I think this team has the making of a real force. Yes, we may have holes at every single position (literally, without exception), but the weapons are there. Assuming we're healthy (another big assumption, I know), I think this offense will be very good.
Eli/Jennings and a speedy scatback (I like Jeremy Langford out of Michigan State, BTW. I think he fits the bill well)/a healthy Cruz AND a healthy Beckham Jr./Donnell and a new speedy TE/ a new starting RT after we move Pugh to LG...and of course, quality depth for the O-Line.
I think that has the potential to be an awesome offense.
I'm excited about next season. I really am.
The only thing that people should be hopeful for is if coughlin steps down and allows mcadoo to actually run his plays.
If that doesn't happen, we won't go anywhere no matter who we draft or sign.
Great insight.
Jennings is okay, but nothing special. Donnell is mostly a JAG and they have no other TEs. Randle is a JAG. Cruz may never be the same again and they wouldn't be smart to bank on him.
Throw in how any belief that the OL will be decent being pretty much blind, reason-less faith given how incapable they keep showing themselves in that department, and it's not a good situation.
Realistically, they're probably years away from a potentially great offense, especially considering how much investment turning the defense around is going to take, and by then the QB situation, if a change doesn't go down in the mean, will start to be a possible issue, given Manning's age.

This. They only have one sure thing plus weapon offensively.
add in growth from donell, andre, washington. even Randle as a 3rd/4th receiver.

Dep no it wasn't. Stop it. I liked what he wrote and complimented him on it. Please stop following me around.
I hate that this is probably the truth and that I will be in for more hair pulling with Randle.

Well, we do need to add some pieces, but I'm optimistic. A new RT, a scatback like Jeremy Langford or Duke Williams, whose speed will destroy opposing offenses, a TE that will stretch the field like a Maxx Williams or a Wes Saxton...I think this team has the potential to be very dynamic.

Nice..I agree
We have Eli, Beckham, Donnell and a whole lot of nothing.

Are you not a fan of Jennings? i think he's at least a piece.
I'm a big fan of Andre Williams and i think if you have a powerhouse OL, that kid can absolutely wear out defenses ala AB and Jacobs. Jennings is reliable.
No clue what the defense is gonna look like next season, but I sure hope it includes some NFL linebackers. Did McClain get home on that third quarter blitz yet?

Ye of little faith
It's a decent year for WRs. I will say this and I've maintained it all year: Doriel Green-Beckham has more talent than Amare Cooper. If he checks out off the field and be mature and that's the million dollar question, he is going to be an absolute beast.
We're headed in the opposite direction.
TE is a major need for the Giants.

Believe me, Eric. I'm on board with cleaning house. I'd let everyone go. Reese, Coughlin, Fewell, Ross...only one I semi-like is McAdoo.
TE is a major need for the Giants.
I don't think its a major need. We need another weapon, whether its a TE, WR or RB.
We're headed in the opposite direction.
Ross has to go, Reese needs to show he can run the full draft..Ross has been a disaster

All three. We need a speedy TE that can stretch the field, like Wes Saxton or MyCole Pruitt. Kevin Funchess also obviously fits the bill. We need a speedy, HR threat at RB like Duke Johnson or Jeremy Langford, and we need a starting WR if Victor Cruz isn't healthy.
He has excellent size and has a decent vertical, but that's about it. He needs to be complemented with a guy that will stretch the field.
Justin Hunter, Robert Woods, Aaron Dobson, Brian Quick, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jefferey, Ryan Broyles, Rueben Randle, Titus Young, Torrey Smith, Greg Little, Randall Cobb, Dexter McCluster, Arrelious Benn, Golden Tate, Brian Robiske, Mohammed Massaquoi.
These are all the WR selected between 2009-2013 in the second round. I would say Rueben Randle is Better Than Average when picking a 2nd round wide receiver.
Who would you definitely take over Randle? Jefferey is a beast. Cobb is good, but who thinks Cobb takes over a team that isn't QB by Aaron Rodgers? Golden Tate before this year was considered a bust before he moved to Detroit.
Randle is NOT great, but he is NOT a BUST.
People have unrealistic expectations of what most players actually become in the NFL.
Would you rather have T.Y. Hilton (selected in the third round?) Absolutely. Is Randle terrible. No? And He's still very young. He's STILL only 23 years old.
