The New York Giants fell to the New York Jets in Week 3 of the preseason and here are 7 quick takeaways from the game.
The New York Giants dropped their preseason finale to the New York Jets, 32-24, on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Here are seven takeaways from the final game of their exhibition season.
The New York Giants lost their Week 3 preseason game against the Jets. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.
The New York Giants dropped their preseason finale to the New York Jets, 32-24, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night.
The game marked the Jets on-field debut for quarterback Aaron Rodgers but the real story, at least in Giants land, will be the injuries.
The Giants saw eight players go down to injury during the game with seven of those failing to return. It’s a situation that will have an impact on the team’s cuts next week.
There’s a lot to break down and a lot to go over but before we look ahead, let’s look back. Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ loss.
Offensive snaps: 74
Defensive snaps: 59
Special teams snaps: 30
Offensive lineman Korey Cunningham and cornerback Amani Oruwariye took the full load of snaps, which tells you the Giants wanted to get one last long look. Ditto offensive tackle Matt Peart.
Linebacker Oshane Ximines also saw a significant amount of playing time and that may call into question his future with the team. Of course, the Giants were also running low on numbers due to injury and that obviously factored in.
Wide receiver Sterling Shepard seeing time on special teams is also curious.

The New York Giants must trim their roster to 53 men by 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday and these nine players simply aren’t going to make the cut.
The New York Giants will wrap up the preseason this Saturday night against the New York Jets and then trim their roster down to the required 53 players on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.
There are many obvious locks to make the 53-man roster and there are a fair share who are certain to be sent on their way. It’s the limited men in the middle who face uncertain and uneasy futures.
Those of us at Giants Wire have already broken down many of the guarantees to make the cut, but now we’re going to look at those who aren’t.
Here are nine Giants who will almost certainly receive their walking papers on Tuesday.
The 2023 NFL preseason is entering its final days and these 11 New York Giants players need to finish strong or risk losing a roster spot.
The New York Giants must trim their roster down to 53 players by 4:00 p.m. ET on August 29, so the upcoming preseason game against the New York Jets might be the last time some of these players don a Giants uniform.
There are at least 11 players who need to finish the preseason on an uptick so that they can either a) secure a roster spot or b) a place on the Giants’ 16-man practice squad.
Let’s take a look.
Here’s a look at seven (of many) New York Giants players who are on the roster bubble headed into Week 2 of the preseason against Carolina.
The New York Giants host the Carolina Panthers in the middle preseason game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Friday night.
Jobs are on the line and several players will have to display that they are serious about making the 53-man roster, which will be cut in less than two weeks.
Here are seven players (of many) who are on the roster ‘bubble’ and need to have a good showing in this game.
The New York Giants have released their unofficial depth chart ahead of the Carolina Panthers preseason game and here are five takeaways.
The New York Giants have released their second unofficial depth chart, this time in advance of their Week 2 preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.
The depth chart was released prior to several of the team’s Tuesday transactions and includes no changes from a week ago. Everything remains exactly the same.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few notable takeaways, however. Here are five.
Whose stock is up and whose is down following the New York Giants’ loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1 of the preseason?
The New York Giants opened the 2023 preseason on Friday night at Ford Field and fell to the Detroit Lions by a score of 21-16.
The game was a tale of two halves as the defense played above board over the first two quarters before deep reserves faltered late. There was more consistency on offense but that wasn’t necessarily a good thing as the O-Line struggled from the kickoff to the final whistle. The lacking depth there is a genuine concern.
But not all was bad. In fact, there was quite a bit of good, especially as it relates to the team’s 2023 NFL draft class.

The New York Giants fell to the Detroit Lions, 21-16, on Friday night in their preseason opener and here are 7 quick takeaways.
The New York Giants opened their 2023 NFL preseason schedule with a 21-16 loss to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Friday night.
Here are seven quick takeaways from the game.
The New York Giants lost their Week 1 preseason game against the Lions. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.
The New York Giants opened their preseason with a 21-16 loss to the Detroit Lions on Friday night at Ford Field. The game featured solid defense play from Big Blue early followed by an especially ugly second half.
Depth issues along the offensive line are apparent but mixed in with all the negatives were quite a few positives. Chief among them was the play of safety Jason Pinnock, who played so well head coach Brian Daboll pulled him from the game early.
There’s a lot to break down and a lot to go over but before we look ahead, let’s look back. Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ loss.
Offensive snaps: 59
Defensive snaps: 72
Special teams snaps: 25
Korey Cunningham was the only player on the Giants team to take 100 percent of the snaps on Friday night and the tape isn’t going to look good. Like most of the offensive linemen outside of rookie center John Michael Schmitz, Cunningham put a lot of bad play on film.
Defensively, rookie nose tackle Jordon Riley took 60 percent of the snaps and unlike Cunningham, he put good play on film. It wasn’t perfect but the big-bodied Riley showed coaches he’s got some skills and with a little development, he might prove to be a diamond in the rough.
And then there’s the aforementioned Pinnock. On just five snaps he recorded an interception, a tackle for a loss and two passes defensed. Talk about production.

The New York Giants fell to the Lions, 21-16, on Friday and here’s a look at our winners and losers (and those in between) from the game.
Editor’s note: Upon reviewing the game, we changed the entry for Deonte Banks, adding detail on what was a bang-bang play and difficult to read in real-time. Giants Wire writers disagreed (and still disagree) on what transpired.
The New York Giants opened the 2023 preseason on Friday night against the Detroit Lions and neither team played their key starters. There were a few spot starters on both sides but predominantly, the game featured depth players.
Accordingly, it was a rather ugly performance for each team. There was more bad than good, and neither coach is going to be particularly happy on Saturday morning.
Here are some winners, losers, and in-betweens from Fright night’s Giants’ victory/defeat.
