Please choose (3) one for each Offense, Defense and Special Teams.
For me it is:
Still the O-line . We still do not know what we have.
The D-line is a big concern . A 3-4 Defense lives and dies with the Nose Guard. If we don have 2 Zero tech tackles . It will be a long season.
Kicker. Out kicking ( points) game was atrocious last season .We can not afford the amount of misses like we had last season.

The O-Line is still my top concern until we see how the revamped group plays.
Next is the D-Line since they are switching to a 3-4. Have to see how that plays out, but I'm excited to see what Bettcher brings to the table.
Finally, QB is still a concern for me. I want to see if Eli's recent play was just related to the supporting cast around him or if he's starting to show some decline.

I actually feel really good about the offense. I think the improvement upfront will be significant. I think we will be able to run the ball. We have play makers all over the field. And shurmur knows how to use them. Defensively I feel okay about the starting the 11. It is the lack of depth, paticularly in the secondary that most concerns me. If jenkins or collins go down we could be destroyed by good qbs. Especially if we don't have a dominant pass rush which most of us don't expect to be the case. I think the special teams could be improved but kicker would have to be a concern.

OL, pass rushers and corners.

1. Offensive line (specifically Eric Flowers) 2. Our 37 year old quarterback 3. Secondary (specifically Eli Apple)

I have 2 main concerns - QB play (Eli) and just staying healthy overall.

1. Offensive line (specifically Eric Flowers) 2. Our 37 year old quarterback 3. Secondary (specifically Eli Apple) I'm not too worried about the OL. And either Flowers will play well at RT or he will be replaced by (fill_in_the_blank) who will be an upgrade. I have always thought that Eli Apple would be good - and I still do. So I remain optimistic there. Kicker anyone?? Do we even have one??

i agree with most that the oline concerns me a little regardless of additions. until they can show us on the field, its a question mark imo.
Pass rush is also a concern. JPP gone means we probably lose a little there. again until they can demonstrate a solid pass rush, im worried.

QB, OL, and the pass rush. Three major question marks

To me the main worries are all on the defensive side of the ball.
#1 the pass rush - This is going to be a glaring weakness for us, even though our first 4 picks in the draft were excellent
#2 The depth at corners, who even knows if Apple will actually be any good. His first year was mediocre at best definitely spotty. His 2nd year was a total disaster. We need this guy to step up big time or were dead in the water. The depth needs to play at their best. The nickel back is very worrisome to me.
#3 the safeties Collins was a let down in his 3rd year after his magnificent jump in his 2nd year to an actual great season. FS was a weakness every game. Adams to me is the much better choice going in. There is no one I'm hanging my hat on including Collins.
All 3 of my concerns are on defense, next year we address this but for this season it's a question mark to me.

DB is a concern. Landon is on the mend and our FS play needs to improve. I have no idea what we have at CB, but since we all like Coackrell, we now have a guy that the Steelers kept over him in William Gay
We better go DB in the draft next year

Eli is my biggest concern R/S of the O-Line Pass Rusher can OV live up to his contract?

I can't vote because I believe that injuries is the main concern.

I can't vote because I believe that injuries is the main concern. The poll was based on positions pertaining to all 3 aspects of the game.

It’s CB by a mile. We have 1 proven CB. You need three. Apple has potential but that is all he has at this point. The third CB is a “who knows” situation. Letting Cockrell go was a mistake.
I think the pass rush is going to be better than people think but since they have not shown much at all I have to list them as a concern as well.
But by far it’s he secondary. Collins and Jenkins are the only players you can be sure of in the whole group.

Our pass rush was really weak last year, and its really hard to say how it will function this coming year under a new DC/defensive philosophy. I think that the changes in the OL will make a significant improvement, and between that and a greatly improved running game (between a better line and Barkley that should be definative), I am not worried about the QB play. I think once Eli gains confidence in the line/scheme we will see the old warrior emerge, not the shell shocked version of the last year or two.

I am actually most worried about either 1) Eli not playing well, in which case everyone will be screaming about not taking Darnold, or 2) Barkley not playing very well, in which case everyone will be screaming about not taking Darnold.

I’m more worried about the receivers than the offensive line. I think this OL group is better than previous years. If Beckham can’t get to 100%, or there are contract issues, there will be no one on the outside who can make plays. Offense will be predictable.

My biggest concerns are Beckham being 100%, the pass rush and the reliability of whoever wins the kicking competition.
Not worried about Eli and I think the Oline will be improved.
Real happy that the LBs were finally addressed to some extent. At least this GM realizes that LB shouldn’t be an afterthought.

With Beckham, Shepard and Engram you are worried about the receivers? That's one of the few things I'm not concerned about. I'm O-Line still by a mile. What if Solder is overrated? What if Flowers can't play RT either? What if Hernandez is a perceived stud at Guard who is more Dud? What if Jones flops in place of Richburg(who wasn't very good anyway IMO)? There are about zero certainties with the line. Sure it could end up being our best group since 2010, but it could also be just as bad as it's been.

Cornerback. Quality corners are hard to find and DG let two of them walk out of the front door. Bringing in several CB's and hoping to find a gem is not comforting at all.

Not to mention Collins is not 100% and the other safety is a question mark just like CB. I do not like the Giants secondary at all and I am expecting it to be a point of major weakness. If Eli Apple doesn’t play well, the group is going to crumble. Too many chips on Apple right now.

If Eli Apple doesn’t play well, the group is going to crumble. Too many chips on Apple right now. Exactly. I have more faith in Apple correcting his attitude, then I do in his ability to learn where the ball is when it's in the air. His ball location awareness is atrocious. If he doesn't play well, the back end is in trouble. If Jenkins goes down again, the backend is in trouble. How in the hell do you let two quality corners walk with no backup plan? The guys DG signed to play corner probably shouldn't be in the league anymore or on another teams practice squad.
