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 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.
Eli, Jennings, Vereen
OBJ, Cruz, Randle, Jones
Richburg, Flowers, Pugh, Schwartz
Hyno
Odi, Moore, Ellis, Selvie, Ayers, Bromley, Hankins
JT Thomas, Kennard, Beason
DRC, Prince, Collins
Weatherford, DeOssie, Brown, Harris
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.
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.
