Other Giant observations
Malik Nabers: NY Giants receiver must lead evolution of offense | The Record
The ability of Nabers to draw attention away from the other wide receivers should give them winnable matchups, creating more throwing windows for Jones. The way Stefon Diggs helped transform the Bills’ offense run by Daboll in Buffalo just by his presence on the field was a big reason for their success that season.
“If teams start sending multiple guys at Malik, that creates 1-on-1 matchups for the rest of us, and we need to cash in,” Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson said. “You need to go into every game with answers – answers not just to what they do, but what you think they’re going to do, and the way Malik is playing, they have to defend him. We need to take advantage.”

Is overhauled Giants offensive line actually better? We’re about to find out | The Athletic
But enthusiasm about the line has to be tempered by the opposition being the woeful Commanders. The Browns will pose a much stiffer test on Sunday. If the Giants’ line meets that challenge, it’ll fuel belief that the unit has made real progress.
Garrett primarily lines up across from the left tackle, but he moves around. It would make sense for Cleveland to avoid a Garrett matchup with Thomas and instead look to exploit right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor. Regardless of which side Garrett is on, expect him to draw the focus of multiple players via double teams and chips.
Evan Neal a Forgotten Man? | SI.com
Offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo was asked about Neal’s progress and if there might be a role for him as an extra blocker.
“Evan definitely excels in run blocking, and he’s doing a good job of working himself back into this mix and getting the rust off,” Bricillo said. “It’s been a long hiatus in those injuries, and he’s doing a good job. Given an opportunity, I’m sure he’ll be able to help us.”
Giants’ Hyatt: ‘My chance will come and … I will be ready” – ESPN
The second year wide receiver has no catches and one target in two games this season.
“Would’ve looked at you crazy,” Hyatt said if he was told that would be the case prior to the season. “It is definitely disappointing. I’m not going to sit here and act like I’m perfectly fine with it. I’m not. But it’s like, ‘What can I do now?’ It’s either I can sit here and pout and be mad at the world and not get better, or I can keep attacking the days and keep getting better at practice.”

Dabs’ Digest: Week 3 conversation with Coach Brian Daboll | Giants.com
Q: What makes the Browns defense so good?
Daboll: “They do a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage, getting penetration into the backfield, affecting the quarterback. They play tight man-to-man coverage. They have a good blitz package when they use it. They disguise things well. Good players. Got a good veteran defensive line with (defensive end Myles) Garrett (the reigning NFL Player of the Year), Za’Darius Smith, (former Giant Dalvin) Tomlinson, (Shelby) Harris. JOK (Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah). (Denzel) Ward is a top corner in this league.”

32 Thoughts Ahead of NFL Week 3 | Bleacher Report
New York Giants: Love that we’re getting a good look at Malik Nabers, but he has received nearly 40 percent of the offense’s targets thus far. That’s a recipe for disaster in terms of predictability.

2. Carson Beck, Georgia, QB. You have to make a change if you’re the Giants. Daniel Jones has not inspired confidence within that building, and so it’s time for a change. That change is Georgia’s Carson Beck with the No. 2 overall pick.

Myles Garrett: I don’t feel 100 percent, but I feel good enough to make a difference | Pro Football Talk
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is still dealing with a foot injury, but plans to play on Sunday against the Giants. Garrett played 68 percent of Cleveland’s defensive snaps against Jacksonville after playing 76 percent in Week 1. He recorded three total tackles with a tackle for loss and a strip-sack.
“Don’t feel 100 percent, but I feel good enough to go out there and make a difference, so I’m going to go out there and do that,” Garrett said during his Friday press conference.
32 Thoughts Ahead of NFL Week 3 | Bleacher Report
Cleveland Browns: Deshaun Watson has been the most pressured quarterback in the league and his receivers lead the NFL in drops. I’m not excusing him entirely, but the Browns have to be better across the board or they could fall to the Giants on Sunday.
Bryce Young, Tua and Watson: An NFL tipping point, or billionaires’ business as usual? | The Athletic
On the field, Watson ranks 41st in EPA per pass play among 43 quarterbacks with at least 10 starts since 2022.
If the Browns sought to exit the deal, they would incur salary-cap charges so punitive — nearly $173 million, at present — that they would have a hard time functioning in the short term. Before the latest lawsuit was filed, they converted some of Watson’s salary into signing bonus to create shorter-term flexibility under the cap, making it even tougher to extricate themselves from the contract.
