Beitrag Giants-Jets: 7 things we learned in victory by Giants EAST
http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-connor-barwin-jersey , N.J. — What did we learn Friday night as the New York Giants defeated the New York Jets 22-16 in NFL preseason action? Let’s take a look.Maybe we should worry about Jonathan StewartThree carries for -7 yards. A costly fumble on first-and-goal at the Jets’ 6-yard line. His best run of the night went for a yard. I have been preaching patience with the 11-year veteran, but he now has 10 preseason carries for -9 yards and now I think it might be time to be alarmed. I turned to someone in the press box Friday night and said Stewart looked like a slow-moving glacier. That’s not a good thing for an NFL running back.Hunter Sharp had a good night ... and a bad oneA week after muffing a punt and fumbling a kickoff, Sharp showed his skills with a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown. The play was beautifully blocked, with the finisher a terrific block from Ray-Ray Armstrong. Sharp sealed the touchdown with a perfectly delivered stiff arm to shed the final Jet defender who had a chance to make a play.Unfortunately, as a receiver Sharp had a tough night. He dropped two perfect Eli Manning passes, both of which were third-down throws that would have resulted in first downs. He and Manning also appeared to have a miscommunication on a throw in the end zone, with Sharp breaking to the inside and Manning throwing to the outside.So, a mixed bag. Let’s not put Sharp on the 53-man roster just yet.Hunter Sharp celebrates a punt return touchdown.Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY SportsFirst-team offensive line a mixed bagThere were both good and bad signs from the Giants starting offensive line on Friday night.The good — The pass protection was outstanding. Eli Manning was never sacked in 23 drop backs, was hit only once and was comfortable in the pocket throughout the first half. That’s a big part of why he was able to go 17-of-23 (73.9 percent completion rate) for 188 yards.The bad — The run-blocking was non-existent. Jonathan Stewart (3 carries, -7 yards) and Wayne Gallman (6 carries, 8 yards) combined for 1 solitary yard in their 9 rushing attempts. Stewart’s problems — and there definitely appear to be some — aside there weren’t any holes and there were too many Jets defenders in the backfield.Sam Darnold is going to be good The Jets’ rookie quarterback showed a lot of good things Friday night. He led a game-opening 75-yard touchdown drive, which included a 14-yard run for a first down. He ended his night 8-of-16 for 86 yards and a touchdown, throwing several beautiful touch passes along the way. If Darnold is their Week 1 starter you can bet the Jets will play things a little tight to the vest http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-ray-ray-armstrong-jersey , but the 21-year-old showed plenty for Jets fans to be excited about.It’s still Kerry Wynn’s worldThe veteran defensive end, outstanding in the first two preseason games, continued his excellent play. He had a sack, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit and very nearly made a diving interception of a tipped pass.Hey, look what good blocking can do Eli Manning was never sacked. He was hit just once that I can recall. He stood comfortably in the pocket most of the night, not having to move around to find throwing lanes or avoid being pounded. That had to have a lot to do with Manning going 17-of-23 for 188 yards. Take away the drops by Sharp and Manning’s night looks even that much better. Amazing what Manning’s 37-year-old arm can still accomplish when he has time to do it.Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY SportsDave Gettleman must be feeling goodThe Giants general manager, currently in remission in a fight with lymphoma, was at Friday’s game. Gettleman wandered through the press box before the game, looking good and talking to a number of people. He also came through the locker room after the game.Yeah, the Giants hat on his head looked goofy, but it was still good to see that the GM felt good enough deal with the crowds.Remission or not, we know Gettleman’s fight isn’t over. We continue to wish him the best. The Minnesota Vikings http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-b.j.-goodson-jersey , who are running out of time before the regular season begins for rehabilitating center Pat Elflein to return, took a step toward protecting themselves by acquiring center Brett Jones in a trade with the New York Giants for a draft pick.The deal, which is contingent on Jones passing a physical exam, was announced on Sunday. The Vikings didn't disclose the selection, but NFL Media reported it's a seventh-round choice in 2019.The trade was made hours after coach Mike Zimmer said Elflein would not be ready to practice with the team this week, with the second-year starter still working his way back from offseason surgeries on his ankle and shoulder."He's going to practice when he's ready to go," Zimmer said. "I don't know when that's going to be."Elflein was placed on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp, but Zimmer said he didn't believe Elflein would land on the reserve PUP list next weekend when 53-man rosters must be established around the league. In that case, a player must sit out the first six weeks before he can resume practicing or playing.Elflein was a third-round draft pick out of Ohio State last year. Cornelius Edison has taken his place with the first-team offense for now. Nick Easton took the spot when camp began, but he was diagnosed with a herniated disk in his neck and scheduled for season-ending surgery. That injury hit doubly hard, because Easton was in line to start at left guard for a second straight year.Conveniently, Jones made his first career NFL start for the Giants at left guard in 2016. The 6-foot-2, 312-pound Jones started 13 games for the Giants last season at center http://www.authenticsnewyorkgiants.com/cheap-kerry-wynn-jersey , but he fell behind Jon Halapio on the depth chart in training camp .John Greco has played well enough to gain the team's trust as the backup. So the Giants, who are tight against the cap, dealt Jones and his $2.914 million salary to the Vikings."He's one of my favorite guys, and he's going to a really good place," said Giants head coach Pat Shurmur, who was the offensive coordinator for the Vikings last year. "With their situation in the offensive line, he's going to have a chance to compete to maybe be their starter."Jones was actually pulled off the practice field on Sunday when the trade was made."We're going to make decisions based on what's best for our team," Shurmur said. "I like all the players that we have out here, and I want them all to have success."Jones, a native of Canada who attended Regina University in Saskatchewan, was the CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award winner in 2014, his second season with the Calgary Stampeders. He signed with the Giants in 2015.
