The highlight Sunday shall be on the standard suspects for the Giants. Daniel Jones, nonetheless making an attempt to show he will be the franchise quarterback. Saquon Barkley, coming off a disappointing 2021. Brian Daboll, in his first recreation as an NFL head coach.
However they won't be the one ones beneath scrutiny when the Giants open their season on the Titans in Nashville, Tenn.
As a byproduct of the crew’s accidents, coaching camp cuts and sheer lack of depth at sure positions, alternatives are in abundance throughout the roster, significantly early within the season. Which means there’s lots to search for past the top-line names.
The Publish breaks down 5 gamers to concentrate to towards the Titans:
WR Wan’Dale Robinson
It’s no secret that the Giants’ receiving corps is … missing. Sterling Shepard shall be again on Sunday, however Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney each drastically underproduced final season. Subsequently, it appears to be like as if the chance is there for the rookie Robinson, ought to he set up himself, to maneuver up the depth chart. The Giants spent a second-round decide on Robinson in April, so it figures that the brand new regime — one which wasn’t liable for bringing in Golladay or Toney — will give him each likelihood to shine.
Robinson, a Kentucky product, mentioned he has constructed up a powerful chemistry with Jones throughout camp.
“Really, I’ve gotten extra time with Daniel than I did with [Kentucky quarterback] Will [Levis],” Robinson informed The Publish. “We are able to actually go up to one another every time there’s something and ask one another a query with how we really feel about one thing, in order that’s actually been nice.”
CB Aaron Robinson
The Titans determine to be a navigable matchup within the passing recreation — they had been twenty fourth in passing yardage final season, with most of their offense coming by way of Derrick Henry and the run. And Tennessee has since misplaced A.J. Brown, its prime receiver in 2021. All that provides as much as an excellent likelihood for Robinson to show he deserves the beginning job reverse Adoree’ Jackson.
LB Austin Calitro
Calitro, finally, is the one who will find yourself being judged in Blake Martinez’s spot after the previous captain was lower on the finish of coaching camp. That is the primary time in Calitro’s 5 seasons wherein he’ll have the possibility to start out each recreation (he did so sporadically for Seattle in 2018 and Jacksonville in 2019), and it comes in the course of a Giants protection dotted with questions.
LG Ben Bredeson/Josh Ezeudu
We nonetheless don’t know for positive who will begin at left guard when the Giants take the sector on Sunday, as Daboll declined to reply that query earlier than follow Friday. Whomever finally ends up beginning rather than Shane Lemieux (foot damage), although, shall be strolling beneath a warmth lamp. The Giants have suffered accidents all through their line all summer time, and consequently they've misplaced an opportunity to construct up chemistry as a unit throughout camp. Largely on account of that, this won't be a simple task.
