Well, being up here in Albany, I get wayyyy too much Giants info and Giants games. Sure do miss being at Fort Hood and watching the boys preseason. Anyway, here is what my thoughts were. I will comment almost exclusively on the first string.
First of all, Giants won this game and it wasn't even close in my eyes.
I have that same feeling watching this game as I did watching the Eagles-Raiders game. Are the Giants that good or are the Chiefs that bad. I have to say that the Chiefs can't be as bad as the Raiders, but they were not very impressive.
First of all, Kyle Turley has no business being in this league anymore. Buck and Aikman were saying he looked like he weighed 270 (on the side line when they saw him before the game) at tackle.
That is just insanely small. It was hard to judge if the KC Oline was that bad or the Giants DL was that good. I think it was both. Giants have good DEs if not very good. I am not ready to call them great, but they are close. They also have great depth w/ Tuck and the new guy that I would not get his name spelled correctly even if I tried. They provide a great outside push. It is a wonder they didn'y get 20 sacks against us w/ Tucker and Petitti last year. Flo better be healed and Columbo is either gonna have to round into shape or we are gonna have to keep a TE in for help.
Larry Johson Fantasy owners.... Don't expect his 5.2 average w/ the line they have. He is a great RB, but a good OL makes a huge difference. He was stopped in the backfield a few times.
I have to note, I think KC will take a big step backwards this year. I just do not like Herm as a coach. They interviewed LJ during the game and he was talking about how much fun him and Herm had had so far this camp..... OK, that spells disaster. This isn't camp fun. I want players that fear yet respect you. I think this team will be in the basement in two years. Before the game, Troy and Buck mentioned how good Herm had done in NY. Are they kidding? His roster got worse every year. Now his team needs an overhaul. Expect the same in KC in two year.
KC isn't gonna be good this year. 1 note is that KCs defense just looks small. They remind me of our defense when Parcells first got here. No pass rush whatsoever. The Giants line looks good, but I am telling you, KC has no major talent on the DL.
Brandon Jacobs- he looks like a pretty good player. He is big, but doesn't look like he moves like a big guy. Actually, I thought he was Tiki on a few plays, He has nifty movers and he covers a bunch of ground fast. Tiki going down would hurt, but I think Jacobs would fill in nicely. I am hoping he doesn't have a high ceiling from where he is now......
Eli- he isn't Peyton yet. His throws aren't tight yet. Many flutter in the air. He does find the open receiver thought.....
Giants negatives--- I think they can be beat in the secondary. Not just a little, but alot. KC could have scored on the second drive had it not been for penalties. The Pass Rush died off after the first drive. I started to think, KCs receivers or TG, TO, PC and Witten. W/ KCs offense, its hard to believe, but I like our skill players better...... My scary thought is that Romo would do better against this team beause he can avoid the rush and step into the pocket. I am trying not to dwell on this now though.....
All in all, Giants won handily, but that means little to us. I think we have weapons to exploit weaknesses of the Giants. We just need the OL to give DB time. Our defense will contain EM better. KC pass rush was pathetic.
