8. Can Key Players Stay Healthy

The Giants had a slew of injuries in the 2014 season that contributed to their failure. The Giants lost three players in particular that were essential to their success. The Giants lost Geoff Schwartz, Jon Beason and the explosive Victor Cruz due to season ending injuries. Can these key players return to the Giants starting lineups? The better question is can they stay there?

Of these three players nobody is more important to the Giants right now than Schwartz. The Giants have already lost their starting left tackle in Will Beatty for 5-6 months, their right guard has never been so crucial. Schwartz is one of the best run blockers in football. Last season without him the Giants run game struggled mightily. This season he needs to stay on the field for the Giants.

Cruz returning to the offense will allow the Giants to steal the sleep of many a defensive coordinator this season. Cruz could very well be the difference between a good offense and a great offense. Beason is crucially important for the Giants. Beason provides great run defense, veteran savvy and leadership to the Giants. Beason has an injury history that has to make the Giants uneasy, especially when considering how indispensable he remains.
