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 turned to the NFL Network and they are playing the Wildcard Game against the Rams I think we gained a lot of respect around the league we hung in there for a while into the 4th Quarter 🙂
    • Does anyone know for sure if the game tonite will be on HBO max?  That is where I watched the last one and only access I currently have- I am in SE NC and no broadcast stations carry the games.😖
    • take a  look around the league at other young Qb's such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted by teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  Bryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history of the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying
