Last season was a depressing time to be a fan of the NY Giants. However, after multiple changes to the front office, roster, and coaching staff, there is hope in the air once again. While these changes may not have an immediate effect on the success of the team. A lot of these changes may bring the entertainment value of the team up.
I believe that the combination of young players and new coaching staff could bring a lot of entertainment to next season. Regardless of how the team’s record pans out. Here are three reasons why fans should be excited about the Giants next season.
NY Giants: 3. New offensive scheme
Last season, the Giants may have been the most painful team to watch in the entire NFL. This is mostly due to incompetent play calling from both Jason Garrett and Freddie Kitchens. However, this season brings a new offensive scheme that seems like it could be very exciting.
The combination of Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka seems very promising in terms of an offensive scheme. When you add in the dynamic playmakers currently on the Giants roster, such as Kadarius Toney, Saquon Barkley, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Kenny Golladay. There is a ton of potential to finally have a competent offense.
In addition to the coaching staff, the Giants also revamped their once putrid offensive line. Likely giving Daniel Jones more time to throw, and Saquon Barkley more room to run. If the offensive line pans out like it seems it will, there is a good chance the Giants’ offense looks elite next season.
We have seen what Daniel Jones can do when he has time to throw the ball and has his weapons. If the team around him can stay healthy, there is a good chance he has a breakout season, and looks like he was worthy of the number 6 overall pick that was used on him.
NY Giants: 2. Dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball
Something the Giants missed desperately last season were dynamic players on both offense and defense. This was mostly due to injury, as Kadarius Toney, Saquon Barkley, and Kenny Golladay missed significant time due to said injuries.
This season the Giants will have all of these playmakers back, plus some new additions to the team like Wan’Dale Robinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux. When you combine this with the new offensive scheme I mentioned before, there is a good chance that this Giants offense looks very exciting.
We have seen what Saquon Barkley and Kadarius Toney are capable of when they have the ball in their hands. When you add in another dynamic playmaker like Wan’Dale Robinson? That’s a recipe for excitement if you ask me.
On the defensive side of the ball, Kayvon Thibodeaux is likely to be one of the premier edge rushers in the league early on in his career. Putting him opposite Azeez Ojulari, who had a very promising rookie season, could make for one of the deadliest pass-rushing duos in the NFL for a long time.
NY Giants: 1. Promising young talent
This probably has me the most excited about the Giants next season. Something that cannot be doubted. Some of these players include Saquon Barkley, Kadarius Toney, Wan’Dale Robinson, Evan Neal, Xavier McKinney, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari, etc.
All of these players are full of potential and should make this season very fun to watch regardless of how the team’s record pans out. The combination of young players and solid proven veterans like Mark Glowinski and Leonard Williams should make for a fun season to watch. It is known that this Giants team has a ton of talent.
The only real question is, can this team stay healthy, and can they work together under the new coaching staff? I believe that this team will mesh very well together. The only thing that has me worried is player health. As that has been a huge downfall of the Giants for quite some time now.
