Despite a rocky start to his New York Giants career, left guard Will Hernandez quickly turned himself around and looks to be on the cusp of being an elite player along the Giants’ offensive front. Big Blue drafted Hernandez in the second round (No. 34 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft and may have found themselves a real gem. Now, it’s hard to say that Hernandez could be the best player that comes out of that draft with running back Saquon Barkley being the team’s first-round selection,...
The New York Giants‘ receiving corps has been completely rebuilt in the 2019 NFL offseason. The Giants traded away their best wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., then replaced him with Golden Tate. They also extended Sterling Shepard, solidifying Shep and Tate as their primary receivers. With those two receiver positions solidified, the Giants need to figure out their third receiver position. They have a plethora of options to choose from, including Corey Coleman, Darius Slayton, and Cody...
John Schmeelk of Giants.com joins the show to break down what we learned
The New York Giants have wrapped up their offseason program, and players have now scattered for the summer. We’re still here producing daily Giants content, though, and on our latest podcast John Schmeelk of Giants.com joins us to break down the offseason.

Whether you are a big believer in the usefulness of analytics in football or not, or in Pro Football Focus itself, the discussion provides a fantastic window into analytics in the NFL.

Anyone who saw even a single play courtesy of New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley in 2018 could recognize just how remarkably talented he is. But is Saquon even better than we already think? If you were to ask Brian Baldinger, he would answer that question with a resounding yes. Baldinger, a retired offensive lineman and current NFL analyst, took another extended look at Barkley’s film over the weekend and found a few overlooked gems that truly detail the freakish athleticism of...

Good morning, New York Giants fans!Daniel Jones won over a lot of critics in the spring:
NFL analyst Brian Baldinger loves to watch Will Hernandez block. He said the Giants “struck gold” with Hernandez and Saquon Barkley, and provided several examples of Hernandez clearing the way for the running back. “Kudos” to nj.com for the find.

Entering the 2019 NFL Draft with a 4th round projection, the New York Giants managed to grab cornerback Corey Ballentine in the 6th. The Washburn product has solid NFL talent – speed, strength, and length. Ballentine was in a shooting incident immediately after being drafted – he was forced out for a few weeks but has since returned with a full bill of health. An explosive, NFL-caliber athlete, Corey is quick in space and can mirror routes against talented receivers. His long arms dangle...
Good Morning, New York Giants Fans! The decision to trade Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns was a good one by New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman. Vernon’s inability to stay on the field and remain healthy hurt the team, especially when you consider his hefty price-tag. Gaining right guard Kevin Zeitler in the trade benefits the Giants in more than one way, making the trade a success. However, losing a premium edge-rusher hurts the defense. Gettleman went out and drafted...
The New York Giants did not coddle sophomore quarterback Kyle Lauletta this offseason, letting him know that Daniel Jones was coming in as Eli Manning’s eventual heir, but encouraging him to keep working hard just the same. Rather than closing the door on Lauletta’s future, the Giants told him to let his talent and on-field play do the talking, and from there, the chips will fall where they may. “After the draft they just told me, ‘Don’t worry about that … just do your job,'”...
The New York Giants have had some pretty good centers in their history from Mel Hein, Ray Wietecha and Greg Larson to Bart Oates, Brian Williams and Shaun O’Hara. Their current group hopes to produce another solid long term option for the future. It’s no secret that the New York Giants’ offensive line has been […] Suddenly, the New York Giants are deep at center - GMEN HQ - GMEN HQ - A NY Giants Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.
The offensive line will be a different one this year for the New York Giants, but it looks like center Jon Halapio will remain the starter, which is where he was last season before an injury cut his year short after only a few games. Halapio was ruled out for the year, which would be a punch to the gut for any player but especially one such as him, who was previously a journeyman who had trouble even staying in the NFL at all. Halapio managed to go from that to the starting center of the...
Looking at one way defensive coordinators can help their players make plays
Mini-camp and OTAs may be over, but Summer School is still in session, and will be until the New York Giants’ training camp begins in July.
Last time we looked at how misdirection can help the offense, so this time we are going to look at how disguising intentions and creating confusion can help the defense.
In an ideal world the defense would be able to field four (or five, depending on down, distance, and...
Veteran has size, speed, special teams ability
When it comes to depth behind wide receivers Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard, the New York Giants have a lot of intriguing options. Rookie fifth-round pick Darius Slayton opened some eyes with an impressive spring. Corey Coleman and his blazing speed should benefit from a full offseason with the Giants. Bennie Fowler had a good spring. Russell Shepard is a core special teams player. Undrafted free agent Reggie White Jr. flashed some promise in...

At the end of losing seasons, teams are often scrambling to field 53-man rosters. Such was the case for the New York Giants last season, and it’s how safety Kenny Ladler ended up with the team.

Jones, Ximines only unsigned draft picks
The New York Giants Friday announced that defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and cornerback DeAndre Baker – two of their three first-round draft choices – have signed their rookie contracts. The team has now signed eight of its 10 selections in the 2019 draft.
The two players who have yet to conclude their contract negotiations are quarterback Daniel Jones, the sixth overall choice, and Oshane Ximines, the outside linebacker selected in the third...

Veteran tackle a depth option for Giants
The New York Giants hoped veteran defensive tackle John Jenkins would provide solid depth when they acquired him at the beginning of last season. Jenkins, though, played little during the course of the 2018 season.
It might be considered a bit surprising then that the Giants re-signed Jenkins this offseason. Can he make the 53-man roster this time around, and perhaps have more of an impact than he did a year ago? Let’s take a look as we continue...
