*All the rookies and 2nd year players. Rooks are obvious. 2nd year guys are still trying to take that jump and assert their true identity. Start getting good film out.
*Left Tackle. Ereck Flowers. Chad Wheeler. Any signs of quality pass blocking would be huge, even in a preseason game.
*MLB B.J. Goodson. Yes all the 2nd year guys - but Goodson in particular. He seems to be getting universal rave reviews. How good is this guy? There are a couple guys in camp who have been chippy and I feel like will be to make a statement tonight. Pinkins the other.
*The run game early. McAdoo said they will focus on running the ball. Looking for improvement there. Specifically if we are able to run outside - something conspicuously missing from last year's attack.
*Offensive formations. Do we look like a diverse offense? Are we using a FB? Who is getting touches in SY/GL situations?
- I predict our running game does not show up
- I predict we some takeaways, maybe one early with our 1's
- I predict Engram shows out and makes some plays
He'd be an extra big body WR to reinforce the size of Marshall and Engram (who plays like a WR). If he makes the team, there'll be match-up nightmares for the other guys inside the 20.
for the first game, so I'm anxious to see how Gallman performs when both teams are just running the basics.
I assume it will be a lot more complex during the regular season.
Hopefully they resolve this QB "battle" sooner rather than later ... I'd love if Webb could get as much "NFL action" as possible this summer - maybe that doesn't happen til last game
... or maybe Webb lights it up and takes the #2 gig (I know - unlikely)
The way the NFL is these days, some rookies play well right away. Why not Webb?
That said, as pointed out above, McAdoo could easily go baby steps. This week could be huddling in a real game, calling plays, cadence & footwork handing off. I have a sneaking suspicion they are highly impressed so far and think he legitimately deserves to play.
Looking forward to seeing Darian Thompson finally being
healthy again .
Guys like Pinkins Gallman Engram . Also the kick returners
Rojas see what kind of leg strength he has .
Goodson I think he is gonna have a very good season .
Obviously Webb and as always no injuries .
In first game I always wonder if back-up QB's will impact the game.
I always watch to see if our depth is as good as we think. In recent years I have prayed that o-line keeps back-up QB's upright long enough to see what they can do.
None of these guys should be playing. Got to play it smart. They gain NOTHING from playing in this game. Risk way too big compared to reward. McAdoo has to play it smart,I hope!

Eli Manning, JPP, DRC officially ruled out. Not OBJ. See how much he plays. Josh Johnson starts at QB. He'll play behind starting O-line.
Engram and Flowers myself. Steelers are a talented, well coached, hard nosed team. Without Rothlisberger they are limited on offense but will bring it everywhere else for a few quarters.
It's tough to watch preseason games with the other team's announcers. Half the time they don't even tell you which Giants player was in on the play and they're also too busy doing stupid sideline interviews with their players.

agreed..although I think NFL Network usually defaults to the home team if I'm not mistaken.

and pretty much every snap Engram takes. Wheeler/Biz too.
Cliff notes: Psyched for Giants football. SB run starts tonight ...
-The OL play all game
-Webb and Engram
Just stoked to watch a Giants game tonight.
- Elliott gets a 6 game suspension
- Flowers goes against an UDFA rookie and struggles...
Webb will be raw..so not much nor play time yet to get a feel.
Injuries are going to happen, but hope if any at all ..none too serious
and pretty much every snap Engram takes. Wheeler/Biz too.

They have a battle at backup QB, I would think Webb gets
the 4th Qtr., curious to see the kid play.
This is going to be redshirt season for him.
-The OL play all game
-Webb and Engram

Yup.
Will pay attention to who's going to fill the hole next to Snacks.
Watch the STs to see who are going to fill roster spots 48-53.
I assume it will be a lot more complex during the regular season.
Hoping he gets to play at least a quarter, and not all hand offs.
Will be trying to ISO-cam on some trench guys like Tomlinson and the other guys competing to play next to Snacks
... or maybe Webb lights it up and takes the #2 gig (I know - unlikely)
Gallman ... and not sure how they play out the QBs. I really want to see Webb get at least 1Q
Coach already said he and Odell won't play.
If memory serves, they didn't play in preseason game 1 last year either.
That said, as pointed out above, McAdoo could easily go baby steps. This week could be huddling in a real game, calling plays, cadence & footwork handing off. I have a sneaking suspicion they are highly impressed so far and think he legitimately deserves to play.

Playing at all tonight?

I am already 2 out of 3 with my predictions...
Webb, too I guess. But, I expect he will be out there late with the 2nd / 3rd stringers.
Dammm, it's nice having a young, hungry team that is flat out loaded...
Eli, Jpp, Drc will not play

Pumped to see Engram, Goodson, and Pinkins especially
Steve...it will be the "local" announcers (either NY or Pitt) and NOT NFL Network announcers.
Well Raanan did a total 180 then. Get your shit straight Joredano...
Rosas just yanked a 43-yard FGA wide left in warmups. So far left it missed the net.
