With soo many negatives, what are the positives

superspynyg : 8/31/2015 8:54 am
that have come out of preseason?

I know that there are a lot of negatives (Cruz still out, oline struggles, S injuries, etc..) but there has to be some positives.

I will start it off: OBJ finally recorded some good catches in the preseason. Had a nice one handed grab (even though it was out).

who else?

This. Flowers is the big, talented body this offensive line hasn't had since McKenzie.
Flowers definitely a positive

some reason he reminds me of Jonathan Odgen, hopefully pans out to be.
Positives that I see

We had one hell of a good draft this year.

Flowers looks solid - and is a bulldozer for the running game

Odighizuwa looks very good - non-stop motor and knows how to set the edge

Collins is still green, but has a great future

Jeremy Davis is showing promise as is Hart.

-------------------------------------------------

Nassib looks sharp and can handle McAdoo's system giving us a little security in our backup QB position

Vereen looks like he is going to be Eli's best pal and will be to the Giants and Eli what Witten is to the Cowboys and Romo

JT Thomas looks like he'll do just fine for us

Dwayne Harris brings a lot of enthusiasm and hopefully changes our pathetic ST play

I've also been impressed with Trevin Wade as a back CB

I also like the play of Uani Unga and hopes he makes the team

So there's some positives. The negatives are all about injuries, Eli's hot and cold flashes, questions surrounding the safety position...IMO

narrative that OBJ somehow undressed Revis is a joke. He had five inconsequential catches and really only had 4.




He turned him around and beat him BADLY 3 times. The passes weren't there.



Hey here's an idea. Lets forget about the Giant record this season and concentrate on how many one handed catches OBJ makes and how many times he undresses the oppositions secondary. Won't that be fun!!!


I owe Old Dirty Beckham an apology. My vitriol was completely and foolishly misplaced in my haste to reply.

So: That wasn't the question was it Johnny Boy. The question asked for a positive. Beckham played well. Nobody is suggesting that one player making a spectacular play in a game is an acceptable substitute for a loss you stupid fuck.

...have 10 fingers?
The Giants start off 0-0!

Also if your really negative on the Giants, be gratefull this isn't baseball where you can lose 100 games.

Not too bad of a foundation..I'm sure I left off someone(s)


You know you're reaching when you name guys like Selvie, Thomas and DeOssie as positives.

to have two pretty good punters and a good kicker.


It was the punters fault on the punt that got returned for a TD. You're not supposed to give a PR a full field to work with. The coverage needs to be way better as well but it starts with the punt.

Will play better. He has rarely done great in the pre season. The team has young pieces and should improve as the year goes on. Bromley looks good. Williams should be better than last year.
The two biggest I hold to

Eli and Coughlin. With those we have a franchise QB and coach who have proven they can win it all. Without either of those two things teams will go nowhere so we have that and have to hope that enough other things fall into place and some guys step up where needed and by playoff time they are gelling as a team. In todays NFL it really comes down to a team peaking at the right time. That is what we should be hoping for.
