After calling the Giants’ first preseason game of the John Harbaugh era, Bob Papa and Carl Banks share their biggest takeaways from a team adjusting to new systems under a new coaching staff. Some growing pains were expected, but several players competing for roster spots delivered encouraging performances.
They break down the positives, the areas that clearly need improvement and the biggest concern from the 13–10 loss to Minnesota. The discussion includes the uneven rushing attack, costly penalties, missed opportunities and why the interior run defense may already be sounding an early alarm.
