The Conclusion

So as bad as you think the Giants may look this season, their problems truly stem from very specific components.

Ereck Flowers needs to be moved to right tackle and replaced with a proven left tackle. This will not only benefit the running game, but it will also allow Manning to gain his comfortability in the pocket back, which he has clearly lost.

On defense, Steve Spagnuolo has been given so much talent, now he just has to figure out the best way to use it.

It has only been five games, and the Giants are slightly below .500, but the positive to take away from this slow start is that once these few issues are fixed, the Giants have the potential to be a special team.
