Thursday was the first set of preseason games for the NFL and we had the pleasure to see four teams in action. Let’s break down what we saw from each team and what we can take away from the games.
Giants vs Patriots
We got to the first look at the Patriots without OC Josh McDaniels, and while the offense didn’t look half bad with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge you can’t take much away as it’s only the preseason. Mac Jones did play but only for a limited snaps, but the Pats defense did play a good amount in the first half. Lastly the Patriots might have found a gem in second round receiver Tyquan Thornton.
Now for the Giants we also got to see a first look at the Daboll and Jones pairing, and while it looked pretty good the Giants main issue has always been the offensive line for the last half decade. Jones went 6-10 with no touchdowns or interceptions but the offense did look good against the Patriots’ first team defense.
Ravens vs Titans
First for the Titans, third round pick Malik Willis looked stout in his overall performance as the Titans quarterback, Malik did have his ups and downs like any other player in the preseason thus far but after starting 0-3 on passes Willis turned it around finishing 6-11 with 107 yards with no touchdowns or picks.
The Ravens on the other hand had some standouts like first round pick Kyle Hamilton who showed out in his time on the field making plays. The Ravens did see some backlash for drafting a punter (Matt Ariaza) so high (4th round) but turns out the guy can really play.
