This team has all the ingredients they need to get back to “Giant football.” Physicality on both sides of the ball. Emphasis on the run game. A dangerous pass rush. And a head coach who knows what the hell he’s doing.
The Giants are actual giants. Harbaugh has made a concerted effort to be “big”. He wants teams to know they are playing one of the bigger teams in the league. Dart has to keep getting better and being available is number one for that to happen. Will Nabers be ready to open the season? How long will it take until he’s back to “Leeeek”? I have no faith Skats plays an entire season without an injury. He also isn’t going to break off 50 yarders. Tracy is a good back and has produced 1,000 yards from scrimmage every year in the league. I’d like to see “turbo” climb the backfield roster. Guy is lightning. I think a real bell cow is needed on this roster but that can be addressed next year. I believe the D will be ferocious on the pass rush but the secondary needs guys to be better than last year. Luckily, I don’t think Harbs will allow players to take “plays off”. Special teams seems to be fixed too with the punter they signed to the biggest contract ever for that position and the rookie Zvada seems to have won the kicking duties unless they bring in someone else. Aubrey from Dallas is who anyone should aspire to and Zvada supposedly has a big leg. This team had leads against some really good teams last year so they can score. Just need to close the games. I think a wildcard spot is possible if everything breaks right. Otherwise a 7-9 win team is what I’m expecting.
Agreed - and special teams is always the hidden factor for any team. The Giants have been awful in this department. That should get corrected quickly all the way around with Harbaugh...
