• Opening Day Letdown: Giants force-feed Nabers, miss key chances

  The Giants opened their season with a disappointing loss in Washington. Both Carl Banks and Bob Papa highlighted a feeling of déjà vu; this game felt eerily similar to struggles from last year. The Giants’ offense never found a consistent rhythm, and issues from the preseason, especially struggles on the offensive line, proved costly, allowing significant pressure on new QB Russell Wilson and making it difficult to establish the run. There was a heavy emphasis on getting the ball to rookie Malik Nabers, but he couldn’t capitalize on a couple of key opportunities, dropping passes that could’ve changed the momentum. 00:00:00 Giants season opener disappointment, team energy 00:01:00 Malik Nabers issues 00:05:10 Big plays, difference makers, red zone/goal line issues 00:10:30 Dan Quinn’s defensive familiarity/problems for Giants 00:13:20 Interior O-Line struggles, running game, pressure on Russell Wilson 00:15:25 Offensive line needs to improve, group continuity 00:19:05 Giants defense: Shane Bowen’s plan, missed opportunities, run defense 00:20:15 Poor second down defense, missed tackles/leverage, long conversions allowed 00:25:20 Zone coverage technique/rerouting WRs, coverage philosophy 00:30:18 Run defense issues quantified—220 yards given up 00:33:49 Leverage failures, fundamentals review 00:36:23 Upcoming matchup preview: Dallas, what needs to improve 00:37:40 Defensive substitution issues, missed leverage, correcting mistakes 00:38:57 Personnel vs. technique, improvement potential, disrupting receivers 00:43:15 Summary: playing on their terms vs. opponent’s terms 00:43:54 Cowboys preview, interior O-Line again a target for opponents Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
