Carl Banks: hurrr duuurrr it's preseason so they're keeping it vanilla... Yeah cuz who wants to see four plays on a deive, right?

Dunno what's been wrong with me the past few years... oh, that's right, the NFL has been putting out a shittier product every year and I care about football a lot less... but I've decided to start another bold predictions thread this year. I'm on a lunch break so fuck it. Those of you who have been here for a while remember this used to be an annual thing. As always, I've predicted everything 100% correctly all the time with 100% accuracy, so you can all take these bold predictions to the bank. Anyways, my bold predictions: 1. Daniel Jones doesn't take a meaningful rep all year. Eli has historically been at his best with a good offensive line and everyone saying how he needs to be replaced. This year, he has a terrific O-line and everyone is saying how we need to start Daniel Jones. Expect Eli to put up career numbers and the Giants will have a QB controversy headed into the offseason. 2. C.J. Conrad is the starting TE by week ten. I like Evan Engram but he does one thing. Conrad does three things, and does them really well. He's also lighting it up in camp and has been compared favorably to Jason Witten. When Engram starts his "nagging injuries are keeping me off the field' schtick, expect Conrad to slide into that position and not let it go. 3. Saquon Barkley leads the league in yards from scrimmage... again. He'll be in the running for MVP, but the league will give it to Pat Mahomes and his six zillion passing yards or Tom Baby when he cries that he didn't get it. Saquon really deserves it however, as there is no #1 receiver to take the heat off of him. 4. Lorenzo Carter makes everyone forget about whoever that guy we traded to Cleveland was. He's going to finish with double-digit sacks this seasons and will take a gigantic leap forward into being a near household-name. Dude looks like a monster so far. 5. The Giants will have a top-5 secondary during the second half of the season. Jenkins continues to play pretty well, Baker takes the 2nd CB job and doesn't let it go, Love and Haley make great slot corners, and even Ballentine and Sam Beal prove to be great players when they see the field. I wouldn't even be surprised if Jenkins is traded by midseason. Bonus - Giants just miss the playoffs at 9-7, but the arrow is pointing up with great play from a lot of youngsters and 100 million in cap room next season.

Maybe every TE in the league won't have a career day against us this year!

I like this story, but I'll like it more in August 2020.

If you wanna pay 14 mil per season to a one-dimensional safety I guess you could have.

Also if Kevin Killdrive didn't decide to pass the ball 40 times in 35 mph winds to try and impress Al Davis, we'd probably have another trophy.

Safety, moneybacker, whatever... personally I'm looking forward to Engram and Conrad lined up across from Collins for the next three years.

Barkley, Lawrence, DBs, etc. I have to admit though early reviews have me really excited to check out Lorenzo Carter. Dude has been lighting it up in camp.

Don't get me wrong man, I read the same story this morning and had no doubt where you got it from... but if I'm the brand new HC of the Dolphins, I'm telling both QBs it's an open competition until at least the third preseason game... unless Rosen is doing something crazy like punching teammates or fucking my wife. It's not like Fitzpatrick has two rings or has had any sustained success in the league. Sounds like Flores is trying to uphold the proud Miami/Ex Pats assistant tradition of being out of the league in two years.

Might as well not even bother with preseason games then huh? One week into camp and their QB situation is all set.

Chip on his shoulder better not be too big... dude has a bum shoulder as it is.

He's supposed to play both DE and NT.

Also, I wonder if we'll kick the tires on Kevin Benjamin or Laquon Treadwell. Both have ties to the front office.

This happened in April, and Tate informed the league when he learned of it... it's not like he got caught on a piss test. If he's suspended 4 games this is fucking bullshit.

Fucking sucks.

Collins had a 68.2 coverage grade and Peppers had a 77.3 so hopefully it's a significant upgrade.

From most accounts Peppers can cover too. Maybe every TE won't have a career high in catches and yards against us each week.

At this point last year I was arguably the biggest Beckham supporter on here... but I think I've officially moved into "fuck this guy" territory. I'm glad we got rid of him BEFORE it became an Antonio Brown situation where we're getting a third to unload a disgruntled headcase. DG might have been right with this one.

He was incredibly strong and filled in for either Seubert or Snee for a game and a half his rookie year and played really well. Next season he was more interested in his band than in playing in the NFL, apparently showed up out of shape and was cut.
