Let’s hope there’s no correlation. The last 3-4 years showed that when the first unit struggled to move the ball and score, it carried over into the season. Most of that was OL issues.
I am not really worried about how Barkley/OBJ/Eli etc do in preseason. What I want to see is good pass protection and holes to run through. Thats pretty much it for me.
I just made this comment in the "gameday" thread Â
I'd like to see some competence. In the past, I've said no way the Giants aren't going to score once the regular season started, and look what happened.
Competence. Maybe get Odell wide open because you ran a play out of a formation the defense hasn't seen before. Don't give away tendencies, obviously, but I hope they can put some drives together.
this offense was so ill prepared at the start of last season
Obviously the loss of OBJ had a lot to do with that I think
it took the wind right out of the sails .

but I kinda expect tonight's game to be a pretty ugly slog, leaving a lot of us pretty pessimistic about what the offense will look like this season.
But generally speaking, defenses out-perform offenses in the early pre-season and training camp (if they don't, you might have huge problems on your hands).
