The defense to include backup DTs and LBs looked good. Our front seven clearly dominated the Giants linemen; to include first, second, and third string. Eli Manning's first start in preseason didn't go well as he was under constant pressure, mostly without blitzing, and really never got to set his feet to make solid throws. Our secondary held up well except for one play. The communication on D is vastly improved and it's showing on the field. Play calls were in, assignments understood, and players executed. As far as EJ is concerned, I personally believe that many of his poor throws were due to receivers running the wrong routes. Without knowing the play call and the route assignments it's really hard to draw a conclusion as to who was at fault. I will say that we really couldn't get our running game going in the first half, but, McCoy had a fantastic game receiving with a very athletic catch for a TD.
