Giants young on O, Ancient (or at least old) on D

Not that this means a ton, just bye week depth chart reviewing and something stuck out at me, we all probably realize.

On offense the Giants are starting 6 of 11, with 3 years in the league or less.

Rookies Richburg, Williams, and ODB
2nd year players Pugh
3rd year players Randle and Donnell - and Parker
Hyno is in his 4th year.


Walton (5 years), Jerry (5 years), Beatty (6 years) are all on the relatively young side.

Eli is the only old one, which is fine.


Defense is the problem

The only players with less than 5 years (this is JPP's 5th year) are J-Wil, Prince and Hankins. Giants need Moore, Bromley, Kennard, and Berhe to pan out.

even the depth (or at one time they were depth) players guys like Ayers, Brown, Patterson, McClain are all "older".

Anyway, just thought it was interesting even though most people realized it already.

confirming this, though not much spread from many of these.

I've seen some of these analyses that remove kickers and punters since they can skew things at positions where age doesn't really become a detriment the way it is other positions.

I've also seen lists just focusing on starters. I think this one is just 53-man roster.

OLDEST
1. Raiders (27)
2. Giants (26.75)
3. Bears (26.72)
4. Colts (26.66)
5. Chargers (26.64)

YOUNGEST
1. Rams (25.09)
2. Jaguars (25.2)
3. Chiefs (25.34)
4. Cowboys (25.44)
5. Vikings (25.58)

That's probably the most stupid comment I've read here in a long time and that's saying something.
If Fewell feels suffocated by Coughlin, he's as stupid as some

fans try to claim he is (he's not).

The only thing more cringe-worthy to claim would be Quinn feeling suffocated by him.
