Hey Giants fans, this is Charlotte Carroll and Dan Duggan, your New York Giants beat writers at The Athletics. After months of buildup, including a fascinating look back at the team courtesy of “Hard Knocks,” it’s finally time to kick off the season.
We’ll have you covered on all things Giants, including analysis of the pivotal third year of the Joe Schoen/Brian Daboll regime. Will the GM and coach be back next season? To answer that question, we’ll first have to find out: Has the offensive line finally held up after a decade of disappointment? How did quarterback Daniel Jones fare in his return from a torn ACL? Did the Brian Burns trade give the Giants defense a needed jolt? And speaking of shakeups, did No. 6 pick Malik Nabers inject the juice this offense desperately needed?
Join us as we document the season, including a very exciting trip to Germany in Week 10. You’ll get everything from Dan’s detailed roster analysis to Charlotte’s highlights and everything in between.
