The Giants could face the NFL’s best defenses in 2023

Much of the Giants’ offense in 2022 revolved around Mike Kafka scheming to attack opponents’ tendencies. It will be fascinating to see how Kafka and Daboll incorporate the new weapons to attack the defenses the Giants will face this year, as well as get everyone on the same page.

Given the caliber of defenses the Giants will play in the first part of their season — and that they’ll often be playing them on the road — they’ll need their offense to come together quickly...

The good news....they will be practicing against a pretty good defense

Wink's defense can be a top 5 defense.

It’s starting already, any other factors we should be concerned about in May?
Let’s start listening them, snow, rain and wind? Time zones to name a few.

Don't forget the disease of me. I heard it can destroy a team from within.

The teams we face will certainly present a challenge. We have a challenge within our own division. I am intrigued by the additions the giants made in the offseason, especially offense. Waller, Campbell and Hyatt will provide a much different dynamic to this offense that teams will now have to account for.

Last year, defenses played within 15 yards of the line of Scrimmage with no concern of getting beat deep. Now they will have to play the whole field. This will present a lot of options for Daniel Jones and open up holes for the running game. We are not where we want to be, but talent and speed wise, we have taken a huge step.
I love Hodgins  
Dr. D : 5/20/2023 11:05 am : link
but it's exciting to think about him being our 3rd or 4th option instead of 1st. And contrast that with where we were before Hodgins came along. Yikes!

So far, on paper at least, it looks like Schoen/Daboll and staff have done a masterful job upgrading talent, in a pretty short time. Thank you!
Very Misleading

Jets have a good defense not great. Sorry. They were very good last year except when the game was on the line. They also benefited by playing teams missing their starting QBs. At least 3 games Chicago and twice with Miami. In fact they played Miami twice with a 3rd stringer playing and only managed a split.

They could not.
For me, it all boils down to how quickly the O-Line gels.

Can Neal become a solid (at least) RT? Who'll win the battle at LG? Is JMS the real deal? I figure Daboll and Kafka are already working on how they'll deploy their new weapons, which is pretty exciting, but a top-tier O-Line would make everyone's life easier, especially DJ's.

Agreed. Reportedly, part of the reason they re-signed Slayton to decent $$$ was they thought he was getting open deep, but the OL wasn't giving DJ enough time.

They had guys open last year and couldn't get them the ball. That's not going to change unless the OL can hold up. To me, it boils down to 1 guy - Neal. Gotta have it.
