New York Giants

Last year was a mess for the New York Giants across the board. The offensive line and the defense as a whole were both plagued by injuries. They installed a new offensive system, which took quite a while to master and they suffered a massive injury to wide receiver Victor Cruz.

There were good points though as well, including the emergence of Odell Beckham Jr. as a playmaker at receiver with Cruz out. And once players wrapped their heads around the offense, it actually looked good.

If the Giants are going to win the Super Bowl, it has to look perfect. We’ve seen what this version of an offense looks like back in offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo’s old stomping grounds of Green Bay. While you can argue Eli Manning isn’t quite in Aaron Rodgers category of quarterback, he’s certainly not bad.

His weapons are also could be on par with what Rodgers has in Green Bay. If Cruz comes back to 100 of pre-injury form and Beckham Jr. proves that 2014 was no fluke, his receivers are excellent. The run game, with Rashad Jennings, Andre Williams and Shane Vereen can also be potent.

The Giants offense under McAdoo is a fast-paced timing offense and keeps a defense on its heels, wearing them down by keeping them from having the ability to substitute players. It features an up-tempo style and one which should serve the team well both in the NFC East and the conference as a whole.

The defense started to right itself last season and should continue to improve this year, but it’s the offense which needs to really click for the team to reach a championship again.
