Sept 8 Game 1 Preview - Giants (0-0) - Vikings (0-0)
The Vikings finished third in the NFC North last season with a 7-10 record. The last time they finished first in their division was 2022. The Vikings then lost their Wild Card Playoff game to the Giants 31-24.
The Giants finished third in the NFC East with a 6-11 record. The last time the Giants won their division title was in 2011. The Giants went on to win Super Bowl XLVI.

Sept 7 Will the Giants beat the Minnesota Vikings and add to a festive atmosphere, or wreck it by opening the season with a loss at home? The Giants enter the season optimistic that they will field a better product than the 2023 team that went 6-11 after a horrid 2-8 start. The Giants added wide receiver Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They - again - revamped their offensive line. They traded for star pass rusher Brian Burns.

Sept 6 It wasn't a very exciting 2023 season for the New York Giants. The Giants were one of the worst teams in the league, landing them the sixth overall pick in April's draft. There's an urgency to win more games this season, but there are a few key areas the Giants need to improve in to call the 2024 season an improvement upon the last.

Sept 4 Brian Daboll confirmed that he will call the offensive plays this season, beginning Sunday when the Giants host the Minnesota Vikings. Daboll had called the plays throughout the spring, training camp, and the Giants' three preseason games, but had not specifically said he would continue to do so in the regular season. Offensive coordinator/assistant head coach Mike Kafka held the play-calling duties for most of the previous two seasons. Daboll declined to say why he made the change. He called plays for nine years as a coordinator in the NFL and at the University of Alabama.

Sept 3 The Giants' secondary still faces a major problem despite Adoree' Jackson signing. Jackson is expected to eventually take over the CB2 position alongside Deonte Banks, but the Giants' secondary still faces significant hurdles. With Jackson rejoining the mix and adapting to a new defense under coordinator Shane Bowen, it will certainly take him a few weeks to find his footing, especially after missing the entire summer, including training camp and preseason.

Sept 2 The New York Giants begin their 100th anniversary of founding this season, a year-long celebration that began back in the spring and was meticulously planned down to every detail. The upcoming season is a big one for the Giants, a turning point, if you will. They must get off to a fast start to build some momentum and confidence if they're to rebound from last year's 6-11 debacle. The Giants will practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Sept 1 Daniel Jones needs to play better than he did a year ago but needs the team to be better to keep his job, and believes he sees an improved team. Coming off a torn ACL just nine months ago, Jones has been able to work every day without limitations. He has moved well and without hesitation. What matters with Jones is what we see beginning Sept. 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. Can Jones take advantage of what should be the improved weaponry around him? Can he step up in an offense that is now quarterback-centric and not running back-centric?

Aug 31 Adoree' Jackson returns to the New York Giants on a one-year deal to provide depth at a thin position group. In three seasons with the Giants, Jackson appeared in 37 games with 36 starts and had 176 tackles, two interceptions, and 23 pass breakups. Jackson also dealt with injury issues last season. In Weeks 7 and 8, he had a neck issue. Then, in Weeks 10 and 11, he missed time with a concussion. Those injuries definitely contributed to a drop-off in his performance.

Aug 30 Isaiah Hodgins, a former 6th-round pick out of Oregon State, didn't get a real opportunity to showcase his abilities until 2022, when the Giants acquired him from Buffalo. That year, he recorded 46 receptions with an 82.1% catch rate, totaling 500 yards and five touchdowns.
With the selection of Malik Nabers as the 6th overall pick, the Giants filled out their receiver room with Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Jalin Hyatt. As a result, both Hodgins and Allen Robinson were released. Fortunately for the Giants, Hodgins will remain available as a potential asset on the practice squad.

Aug 29 Malik Nabers to wear No. 1 Giants jersey; uniform had been retired for Ray Flaherty. Flaherty played from 1927 to 1935 for the New York Yankees/Giants and was a three-time All-Pro selection. He also won an NFL title during the 1934 season. Flaherty's No. 1 was the first number to be retired in pro football history.

Aug 28 Giants announce initial 53-man roster for 2024. Three wide receivers, three tight ends, and three of their former draft choices were among the departees as the Giants unveiled their initial 53-man roster for the 2024 regular season. Those released included wide receivers Isaiah Hodgins, Allen Robinson, and Miles Boykin; tight ends Lawrence Cager, Jack Stoll, and Jakob Johnson (who also plays fullback); running back Dante Miller; offensive linemen Jimmy Morrissey, Joshua Miles, Jalen Mayfield, and Marcellus Johnson:.. more.

The New York Giants have set their initial 53-man roster, with coach Brian Daboll admitting that things are "fluid" and there are still decisions to be made. The one thing we know is that the roster as of 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday will not be the same as the one the Giants open the season with on Sept. 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Aug 27 The Giants will practice Tuesday through Thursday this week before taking three days off on Labor Day Weekend. On a Zoom call with reporters, Daboll again said, "this is still a training camp week for us coming up these next few days." Daboll also expounded on what the Giants players can expect in the coming week. The Giants coaching staff will also continue their preparation for the Vikings.

Aug 26 Special Report - The Giants began preparing for the league-imposed cutdown date of Tuesday, when all teams must reach no more than 53 players on the active roster. They got a bit of a head start yesterday, the day after absorbing their second preseason defeat, this one to the Jets, 10-6. HC Brian Daboll, who seemed strangely unperturbed with the defeat, announced that 10 players have already been waived.
They are DT Kyler Baugh, CB Breon Borders, CB Christian Holmes, safety Clayton Isbell, WR John Jiles, RB Joshua Kelley, LB Trey Kiser, RB Lorenzo Lingard, OT Marcus McKethan and WR Ayir Asante. "That's what we did this morning," Daboll said, "and obviously there are more to come, but we're not at that point. We're still discussing a lot of things, but those were 10 players that we moved on from. We thank them for their contributions and wish them well."

Aug 24 It's a make-or-break season for quarterback Daniel Jones. Jones is presumably playing for his job after the team finished last season 6-11 while he dealt with two substantial injuries (neck and a season-ending torn ACL). What's more, the franchise attempted to trade up for a QB in the 2024 NFL Draft. New York could save roughly $20 million in cap space after this season if it were to cut ties with the 27-year-old Jones. Wide receiver Darius Slayton chimed in to support his teammate, saying "it's easy to say negative things once there's a negative narrative around a person" and just because there's a narrative of Jones that "doesn't make it true."

Aug 23 The Giants took the field Thursday for their final practice ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against the New York Jets. The two teams met in Florham Park on Wednesday for a joint practice, which saw the Giants' starters match up against the Jets starters in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence and quarterback Tommy DeVito spoke to the media after Thursday's practice.

Aug 22 NFL coaches and players routinely tout the benefits of facing unfamiliar opponents in joint practices, but perhaps the most significant takeaway for the Giants after a two-hour workout with the Jets was the importance of eliminating mistakes. Offensively, the Giants dropped too many passes. Defensively, their secondary gave up several long completions, most notably a perfectly thrown touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Garrett Wilson.

Aug 21 Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has yet to satisfactorily answer many questions among Giants fans about whether he is indeed the guy who can take the team to the promised land. It's easy to point a finger at the Giants' offensive line, which was historically bad in 2023 to the tune of allowing 85 sacks, the second-most in league history. However, Jones, in 80 dropbacks when he was under pressure, was directly responsible for 20 percent of those pressures, the highest percentage of the three quarterbacks on last year's roster (Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito).

Aug 20 Because Saturday's 28-10 New York Giants loss got off to such a bad start for quarterback Daniel Jones, many watching the game may not have realized what was actually going on: The first step in mad scientist Brian Daboll's experiment to try to turn Jones into a different type of quarterback from the one we have gotten used to over the past few years. The thing is, many people have forgotten who Jones originally was, and even more don't remember what the quarterback he is always compared (unfavorably) to was.

Aug 19 Takeaways from starters' first extensive action. The whole point of preseason is to see if there's anything a team is doing that might carry over to the regular season. The most significant was the team's pass protection. While we are only two preseason games in, the early results show that the investment is paying off.
