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.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
