funky schedule

Exhibition schedule with games Monday-Saturday- Thursday is a little goofy.I would guess that since the giants usually use the Jets game as a tune up for the season the starters will see very little time on Monday. The final game against the Patriots is usually third string against third string.

The starters will absolutely play on Monday night.

In the second preseason game they usually play the entire first half. In the third preseason game they usually play into the 3rd Quarter.

That is correct but with there being only 4 days between games,I am not sure that they can put the same players or the players they will need for the season in for half a game on Monday and then 3/4 game on Saturday.

With there now being so much concern about the health of the players the made for TV scheduling with games played on so little rest (Sunday-Thursday during the season) will need to be looked at.

Good point regarding rest

It will be interesting to see how we handle it. Starters may get less time vs Jets and more time vs. Pats this year. I think there are 10 days before Dallas. So it may not be a bad idea to play vs Pats.
