Can Durant take another step forward in 2025?
Could the New York Giants look to reinforce their defensive line again in 2026?
Rakeem Nunez-Roches will likely be a former Giant, as may be Jordon Riley and D.J. Davidson. The top of the Giants’ depth chart should be stout with Dexter Lawrence and Darrius Alexander, but their depth may once again be suspect.
If so, Zane Durant out of Penn State might already be a familiar face who’s caught their eye.
The Giants have scouted Penn State heavily in recent years, drafting Theo Johnson in 2023 and Abdul Carter in 2024....

Mark Cicio asks: Here’s a question/opinion that might sound a bit conspiracy-ish.
*What would you say if I told you I felt that Schoen/Daboll didn’t resign Barkley because they wanted to prove to John Mara that Daniel Jones was not the QB Mara thought he was, and were willing to throw away a season because they felt it was best for the future of the team? That Barkley was the reason DJ was thought to be a good QB, while knowing that Barkley can make any QB look good, and make good ones look great? Then once...

What is it, and how does a defense use it?
The New York Giants were blessed with excellent defensive tackles in recent memory. Damon “Snacks” Harrison, Leonard Williams, B.J. Hill, and Dalvin Tomlinson are former Giants who recently represented the organization well when donning blue.
Dexter Lawrence remains a Giant and is one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL. Lawrence is correctly heralded for his unique ability to generate pressure from the nose tackle position (directly over the center).
Since 2022, Dexter Lawrence has had 103 pressures from the nose tackle position alone. The next closest player...

Can Terrell be a first-round cornerback?
The New York Giants are in a curious position as far as their roster and future draft needs are concerned.
They have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, which could be considered a strength or a weakness. On one hand, if everything comes together, they should have a deep and talented core of players for years to come. On the other hand, development isn’t certain and the team could find themselves in need of players at multiple positions if the youngsters can’t step up.
Starting corner Deonte Banks is one of those...

The Giants’ offense should be more explosive, but how much more?
The Fourth of July is Friday.
If you aren’t an American, that’s usually just the day between the third and fifth of July. But if you’re an American, the Fourth of July is Independence Day and usually celebrated with grilled meats, beer, and explosions.
And in that vein we wanted to know if the Big Blue View community believes that the Giants’ offense will be more explosive in 2025.
The answer was, generally speaking, “Yeah, at least a bit.”
The positive takeaway here is that 94 percent of fans...

Here is one opinion
There has been a great deal of discussion this offseason about whether Shane Bowen is the right defensive coordinator to take full advantage of the personnel upgrades the New York Giants made on that side of the ball this offseason.
Pro Football and Sports Network has weighed in on how it ranks Bowen in relation to his peers, and it’s not great. PFSN has Bowen, entering his second season with the Giants, ranked No. 23 among defensive coordinators.
PFSN says:
The New York Giants were unremarkable in Shane Bowen’s first season as their defensive coordinator,...

Schmitz has yet to play up to second-round draft status
There will come a day when the New York Giants offensive line isn’t a significant concern.
Today, however, is not that day.
The Giants had hoped that John Michael Schmitz would step in and solidify their center position early in his career. He was widely considered one of the top two center prospects in his draft class, and a potential first round talent. And while he’s flashed that upside, he has yet to consistently live up to his potential.
The Giants sorely need Schmitz to reach that potential and solidify...

After drafting Jaxson Dart, a ranking from SB Nation’s Windy City Gridiron puts the Giants in the bottom third
The New York Giants quarterback situation was ranked 23rd by Bill Zimmerman of Windy City Gridiron. The ranking system was based on the team’s quarterback outlook for the next five years. Age, talent, contract, and the team's support system were all considered.
Here is Zimmerman’s reasoning:
23. New York Giants- Jaxson Dart (22)
Dart was a climber in this year’s draft, and he seems to be embracing New York well, which not all prospects do. Dart has good...

Thanks to a provocative mailbag question, we take a look
The New York Giants have a few new signal-callers for the 2025 NFL season. Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson is the most established of the trio (Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart), but Wilson’s time outside of Seattle was not consistent.
Gary Bolduc sent an email to our Big Blue View mailbag that Ed passed to me. His email read...
When I think of what should be expected from Wilson this year I agree that it most likely is better QB play than the Giants had from Jones last...
