10 NY Giants training camp talking points for fans to focus on
• Will there be a surprise cut or two over the next couple of weeks?
1. Can the offensive line gel together at a high level?
It goes without saying, but one of the biggest weaknesses for the Giants last year was the offensive line play. Left tackle Andrew Thomas took home Second Team All-Pro honors, but outside of AT, the group as a whole looked rough. Evan Neal, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was far too inconsistent.
The same thing could be said for the others up front, expect for Thomas, of course. Entering camp, the starting five is expected to be: left tackle Thomas, left guard Ben Bredeson, center Schmitz, right guard Mark Glowinski and right tackle Neal. For Neal, he's going to hope to silence everyone doubting him.
His debut campaign in the NFC East was not what people were hoping to see. However, he has been working around the clock this offseason. Neal displayed a great body transformation, while he made changes to his technique as well. If Neal can play to his potential, then it's only going to make Jones' life easier in '23.
