Some optimism.

[BlueInCanada]

Barkley, Toney, Golladay and Rudolph have been out practicing the past couple of days.

Barkley is expected to start week one, along with Toney and potentially Golladay unless his hamstring flares up.

With all the doom and gloom of this section I feel like some below comments will include "Oline" and "Who cares"

[The P]

With our o-line they will all be rendered useless anyway, so we should have IR’d them and just let this season be an audition for bottom of the roster guys. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how’d I do?

I dont like Barkley starting week 1 unless he's on a major pitch count. We have a division game 3 days later. I'd rather let him loose there with a long week before we play again to make sure he's good.

I'm surprised at just how down the football world is on the Giants.

I don't expect contention, but I think it's more likely they'll contend than Judge will be the first coach fired.

Professional overreacting. I honestly think if the OL can gel and become a semi competent unit this team wins 10 and the division.

See I feel the opposite, if you have him on a limited carry type of thing then his body isnt getting used to being tired or getting hit.

I would expect though if he's ready to go the Giants have done everything they can to ensure he's ready.

Plus I assume he's going to be "limited" in the sense that he wont tote the rock 25+ times a game.

In a normal situation I'd say the same thing, but the Washington game is a Thursday night game and far more important than Denver. I'd rather he be ready for that than a non-conference game.

I agree. I think Denver is going to be his preseason, he'll get no more than ten touches, and maybe mostly on pass attempts too.

There are some reports that he isn't cutting confidently on the knee yet.

They’re pounding the win total over at the books.  I went to the casino expecting to get it myself but -140 just isn’t worth it 

[Tempest]

I will be all the optimism this board will need for the Giants this year as we run the board with 17 wins.  I realize that some of them are going to be close (Vegas Refs) yet the Giants will prevail.

He flies like a Retro-glide buckshot, and you know he hangs like a hex on a barn.

The Oline is one thing - DJ breaking out is a whole different thing altogether. I hope the gameplanning is better this year - esp with a speedster like Toney - DJ needs to get the ball out QUICK!.....the Defense doesnt need to blitz to make it looks like a blitz against this OL. Andrew Thomas worries me - worries me a lot. But if they gel atleast in the run game - then it will take some pressure off of DJ. I think Giants take the division - honestly I think we do.
