I was kinda surprised by this.. I guess Davis still has ways to go before he becomes 3 downs player. But then, this is something we should expect from a player who played as starter only for one year last year.

He's definitely still learning the position. After seeing him get more and more snaps even in nickel and dime packages in preseason I thought he might be close to ready come week 1, but we'll need to be bit patient it seems.
Look at the Deion Jones, Devin White and Isaiah Simmons of the league... Good MLB seem to start really flashing from year 2.

Additions And Subtractions

Who’s Come: WR Kenny Golladay, TE Kyle Rudolph, CB Adoree Jackson, Edge Azeez Ojulari

Who’s Gone: DT Dalvin Tomlinson



The Giants made good on their vow to add firepower on offense, bringing in Golladay, a legitimate X-receiver, and Rudolph, an established red-zone threat to help the offense in the two areas in which it lagged last season.

Meanwhile, on defense, the Giants are hoping that the addition of Jackson at cornerback gives them what they need to play more man coverage and that Ojulari, the rookie pass rusher, can help the pass rush turn those "almost" sacks into actual sacks.

The loss of Tomlinson can go either way for the Giant. Tomlinson did a lot of the dirty work inside, taking on multiple blockers, which opened up gaps and lanes for guys like Leonard Williams to get home on the pass rush.

But with Tomlinson having departed to Minnesota in free agency, the Giants appear willing to roll with a rotation that will include Austin Johnson, Danny Shelton, and B.J. Hill to fill the void.

If they are healthy—and right now cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is trying to shake off a mild ankle sprain suffered late in the summer—the Giants’ team strength is their defensive secondary, and it’s not even close.

Scratch nail look at the NYG offseason. Seems they didnt lose many pieces and were able to upgrade at several positions.

--------

We (surprisingly) ran the ball well in week 1 (27 carries, 126 yards).

The Giants are returning basically the same front 7 that held us to 123 rushing yards on 33 carries in 2 games last year.

B.J.Hill has been traded to Cincinnati, so they are kind of light on the DL now wit Tomlinson gone, Denver managed to run on them.

Ok, I am not QB whisperer. I liked RF, I like TH, I clearly am not educated in the better mechanics of what makes a great qb. With all that said, and knowing rankings are ultimately clickbait stuff, this was what was said about TH in fansided rankings

26. Taylor Heinicke
Ryan Fitzpatrick technically started, but he hurt his hip and was out. Washington could be in worse hands, but they could also be in better hands. Taylor Heinicke will not win you games, but he will lose them…

What a useless blurb.

Is he a guy or a man or a football player? Nobody knows, really.

The only thing I do know is the legend will grow if he delivers the ass kicking of his lifetime tomorrow night.

Just finished watching the Broncos @ Giants game.

What gives me hope:
-their secondary is surprisingly not that good. You'd think Ryan Logan, Jabril Peppers, Adoree Jackson and James Bradberry is a solid SB squad... But yet Bridgewater kept finding guys wide open. Wether they were getting beat, or it was a zone coverage snafu, one guy was always open, especially on 3rd down. Minus one awesome stripped ball by Logan, it would have been 17 - 7 at the half and 34 - 13 at the end.
-I think Heinicke gives us a better chance against this D than Fitzpatrick. They don't have a Joey Bosa, but their front 7 is not to be underestimated, so Taylor's ability to extend the play will be key to find weaknesses in the secondary (Bradberry seems to be their weak link).
-if our DL lives up to what their supposed to be, we could limit this offense the way the Broncos did... But...

What if fear:
-Our LBs suck and are slow, so be ready for some excruciating 3rd and long conversion on the ground by Jones. He ran quite well against the Broncos.
-Our OL struggled and their front 7 is quite solid, Heinicke is gonna have to make plays.

Winnable game for sure. Hope we can exploit that unexpected weakness of their secondary.
Will need our DL to be who we think they are, like, finally. And our LBs to be a little less bad than what we think (Bostic I'm staring right at you).

Makes me wonder if RR/JDR saw something about Ryan that meant we didn't pursue him ourselves? System CB?

I really want to see JDR pull 2 if not all LB's on passing downs and use his DB's to defend the WHOLE field, not just the line and the space beyond the chains. We can't give up 3rd and long consistently and win, especially as you say, if Jones does it running (because our LB's can't contain him).

Yeah this containing Jones thing worries me. Rivera said in his presser we'll need to keep him in the pocket... Well that'll require some discipline from our DL because our LBs sure won't help with that...

Both defenses will have to deal with containing the QB in this contest.

I hope J Davis plays a lot. He garnered 56% of the defensive snap counts last week compared to 84% for Bostic. I would like to see that flipped. He would be the perfect 'spy' for Jones.

Holcomb was in on 100%...

I actually had that idea, on Monday, after getting burnt on 3rd and 16 on Sunday. So, I say anything around 3rd and 7 or longer should require all or most of the LB's being pulled from the field and substituted with DB's.

Honestly I would rather see Davis on the field making mistakes but learning and getting better in the process than Bostic wandering around looking lost which has no upside or prospect of improvement. Bostic is what he is

That's plausible.

If you're in the crowd that says the Heinicke sample size is too small to think his very strong play is indicative of his future, then you have to be in the crowd that says the Daniel Jones record against us (4-0) is too small a sample to think that's necessarily for real.

Heinicke is going to make mistakes, and we're going to eat Daniel Jones alive tonight.

When is the last time we scored 35 or 40? Did we at all last yr? Must be nice to have a good offense
