Good morning, New York Giants fans!
'Great instincts' help Cor’Dale Flott transition to NFL | Giants.com
Former Giants cornerback Corey Raymond joined the Giants Huddle podcast to discuss coaching Cor'Dale Flott.
"Him being a smart player allowed him to do different things," said Raymond, who was hired as Florida's assistant head coach/cornerbacks this off-season after a decade with LSU, his alma mater. "He picks up defenses well. He understands a lot of different things that are happening out there. He has great instincts. He has an understanding of the game. He has all those attributes that are going to help him."
Strengths, weaknesses and X factors for every starting lineup | PFF
PFF's ranks the biggest strength for the Giants as their defensive lines, the once-deep veteran secondary that has thinned considerably over the past year as their biggest weakness and wide receiver Kadarius Toney as the team's X-factor.
NFL 2022 MVP odds: Josh Allen’s the favorite, but a longshot Giant is mentioned | The Athletic
Allen is the favorite at 7 to 1, according to BetMGM. After leading the Bengals to the Super Bowl, Joe Burrow (12-1) could be poised for an MVP run. Or maybe Matt Ryan rediscovers his 2016 form. Giants running back Saquon Barkley is spotlighted, with odds of 250-1.
"If you squint really, really hard, you could make a case for Saquon Barkley at those huge odds. He is a highlight machine who is finally healthy, in great shape and plays in a huge media market that will crown him over Daniel Jones if the Giants win," writes Vic Tafur.
Every NFC team’s best contract: | PFF
The Giants have had a revolving door along their interior offensive line the past several years, and they went out and got a known commodity in G Mark Glowinski to line up next to first-round rookie Evan Neal at right tackle. During Glowinski’s four years with the Indianapolis Colts, he earned grades above 60.0 in each season, with 64.0-plus run-blocking grades to boot. He provides a solid veteran presence on a young offensive line, much like he did with the Colts’ young and talented group over the past few seasons.
Overvalued players on every NFC team | CBSSports.com
Kenny Golladay was one of the most sought after free agents in 2021, and it was Big Blue who successfully wooed him to their team, but they didn't get anything close to what they're paying for in his first campaign in New York. Inconsistency has been one of the biggest clouds surrounding Golladay over the course of his NFL career, having two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume but also [now] three that didn't come close.
2022 NFL head coach rankings: Reid reigns supreme, McVay overtakes Belichick | CBSSports.com
Giants head coach Brian Daboll was ranked No. 22 overall and the second for rookies head coaches. Cody Benjamin wrote:
"Until settling in as QB Josh Allen's top tutor in Buffalo, Daboll never lasted more than two seasons as an offensive coordinator, anywhere. But you can't overlook the way he helped tailor the Bills' attack to Allen's dual-threat strengths, and his history with Alabama and the Patriots at least hints at head-coaching-level resolve. Now, how quickly can he find or groom star power at QB in New York, where the lineup is closer to rebuilding than contending?"
