Acgott Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 We can expect OBJ and Barkley not to play. How long does Eli and rest of the starters play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny92mike Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Last year against the Jets, Eli played the first quarter only and with his experience that's really all he probably needs, but missing time last week, I could see them push an additional half to full quarter in there just so he can get a little more time with Cody and Engram. Either way, I'll be looking to see more production from the offensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli is not going to play in a preseason game so he can get more work with his 5th option Last year of course has nothing to do with this year. Eli typically played 3 Qts in the TC era. Originally I expected him to play the first half, but without Barkley and maybe not OBJ I think they play a quarter if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go_Giants Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I would like to see him play at least a quarter. This is still a brand new offense, I doubt he has mastered it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he rested or was injured, not playing a single snap in last weeks preseason game is missing time. Now I'm not saying that's going to hurt him, he's an experienced veteran but the more snaps with the new guys the better. It's why he's voiced his opinion on how many practices that Barkley has missed. Like @Go_Giantssaid this is a new offense / defense the entire team needs the reps.

ny92mike Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Anyone watching the game? Not televised where I'm at so if anyone would be so kind to provide info at halftime. Primarily the offensive line and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The practice reps against the Lions is replacing actual preseason games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starters will be benched when I get home so I will be following the beat writers on Twitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern for me still remains the offensive line. I still don't think that they did enough but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
