The New York Giants enter 2022 as the second fiddle football team in New York to the intriguing Jets. QB Daniel Jones has presided over the second-worst offense in the league over the past two seasons, leading to many questions about him keeping a starting job. In addition, the excitement of Saquon Barkley being a top running back in the NFL left the building over the past two seasons. When adding in a disappointing investment in WR Kenny Golladay, New York looks closer to a No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft than a postseason berth. On the positive side, a new coaching staff should cleanse the losing smell in the locker room. On the positive side, the Giants’ star players still have high ceilings and the talent to reinvent their careers with healthy seasons.
Offense
With some quick math, the difference between the Giants’ offense and the 2021 NFC East division-leading Dallas Cowboys was 1,931 yards and 272 points. New York needs to run the ball better and control the game with better defensive play.
