Wink Martindale calls for an all-out run blitz as the Titans go run heavy, fake a hand-off to Derrick Henry, and then Ryan Tannehill throws a bomb down the right side-line to Treylon Burks isolated one-on-one against Aaron Robinson.
Of Giant fans in Nashville. I hope they give us some big moments to make some noise, there’ll be a lot of us in that stadium
For all the shit of the last decade, I love Giant fans and I love that the Giants are a blue blood franchise. Meanwhile the Rams couldn’t even fill their stadium with fans the day they raised the banner.

Because of LA. I bet they would've packed the stadium out in St Louis.
Rainy day in Nashville. We are all expecting a heavy dose of Henry today. On the flip side...I am beyond excited to see the Giants run the ball today. We all have noticed, at least a semblance of a rushing attack in the Pre-season.
I am eager to see if The Giants can run the ball when it counts. I want to see Evan Neal pancake someone today. I really am excited to see if Barkley can get back to his 2018 production... Go Big Blue!
Not confident in a win, but confident we'll see a competitive game decided by about 3 points. It's certainly winnable. But, the Giants will need to play some mistake-free ball today to go home 1-0.

Slippery fields lend themselves to quick twitchy guys with moves- Give me Barkley, Toney and W.Robinson today for at least one move/juke slip by a defender touchdown.
This doesn't make for pretty reading. Here is his last paragraph:
"Not only do the Titans have an obvious edge in talent, but the Giants also have injury issues, exacerbating their concerns in this matchup. This should be an uneventful victory for Tennessee if it plays to its potential. Titans 30, Giants 14."
I can't blame Ben Arthur. We haven't inspired much confidence in recent seasons. Hopefully we can get a W today. Gun to head, I'm not expecting a win, but Week 1s can be unpredictable.

Holding on the LT....10 yards repeat the down...
Losing both Starting edge for this game is not worse thing
and there is a general belief on BBI that Wink Martindale could create a pass rush with college cast-offs.
I don't.
I think the scheme can result in sacks and turnovers, but I think pressure is what disrupts an offense. Without the POTENTIALLY best 2 pass rushers, the Titans may hit on a few big plays and get a couple of easy TDs. If Martindale’s scheme is as good as advertised, the Giants should get a few sacks and turnovers.
If asked to predict a score, I would say Titans 31, Giants 24 would be a good start for the Giants. 31-17 would be a “same old Giants” day.
RE: Man, this franchise is due for an opening day win
Long time me since an opening day win, but bad teams are mostly never due for a win. Hoping this team surprises and moves beyond the morass of being a bad team.

positions, not just Edge. We'll probably see Love close to LoS anyway today. McKinney might even be given a green light on occasion to blitz. Leo Williams can create pressure, etc. If we can somehow, someway slow down Henry, we just might be capable of keeping it competitive and close. Anything can happen in a close 4th quarter game.
offense to much credit, they have Tannehill as their QB, pressure him and he will make mistakes, Wink is good at creating pass rush with Blitz schemes..
Their WRs are weak, their right tackle is weak..
The defense has talent, Williams and Lawrence are disruptors inside, Mckinnie is an elite Safety, Jackson is a shut down corner..
I've liked this matchup but last night my thoughts turned to we are going to get handled. This is a veteran Titans team at a completely different organizational maturity, and they're at home.
Not having Thibs and Ojulari hurts our chances for an upset. And having Ben Bredeson blocking Simmons is a problem.
Titans 31, Giants 13. They pull away in the 2nd half after they figure out what we're doing.
Stopping Jeffrey Simmons is job 1. Clogging gaps to slow down Henry is 1a. I want to see Dex and Leo at DE and Ellis or Williams at NT. I'd start Ward and Fox at OLB but I assume Ximines gets the nod. Crowd the box and play gap discipline and force Tannehil to beat you. Wink knows this Titans team but I think they are too talented across the board for am upset. Giants fall 30-17.

I would start Ward and Roche today. Only use Ximines on obvious passing downs. If Ximines has to set the edge against Henry the Giants are going to get blown out.
RE: RE: Man, this franchise is due for an opening day win
I live in Cleveland area. Brown’s last opening day win was 2004. Makes me feel not quite so bad.
CLE does have one opening day tie in that span, in 2018, 21-21 vs Steelers.
Brown's starting QB that day was . . . Tyrod Taylor. He was 15/40 for 197 yards, with 7 sacks. Did rush 8 times for 77.
Week 3, Taylor was still starting (vs Jets) with Baker Mayfield waiting in the wings. TT was 4/14 for 19 yards gained and 3 sacks when he went out with a concussion. Mayfield came in and led Browns to first victory in 2 years.

Caught up with Daniel Jones Friday - he’s hyper-focused and feels great. I’m a believer in the #Giants’ offense this season as new OC Mike Kafka is going to do wonders for Jones and Saquon, as well as the WRs. Have heard only good things on Kafka - innovative and relatable.

Supposedly the chiefs were ready to name him OC to replace Bienemy but he chose Giants because he felt he had a better chance to call plays and he would have more of a say in the offense

This is where I'm at right now. Although I have never liked the matchup. I hope we are wrong.... but if I see a competitive team, with obvious improvement along the OL and scheme, I will feel better than I have in a long time about the direction of this team.
Giants inactives today vs. Titans:
OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux
OLB Azeez Ojulari
WR Darius Slayton
RB Antonio Williams
S Dane Belton
CB Justin Layne
OL Tyre Phillips
So glad I still have the butterflies before a Giants opener

Ward might be able to hold the point of attack on one edge (if he doesn't play 3-4 end), but the Titans might run at Ximines instead.
Ultimately I just want an entertaining game. I’m tired of embarrassment.

The Steelers coming out with that statement today almost validates what alot of us was thinking prior to the draft.
In these circumstances, Jones is the better QB at the helm.

Yeah rainy road game against Henry and the Titans is a pretty tough draw in week 1. By all means prove us wrong GMen!
