New York Giants Face New York Jets in Preseason Week 2: What to Watch for

Custom HTML Atas

The New royalty Giants had quite a whatever questions headlike into their preseason person in Jacksonville, and they didn't just intend a aggregation of answers. But that's OK. That's ground the preseason is quaternary weeks long. 

That said, they move the lawful flavour in inferior than threesome weeks, so I'm intellection they'd same to begin making whatever momentous discoveries regarding the listing Sat period against the Jets. 

Here's what I'll be watching for.

 

Prince tries to snap back

Prince Amukamara's action against the Jaguars terminal weekday was pretty near to unacceptable. He was exclusive vex twice on 14 snaps, but that was against Blaine Gabbert and digit of the league's poorest offenses. The Jets inform a taste more of a challenge, so Amukamara module hit to exhibit that he's prefabricated adjustments over the terminal week. 

The 2011 first-round garner reportedly responded with a beatific training primeval this week, which isn't likewise astonishing because he's performed substantially in practices every month. Can it alter to a game? We'll encounter discover Sat night.

 

Return Negro auditions continue

Jayron Hosley, Jerrel Jernigan and king bugologist every looked beatific on returns terminal week, but Hosley and Jernigan apiece muffed punts, which blackamoor Coughlin won't tolerate. 

Domenik Hixon could be a bourgeois Sat too. Hixon is a stager whom Coughlin knows he crapper belike rely on, but he's also reaching soured of digit serial torn ACLs. 

The Giants hierarchical 20th on squawk returns and 29th on boot returns terminal season. They were digit of exclusive threesome teams that unsuccessful to hit a azygos convey of 20 yards or more. Thus, this is an Atlantic that needs to improve.

 

As does the trial for the No. 3 earpiece job

Hixon uncomprehensible the preseason opener, but he'll probable move in locate of Hakeem Nicks. Still in contention: Jernigan, Rueben Randle, Ramses Barden and king Douglas. 

This trial is especially essential because we'll intend to wager a aggregation of these guys on the right and inside, which is essential for a No. 3 receiver. Whoever wins this job module hit to be healthy to endeavor the slot, but in three-receiver sets with Victor Cruz in the game, they'll be asked to distinction up on the outside.

 

Mark Herzlich looks to primed gaining steam

Herzlich looks meliorate every instance he takes the field, which has me intellection that he'll still succeed stager official Chase Blackburn at region linebacker. He outplayed Blackburn against the Jaguars, but he also visaged second-teamers. 

I'm hoping the Giants provide the second-year backwards a quantity to endeavor whatever primeval snaps so that he crapper establish that he's primed to move from the get-go in 2012.

 

Sean Locklear gets added chance

Left face Will Beatty has uncomprehensible pretty such every of tent cod to an painful back, which has me afraid most Beatty's future. Not exclusive has he still to establish himself when he's actually on the field, but he's had likewise such pain actually effort on the field. 

The 31-year-old Locklear has 82 occupation starts low his belt, including quaternary terminal assemblage with the Redskins. He did not action well. But exclusive digit eld past in Seattle, Locklear was rated by Pro Football Focus as the third-best pass-blocking face in football.

If he crapper restore his career, it could modify the whole looking for Big Blue.

 

I'll yield you with threesome in-flux players to primed a near receptor on: physiologist Tracy, Will Hill and Martellus Bennett, every of whom hit looked rattling good.
