Defense
Giants gave up 40+ points five times last season. They also alienated Chief Osi Umenyiora, their best defensive player.
On the positive side, the Defensive Coordinator has been replaced, and the Defensive Captain, who seemed to miss most of his post ticker-tape parade tackles, has retired.
Offense
Let’s hope Brandon Jacobs, stays healthy, and Eli Manning does not waste another great season.
Giants were ranked near the bottom of “Red Zone Offense” — NFL’s most important offensive statistic. How did Giants, a supposedly smart organization, try to fix this?
Offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride, hired his son, Kevin Gilbride, Junior, as an assistant Coach.
Special Teams
Sadly, Domenik Hixon, NFL’s second most productive kickoff returner last season, tore his ACL, and was placed on injured waivers.
