NY Giants, Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid

Footballguys Staff's NY Giants, Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid Footballguys Staff Published 07/08/2023

As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our quick-hitting Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't give you a good return on that investment).

Giants, Team Vibes

  • Good - 2
  • Neutral - 11
  • Bad - 0

Staffers with Good Vibes

  • Nick Whalen: They won a playoff game with a first-year head coach, who looked to turn around Daniel Jones' career.
  • Dave Kluge: Brian Daboll brought out the best we’ve seen from Daniel Jones, and he’ll hope to take another step forward in 2023.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

  • Phil Alexander: Darren Waller is a potential difference-maker, but he's had trouble staying on the field since 2020. Their wide receiver room still isn't good enough for the offense to take a major step forward.
  • Jason Wood: The 2022 team played above its head and needs marked improvement to match last year's record. Signing D. Jones to an extension was a potential misstep.
  • Jeff Haseley: Daniel Jones provides a dual-threat approach, but he still hasn't topped 3,300 yards passing. This limits the offense.
  • Ben Cummins: Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka both return for year two to coach an offense on the rise under their leadership.
  • Dan Hindery: This offense was solid despite a raft of injuries last season. Better health and some solid additions to the wide receiver and tight end groups should lead to further improvement.
  • Chad Parsons: There is a positive trajectory with the coaching staff and system to get the best out of Daniel Jones. The only problem is Jones' best might be as a middle-of-the-road NFL quarterback.
  • Jeff Bell: With Saquon Barkley in the fold and progression from Daniel Jones, this could be good, but there is a steep downside.
  • Jeff Tefertiller: Last year, Daboll's presence was felt as he got the most out of Daniel Jones. Signing him to a big-money deal was risky.
  • Daniel Harms: Second year of Jones in the offense, but the distribution of the passing game limits the big upside for individual players.
  • Andy Hicks: Year two of Brian Daboll has the potential to go either way. Have they done enough to improve?
  • Ryan Weisse: I just don't know if I'm ready to trust Daniel Jones after one very good year.

Staffers with Bad Vibes

  • None.
