What Are You Most Excited About This Year?

christian : 7/25/2024 5:20 pm
Watching the highlights from camp today, it's impossible for me not to be very excited about the talent at WR.

Everyone knows my irrational love for Slayton. He's a strong floor. That he could be the 4th receiver is a testament to the strength of the group.

From a pure talent and potential perspective, it's the most exciting unit on the team to me.

Watching DJ play with a competent line and having multiple weapons defenses have to worry about.
I am with you -  
section125 : 7/25/2024 5:41 pm : link
I am hoping the line gives DJ time to throw to these guys. Thinking back to Nicks, Cruz and Manningham - and these guys may be better.
Definitely the WR corps,  
Section331 : 7/25/2024 5:50 pm : link
but I also looking forward to seeing the D play with more physicality.
Not...

feeling like it's obvious our strategy is to hand it off 2 out of 3 times in the red zone to a open field RB who cant block.

The one thing I'd like to see, and I think it's more of a product of the play calling than ability, is Hyatt do a little more with the ball in his hands.

There aren't a 100 bombs a year available to go his way.

Between Thibs and Burns to the QB!

WRs will be fun too!
Easily the receiving corps.

And the presence of actual professional football players along the offensive line. There’s a big difference between hoping guys become pros and knowing that they’re pros.
Pass

rush. We added an elite pass rusher in Burns, and for shockingly little draft capital. I am excited to watch him play. His mere presence should also make KT better. And if Ojulari can finally stay healthy, we could finally have a decent pass rush, something we especially need because of our weakness at CB.
Hopefully Never Seeing Only 2 Defensive Linemen

in obviously running situations.

I guess Nabers. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't have much hope or enthusiasm that this team will be competing for the postseason. I fear another season all but DOA before Halloween.
Two things  
Giantgator : 7/25/2024 7:25 pm : link
The Problem Children-our 4 speedy wideouts, and Thibs and Burns making lots of sandwiches.
To see how Daboll responds  
Sean : 7/25/2024 7:35 pm : link
The best thing that can happen for NYG is for Daboll to have a big bounce back year. Then an established HC going to get a QB to link up with. I really think Daboll has a lot of potential.
Sean.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 7/25/2024 7:42 pm : link
I agree re. Dabs. Of him/Joe, I'm much more confident in the former.
 
christian : 7/25/2024 7:46 pm : link
Daboll is a savant. Losing him because of Jones would be a tragedy.

Agreed, & most likely outcome.

I would love to see Dabs with a QB of HIS choice.
Knocking the stank of last season off.

That was awful.
A winning  
Go Giants : 7/25/2024 7:59 pm : link
Season firchrissakes!
Burns  
Dankbeerman : 7/25/2024 9:05 pm : link
being the guy he is capable of being.

Also my swerve is I'm excited about our RB group. Lots of unknown youth but with exciting traits and tape.
The passing game...  
Brown_Hornet : 7/25/2024 10:03 pm : link
...both sides of the ball.

But yeah, offensively, they could be quite good.
I'm looking most forward to...

DJ making the haters look like the fools they are.

To be clear, I'm not saying you're a hater if you think Jones sucks. You're a hater if you turn half the threads on this forum into DJ sucks threads. You know who you are....
It being over

Agreed. This was a force multiplier investment in Burns. Despite having KT and Sexy, Schoen kept saying pass rush was a major need in HK. So, Burns should be expected to produce at a very high clip.
Nabers  
giantstock : 7/26/2024 12:52 am : link
G-men set themslves up to pass. Nabers is the guy if everything goes right.
My up coming  
mpinmaine : 7/26/2024 1:11 am : link
Divorce!
and pass blocking!!
A lot of excitement...  
KingBlue : 7/26/2024 8:01 am : link
A potentially cohesive OL; Our speedy wide receivers; Pass rush of KT, Burns, Sexy, a healthy Ojulari, Secondary play of Banks with rookies Nubin and Phillips. And I'm also excited to watch our RB by committee. Finally, intrigued about Dabs' play calling, motion, and impact on Jones' play.
front 7, the WRs  
djm : 7/26/2024 12:41 pm : link
and I am curious about the rookie RB. Cautious excitement.
I think the AFC races are going to be awesome  
Jerry in_DC : 7/26/2024 12:46 pm : link
So many teams going for it, some new faces, and potential bounce backs.

Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Dolphins, Texans, Jets plus whatever we get from the Chargers and Jaguars. So much competition over there.
1A - Competent O-line ....  
Manny in CA : 7/26/2024 12:51 pm : link

1B - 2024 draft class.

Most looking forward to -

* A non-shell shocked Jones making plays
* Big play offense featuring the passing game
* Ty Tracy forcing me to forget Saquon
* Defense NOT missing tackles (swarming to the ball carrier)
What has me excited is the idea of watching the Giants offence...  
Fishmanjim57 : 7/26/2024 4:51 pm : link
without relying on Barkley!
The idea of having good young WR's as targets for DJ has my attention.
I also want to watch the D take down the other QB's within the NFCE!
I love football

But no.
