Giants didn't look so good beating the Panthers
Yes, we can all be happy about the turnovers, the special teams, and the win. But Carolina's defensive line did get some serious pass rush against our new and improved offensive line. We can't go too hard on McKenzie for getting beat by the best defensive lineman in the NFL (Peppers) but overall Manning saw a lot more pressure than we'd like.
The defensive line was better, but not good enough as carolina was able to run. The linebackers need to take some of the blame here too but run defense is a concern until we see real improvement from last year.
Our running game seems to be in decent shape with Jacobs looking good and Tiki saving his strength. The passing game had a few touchdowns which is a nice change from last year but until we see better pass protection...
