Injury wise the team is in good shape. I’m a bit worried about Zack Martin and T.Smith. This is the best starting 5 offensive line in the league but I don’t like the depth and let’s be honest - there is an argument for both of those players being top 3 in the league at their positions. We really aren’t the same team without either one let alone both.

DLaw and Tyrone Crawford are back and will start week 1.

But the worrisome news is that Byron has a “setback” (Fish’s words not mine). He’s looking iffy to start week 1 and, even if he’s 90% by then, do you play him after not participating in training camp at all or do you roll with Jourdan Lewis, who let’s face it has had a great camp?

We need him back in week 4 against the Saints.

Not worried if he misses game 1 against the Giants as long as Lawrence is playing and healthy.

Week 2 and 3 are the Commanders and Dolphins. Average to below average QBs at best on those teams.

There are probably some fans on this forum who are better WRs than the Giants starters. Chido can take care of Golden Tate and we can easily handle everyone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches hold Byron out that week because it's such an easy matchup. Players are competitive and usually press to play though; guess we'll see.

Giants wont even have Tate week 1. He got suspended for 4 games

What's the setback? Did Jones finally learn a modicum of ball skills in the offseason?
Cody Latimer had his way with Jones last December.

Unless Jones is 100% I wouldn't start him against the Giants. Dress him if you need him though.

Hip injury and Cornerback do not sound good together. Byron might have to PUP list the start of the season cause he's gonna need at 3 weeks of practice before playing in a game.

Chido, AB n JD have been the CBs since Day 1 of the offseason program, and they are tight on coverage right now. No worries.

Don't rush Byron Jones. The 4th CB Jourdan Lewis might be the best backup on the team.

Lewis was the "starting" Nickel CB in 2 games last season (Awuzie & Brown each missed 1 game).

Lewis also played 8 snaps as the Dime CB against the Saints and Kamara.

They can use Xavier Woods as the emergency backup backup CB. He played Nickel CB in multiple games in 2017.

They drafted fan favorite Michael Jackson, see what he can do. :muttley:
Next man up.

I can see Jones missing several games as that is what this team is good at. Bringing back players way longer than it usually should take or so it seems.

I’ll go with no.

He’s in a contract year.. He shouldn’t put any bad film on tape if he isn’t healthy.

I wouldn't sleep on the Giants. First game of the season is always a crap shoot and I have read several positive reports about them.

Don’t need him till we need him, our depth is more than adequate...
