Ranking of the 5 shots that the Giants should do in the coming weeks against the Atlanta Falcons and the Washington Redskins

ATLANTA – The Giants start the Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons at 1-5, for the second consecutive season, and were outclassed by a total of 162-117.

In all respects, the competitive portion of the 2018 season is already over for the Giants, and starting Monday night, the coaching staff and the organization should look to the talent assessment on the roster.

That it is about personnel changes along the offensive line, an increase in the number of snapshots for young players on the list, or the realization of the major change that the ## 147 ## 39; organization has not been able to bring, last season the status quo will not just reduce it to the final 10 games of the season.

Here's how we would rank five major changes that the Giants could – and should – bring from Monday:

Any change that the Giants could make on the offensive, namely a quarterback change, would struggle to reach its full potential without significant change along one of the most porous offensive lines in the league.

Right guard Patrick Omameh was removed from the game by the Giants before Monday's game against the Falcons.

Omameh has been the work definition of a bust of free agents, and regularly ranked by Pro Football Focus as the Giants' worst offensive lineman.

Given Spencer Pulley's versatility as goalkeeper / center, John Greco's record as a goalkeeper, moving Greco to Omameh and promoting Pulley to the center could bring some stability to the front.

Whoever will be behind the center in 2019, Omameh simply can not be the right guard, given his run in the first six games of 2018, and his release would allow the Giants to earn $ 3 million in cash. maximum capitalization next season.

Defensive end R.J. McIntosh was absent from the training camp, pre-season and first six games of the regular season while he was recovering from an undeclared illness.

This week, McIntosh has been activated from the NFI list, which means the Giants now have three weeks to decide if he will be healthy enough to be on the active player list, or if he needs to be transferred in the end of season report.

Although this is the last attempt at a call to launch McIntosh on the ground before he is ready, preparing him and getting him in shape to take meaningful shots should be a priority.

The Giants' passes are among the worst in the league, with seven sacks less than the NFL record so far.

Who knows if McIntosh will be the answer here, but during his college career in Miami, he totaled 5.5 sacks and 23.0 tackles for the loss. Even if McIntosh is not ready to play before three to four weeks, preparing him and getting him back on the field as soon as he is physically fit could give Giants a meager pass and give him all the money he needs. time required for coaches. to evaluate its role in the future.

Linebacker Lorenzo Carter, a third-round rookie, has tremendous potential in the faceoff and in the big games, especially to counter the passer this season.

However, his time on the field was very limited. It must change.

In the first six games, Carter has played a total of 157 strikes, representing only 39.6% of the Giants' total defensive play. Despite limited playing time, Carter racked up 13 tackles with a 1.0 bag, three hits and a tackle for the loss.

Meanwhile, veteran Connor Barwin recorded 203 catches, Kareem Martin 289 and B.J. Goodson played 161.

Barwin has been very present in the locker room and played a few plays this season, but Carter is the future of the position.
