John Harbaugh gives New York more structure, and Malik Nabers can win even when the coverage knows where the ball is going. The defense can create edge pressure through Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, but the middle is thinner after the interior turnover. Jaxson Dart’s protection and durability keep the placement in the bottom third.
Under John Harbaugh, both sides still need work for New York. The offense wants to establish a balanced play-action offense. The defense wants to establish a pressure scheme, with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux leading the unit.
Jaxson Dart is the swing factor because the offense changes with his level of play. The pressure point is replacing Dexter Lawrence inside while keeping the quarterback healthy behind an inconsistent line.
Dart can create outside the pocket, but the 30th-ranked quarterback setup still asks him to absorb too many hits. The offense will not settle until the interior keeps more plays alive from the snap.
Harbaugh leads the 14th-ranked coaching situation after taking over a roster that also lost Dexter Lawrence. The staff has to develop Jaxson Dart while rebuilding the middle of the defense at the same time.
New York sits near the middle of the league at No. 14 in schedule strength, with opponents averaging 80.7. Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks create the toughest stretch, but 7 games against current top-10 teams keep the schedule from belonging at either extreme.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Seattle Seahawks at 91.3 PFM.
The Giants received good news today as Nabers has avoided the PUP list. This means his ACL injury is healing really well. New York needs to still take it slow with him. He is way too important to the franchise.
