The New York Giants went 2-1 during the 2022 preseason with victories over the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals followed by a last-minute loss to the New York Jets last Sunday.
Those performances were encouraging signs as their new regime under general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll.
The Giants led the NFL in several categories this summer:
- Total offense (yards per game) with a 382.7 average buoyed by 272.7 yards per game passing. They also led all teams in completions with 102.
- They led all NFC teams in pass attempts (143) and all teams in sacks allowed with three.
- In individual stats, Giants wide receiver Alex Bachman led all players with 19 receptions.
While few hold any stock in the preseason, there are some takeaways Giants fans can revel in. Their offense looks like it will be an upbeat, creative effort that won’t crawl into a shell. They will compete.
That is the swagger Daboll and new offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have brought this season.
