Giants In Focus: Hall of Fame Game PFF Ratings

Conclusion

There are no conclusions to be drawn from 60 minutes of introductory football, but the areas for concern and confidence are unmistakable:

1. The offensive line as a whole played to -6.6 pass block and -5.3 run block ratings. Not to mention PFF was generous on there Justin Pugh and Charles Brown pass block #’s. Bright spots were few and far between.
2. If Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams aren’t ambushed in the backfield, both possess the patience, vision and sneaky lightness on their feet to carve out gains.
3. The lanky wide receivers play with pizzazz and purpose. Keep running Marcus Harris and Corey Washington out there. Lord knows we need playmakers.
4. Linebacker corps thwarted the run and was excellent covering in space. The unit looked strong from top to bottom on the depth chart.
5. Maybe Jay Bromley wasn’t a reach after all? The rook looked like a man amongst boys at the core of the line, albeit against Buffalo’s deep backups.
6. CB Jayron Hosley is playing his way off this roster with each passing coverage snap he takes.

The Giants have four preseason games and seven training camp practices remaining. Plenty of time for evaluation, but that doesn’t necessarily make decisions any easier. It’s on the coaches and personnel staff to shake this roster down to 75 by August 27th. We don’t envy their position… but they’d be well served to examine PFF grades. And don’t think for a second they do not.
