GT, the Giants Oline was ranked last or 31'st last year and failed the eye test miserably. Any improvement will lift this team up. Reports have been very good about Thomas and remember he was a train wreck to start 2020. I haven't been positive on these boards in the last few weeks based on reports coming out of camp but even I realize that Jones is currently practicing with the same level of talent that he had in 2020. He doesn't doesn't have his new TE (Just got activated), his #1 receiver or Toney (Who I'm not expecting much from this year but am expecting him to be a contributor). The Giants need Golladay on the field soon and then Barkley. Either of these guys will change the entire way a defense will play against the Giants and open the offense up. Unfortunately, I just read a story this morning that quoted Judge saying that Barkley won't be playing in game 1 IF he doesn't have contact in practice (7 vs 7) (11 Vs 11). The Giants need Golladay at this moment pretty badly... Any first round pick need to be more than a contributor. While I agree with your statement, I'm also realistic about Toney's current situation. When he was healthy, Toney wasn't really practicing with the 1's and now that he has been out for so much time, he is even further behind.

To be fair Jones has completed just as many passes this preseason as he did last preseason. The completed passes dont matter. Only the incompletes matter.

LOL all the whining about the OL and now this he doesn't notice so far they look good, and the depth can actually play. Remember when the OL was the most important thing now that they are showing signs of improvement on to the next whining point. The negativity will find a new place to call home whats next. I mean I get it. I am in the 60/40 that they dont get it done but I am hanging my hat on the positive 40 side for now. To be so Debbie Downer al the time is exhausting. I am interested to see how the negative members react when/if the this team puts it together and becomes legit competitive. I’m not aware there were multiple fan camps. I always figured there were only two groups: the team and organization and everyone else and only one of those two is in any position to foist informed theories. Everyone else is really just talking about their feelings. No that there’s anything wrong with that.

When he was healthy, Toney wasn't really practicing with the 1's and now that he has been out for so much time, he is even further behind. I don't dispute his rocky start. But they drafted him for his athletic skills, and he's a wr. It's not a rocket science position. He needs to be more than a contributor this year, regardless of his preseason.

The op throws a bit of cheese out. And everyone runs to take a bite. I don’t buy for a second he actually believes this. Matter of fact, I think he laughs to himself as he throwing darts at Odell Beckham’s life sized poster. Always missing of course..

Well, last night against the Patriots proved my point. The 2021 Giants have a real shot at 0-17….that offensive line is the worst I have ever seen, not just for the Giants, but for ANY NFL team.

Gotta say things are going very poorly for the GIANTS this summer. The vibes are very bad, while the offense struggles under the direction of the incompetent OC Garrett. What is most surprising is how bad the defense has looked. The defense was the strength of the team last season, but looks lackluster. Denver is the opening game and they are a hungry looking team hoping to win a lot of games, while the Giants look like a team that has already accepted its fate as a cellar dweller. Told ya

Gotta say I called it right in August!
