NFL energy rankings round-up 2024: How do Giants fare coming into Week 1?

Nate Davis, USA TODAY:

Any optimism which may have been engendered by the offseason model of “Laborious Knocks” just about went out the window as quickly as QB Daniel Jones reverted to his worst skilled self throughout his preseason return.

Barry Werner, Checklist Wire:

Malik Nabers was a sensible alternative over a quarterback within the first spherical of the draft. Brian Burns will give Massive Blue followers lots of pleasure. Nonetheless, so long as they preserve dancing round deciding if Daniel Jones is the quarterback or not…Massive Blue goes to seek out bother.

Jarrett Bailey, Landing Wire:

The Giants misplaced their finest participant Saquon Barkley to the division-rival Eagles, and Xavier McKinney signed with the Packers. Sure, they traded for Brian Burns, and their defensive position is filled with expertise on paper, however their quarterback remains to be going to be Daniel Jones (or Drew Lock) and who on the earth are their talent place gamers? Don’t be shocked if 2024 is Brian Daboll’s final stand as head coach.

Dakota Randall, Professional Soccer Community:

Are the Giants the entertaining overachievers we noticed in 2022 or the inept mess we noticed in 2023? They’re most likely someplace within the center — which nonetheless means they’re a nasty workforce.

Even so, New York might win some video games if Daniel Jones bounces again and rookie receiver Malik Nabers delivers on his pre-draft hype.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting Information:

The Giants have seen extra of the shaky Daniel Jones post-major knee harm, and they’re going to nonetheless wrestle typically regardless of having Malik Nabers. Their protection will have to be an even bigger think about preserving them aggressive.

Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports activities:

The Giants are banking closely on two issues this season: Their defensive position is perhaps the most effective within the NFL, and Malik Nabers might step proper right into a 100-catch season. The remainder? It may not be very fairly. This can be a robust job for Brian Daboll, who is probably going on the new seat.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:

Should you’re a fantasy soccer nerd, it ought to be enjoyable to see what number of methods New York will manufacture touches for rookie receiver Malik Nabers, who can stretch the sector when he’s lined up on the skin or be a yards-after-the-catch risk when he performs within the slot. Should you’re a scheme nerd, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was on the slicing fringe of utilizing simulated pressures and altering up protection schemes when he known as performs underneath Mike Vrabel in Tennessee. With Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence teaming as much as cease the run and Deonte Banks main the secondary, the protection might be stingy.

Outdoors of that, although, what’s the draw to look at this workforce in 2024? Daniel Jones is in a lame-duck 12 months because the beginning quarterback, the proper aspect of the offensive line remains to be a significant situation, and there isn’t sufficient depth at operating again behind Devin Singletary to maintain Jones from taking a significant beating because the second possibility within the run sport.
