Well they did pick up 4 defensive free agents and their number one pick was a corner so I think their d will be improved. WE are missing are DE's and a linebacker . And we will see how dak can handle a blitz because they are going to be coming after him all day.

They would be better off utizing their speed to get out of Tyron, La' el, and Zack's way. It will be difficult pressuring Dak with half their body parts splattered across the field and a Zeke's footprint imbedded in their chest.

Before they can even think about messing with Dak they had better be able to defend the run because if they dont stop the Cowboys cold then it's all they will see until they are too beat up to stand up straight.

And that is when they will begin to see the passing game.

I think they are going to put 7 8 people on the line to stop run and make Dak pass to beat them.

Remember when we opened up against the Browns? Yeah, that was nice.


The only thing I remember about that game was that we destroyed them and Felix Jones scored on his first NFL touch. I had such high hopes for that kid. We subsequently ignored him for the next couple of games.

:facepalm:

The Giants ended last season as the league's worst defense, 32nd in yards allowed, 30th in points allowed.

They were particularly awful in pass defense, 32nd in yards allowed, 29th in net yards per attempt.

The Giants were 25th in rushing TD's allowed, 26 in passing TD's allowed. They were 31st overall in 1st downs allowed.

Im wondering to what degree a team can improve from the end of one season to the beginning on the next. Did they make all the big free agent moves and high draft selections on defense that everybody wanted for the Cowboys.

The Giant offense is old, beaten up, worn out. Eli is looking at this and one more season tops. A fresh young inspired defense led by a rotation of hungry nobodies determined to be somebodies could surprise and shock even us.

Let's find out.

Good post!!

Have a feeling that streak is about to end.
Hate to sound like a troll but I just don't think this team is ready, esp on the defensive side and esp against Eli and his array of weapons this year.

I agree, their offense was a joke this entire pre season and I'm optimistic even our weak defense will stand up against them but this was the same offense that ranked 7th overall last season and that was without Shepard and Cruz. Even if Cruz is 70% of what he once was, that is better than what they had last year.

Having said that, their left tackle (Eric Flowers) and right tackle (Newhouse) are turnstyles. I expect them to be dominated and exposed for the weak links they are.
