of 2 for zero yds, 0 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, 39.6 rating

**1 of 7 for 6 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, 39.6 rating

This is what happens when chosen QBs lose their O-Line.  After so many hits, they become shell shocked. That is why u guys need to appreciate what Cam is going through with your O-line from day one.

 

Love me some Eli, but I must agree.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
