Summary

The Giants defense played well at the right time of the year, peaking at the end of the year and during their Super Bowl run. But they really disappointed for much of the regular season, failing to generate much pressure on the quarterback and struggling against the pass. The Giants finished the season just 29th against the pass while ranking 27th overall defensively. New York did have 28 sacks, though, which was among the highest in the league. The pass rush will be a strength once again this season but the secondary remains a bit of a concern. A healthy Prince Amukamara at cornerback would be a plus, though. He gives the team some good depth and has shutdown ability if he continues to grow at the position. Special teams aren't too exciting for the Giants. Jerrel Jernigan is the favorite to handle both punt and return duties for the Giants. He is a young player with upside but didn't get many chances in that role last season, so the verdict is still out on him.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Giants have a lot of talent on the defense side of the ball and we expect them to play better from day one this season. They are a legit starter for fantasy teams, mainly because of their top sack potential. The Giants aren't an elite unit but just outside that group.

Notes

New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese said he would like to see DE Jason Pierre-Paul talk with retired DE Michael Strahan this offseason to learn how to beat double-team blocking. 'I am going to reach out to Michael Strahan this offseason and see if we can have him have some conversations with JPP and just tell him, 'Look, it is inside your chest, a lot of it.' You've got to have the heart to do it, and I think he does. But I think if he hears from somebody like Michael Strahan, that will really encourage him,' Reese said.

New York Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul said Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III better try to avoid running to the right side of the field in Week 7. 'We like to set the edges,' Pierre-Paul said of containing the corners. 'Yes, it'll be a very good matchup. Not on my side, though. Not on my side. Don't come on my side, I told you that.'

New York Giants LB Mathias Kiwanuka believes DE Jason Pierre-Paul is capable of posting a 30-sack season because he has yet to reach his vast potential. 'He could be. Absolutely,' Kiwanuka said. 'He definitely has the potential to be one of the best ever. There's so much that goes into it that's out of his control so you don't want to jinx him or anything like that, but if the kid keeps working and God's on his side and he stays healthy, we expect to see great things out of him.'
