Can the NY Giants linebacker upgrades transform their defense?

Can the NY Giants linebacker upgrades transform their defense?

It was a surprise to some that first-year New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh wanted to tinker with the roster rather than engage in a wholesale rebuild.

And for the most part, the roster was not overhauled this year. There was, perhaps, more churn than usual for an NFL team, but that’s to be expected with a new coach. But there were a few positions where there was a major change.

The linebacker position is the obvious exception to that statement, as pointed out by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan in ESPN’s poll of the NFC beat writers.

The upgrade...

NFC East Grades: Where do the Giants stack up at wide receiver?

NFC East Grades: Where do the Giants stack up at wide receiver?

The New York Giants are getting ready for training camp, along with the rest of the NFC East. This is the second offensive position group in the NFC East Grading series. After the first offensive grading – tight ends – the Eagles had 17 points, with the Giants having 16, Dallas having 14, and Washington earning 13 points.

How does it work, you may ask? It’s VERY complicated! The best positional group is assigned four points, and the “worst” receives one point. Let’s talk about the wide receivers in the NFC East!

Survey: John Michael Schmitz most likely Giant to get second contract

Survey: John Michael Schmitz most likely Giant to get second contract

The New York Giants are in an interesting place as we look ahead to training camp.

They have a roster that is young and has players in their prime entrenched at each of the cornerstone positions. The Giants also have the potential to boast youth and excellent depth throughout their roster — if they can get a few draft picks to fully pay off.

Every team says that they want to build through the draft, but that’s easier said than done. Not only does it mean properly developing draft picks into the type of player you want to build your...

Which players would the Giants ‘draft’ from current NFL rosters to win it all this season?

Which players would the Giants ‘draft’ from current NFL rosters to win it all this season?

During this slow part of the seemingly year-round NFL season, writers need something to keep fans and themselves engaged. Chad Reuter, an NFL.com draft analyst, does a yearly “mock draft,” not of college prospects, but of players already on NFL rosters. Everyone is available, and the only criterion is that each team’s draft is intended to give the team the best chance of winning the Super Bowl this year. No prospects with bright futures but with development needed, just guys you could put out there right now to give you the best chance of bringing home a ring come next...

New York Giants mailbag: Cornerbacks, Eli Manning, Joe Schoen, more

*Brennan Lyons asks: After reading your recent article on Paulson Adebo, in which you attribute his down year to, basically, two main possibilities (an opinion shared by several other writers). One is the style of play – aggressive man vs. zone. The other is following the best WR across both sides of the line. You point out that he predominantly played LCB in NO when he posted two very good years. This begs the question – what are the “preferences” of our other CBs, especially the other big three starting candidates (Newsome, Banks & Hood)? In short, which one do...

The standard by which John Harbaugh wants his New York Giants to be judged was set forth in the opening statement of his introductory news conference as head coach six months ago.

The NY Giants ‘improved in every facet’ this offseason

The NY Giants ‘improved in every facet’ this offseason

The period form early June to late July is the NFLs only true “off-season”. This is the time of year when no news is good news, and nothing of consequence should be happening.

And while that leaves (hopefully) us bereft of real news regarding the New York Giants, the lack of a daily or weekly grind does give us a chance to step back and look at the NFL as a whole.

Matt Okada of NFL.com offered his offseason grades for every NFL team. He has the Giants setting the bell curve and gives the Giants the only “A+” in...

NY Giants news: GM Joe Schoen’s contract extension length revealed

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen won’t be going anywhere for a while yet.

We found out a while ago that Schoen, who was in the final year of the five-year deal he signed in 2022, signed a contract extension. However, we hadn’t yet learned the terms of the deal. Giants’ insider extraordinaire Gary Myers learned, and revealed, the length of the deal on Thursday.

The Giants were adamant that Schoen would remain the Giants GM after John Harbaugh was hired as the Giants’ new head coach. Even so, there were some who believed that Schoen would be fired...

Who are the best Giants from each region of the country?

Normally, we like to say that “Football is back!” once the New York Giants training camp open in late July, but, there is football being played in America this summer.

Well, the rest of the world calls it football.

The US Men’s National Team took down Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to the round of 16, where they’ll face Belgium.

(I assume this was a dominant defensive performance to not only shut out the other team, but to win with a safety.)

What do advanced stats tell us about Jaxson Dart’s rookie season passing?

What do advanced stats tell us about Jaxson Dart’s rookie season passing?

As Ed discussed earlier in the week, it’s no surprise that Jaxson Dart was his choice as the most important Giant entering the 2026 season. In that post Ed referenced a film study by Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic about Dart’s pros and cons. This week Pro Football Focus released their 2026 NFL QB Annual, which provides a ton of advanced stats for every QB in the league who played at least 200 dropbacks and allows us to compare Dart to his competitors.

You don’t need PFF to tell you that Dart was a massive asset running the ball, whether...
