My biggest concern is the schedule. The first 7 games. I fear the season will be over again before we get to gel.

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 I did not like them getting rid of DRC and Cockrell. |

Lots of new players so getting the timing down and chemistry... secondary lots of bodies in camp... we'll see. Then I would say being able to control the line on both sides of the ball... just the unknown of whether they can play together as a unit.
Please a better start to the season than last year if we can see marked improvement that leads to the prospect of making the playoffs then I for one will be happy Giant fan.
1) Corners
2) DL
3) OL

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. Beyond Oline, which should be the first and foremost concern of anyone who's watched this team the last 5 years, you hit on my next biggest concern, Nickel back. The nixing of DRC was needed due to cap space, but the drop off in talent is large. Hopefully, the switch to 4 lbers on the field will help. |

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. Actually Darnold is not playing well, so be happy. |

I thought it was a terrible move to get rid of DRC and not sign Cockrell... This was because they are claiming not to be in a rebuild mode so who's the 2nd and slot corners on this team.. Apple is too much of a question at this point and Gay as the slot.. I say down grade until otherwise proven wrong on the field.. |

OL until they actually prove they can run it and pass block,after that I would say pass rush, only reason I didn’t go corner here because if they can find a goo pass rush it will help the secondary.

Yes. Where have you been? Did we beat Coughlin? Barkley's fumble was the biggest surprise. But it was a good game and the Giants prevailed. Link: |

Definitely not concerned on offense. Should be able to put up points with all these weapons and a revamped line. Defense is more concerning with the new system. I hope the offense can score quick and early to take some pressure off the defense.

We may find a diamond in he rough back there who knows. Cockrell looked good though but I think it’s mainly because at times he looked like the only one who gave a damn back there. He can be replaced. |

I am VERY concerned about our greatest weakness on our entire football team over the past several years....Pass rush. Lack of pass rush has killed us for years. |

With all due respect, where is the option for my biggest concern area on the team? It's what I fret over every single year. It has decimated many seasons, many times over and made games, anywhere from unwatchable, to downright comical. INJURIES.

It has decimated many seasons, many times over and made games, anywhere from unwatchable, to downright comical. INJURIES. The thread was set on what is known , injuries , strength of seclude super volcanos and asteroids hitting the earth are unknowns on how and if they will effect the season. Every team has injuries and has to play a schedule . Those are the only things that are known for those two. The team the Giants are fielding is a known and some aspect of the team are weaker the others . The poll was based upon that. With all due respect. |
