The Giants.com crew members discuss their final takeaways from the summer.

John Schmeelk: Perhaps the most important development for the Giants coming out of the preseason is their health. Andrew Thomas has been removed from the physically unable to perform list and has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The rest of the starting offensive line is ready to go. Cam Skattebo got his first preseason action after missing time with injury. Malik Nabers is on pace to be ready to go Week 1. The projected starters on both sides of the ball are also largely healthy. If a team can escape August without suffering a serious injury to someone projected to play a lot of snaps, it should be considered a successful summer.

I am also very encouraged by the play of the offensive line. They have been solid in the preseason games, but even more important for me has been the success they have had against a very good defensive front in practice. The lack of consistent performance from that group has hurt them in past years, and early results indicate that may no longer be the case.

Matt will dive deeper into this, but the combination of quarterbacks in the meeting room also has to provide some confidence. They have a great leader in Russell Wilson, a very talented veteran in Jameis Winston, a top draft pick to develop in Jaxson Dart and another young player in Tommy DeVito.

Everyone needs to read Dan's answer below because that's the truth of it. Pick whatever metaphor you want. Spring training means nothing in baseball. Dress rehearsals are nice, but nothing matters until the show is live with an audience and critics in the stands. Success at Triple A does not mean a player will be a star in The Show. NBA Summer league? Not exactly a predictor of regular-season success.

The Giants need to play better than they have in the opener than they have in previous years. They have won their first game of the season once since 2017, the one year they made the playoffs in 2022. They have only won their second regular-season game twice during that same stretch. The schedule is tough with two divisional games on the road, but the team can only control their own play. Play a better brand of football and the wins will come. The improvement we have seen on offense from the quarterbacks and offensive line combined with the improved defense talent makes that very possible.

Dan Salomone: The Giants are picking up good vibrations. While it beats the alternative, no one will know if the excitations are real until Week 1. That is why Brian Daboll has been stressing what got them to this point: discipline, team-first attitude, work ethic, and being accountable to one another.

"Again, it's a process of training camp to the preseason games and being able to execute regardless of who is in there," Daboll said after the preseason finale. "There is a standard that I'm going to hold everybody to, and we've got 17 days here before the first one. So got a lot of work to still get done."

Even if the undeniable energy translates to the season opener, it becomes fickle in a week-to-week league.

Matt Citak: As the Giants know, 30+ points in three consecutive games is no easy feat. A lot of factors go into this sort of team success, as it takes complementary football to be able to score 107 total points across three consecutive games. But at the end of the day, it's no secret that one of the most significant factors is the performance from the quarterback position.

While most of the starting lineup on the offensive side of the ball did not change much from last year, the quarterback room went through a complete overhaul. Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were signed during free agency while Jaxson Dart was selected in the first round of the draft. The three signal-callers joined Tommy DeVito in a transformed quarterback room that has seemingly been on the same page since the first day of the offseason workout program. Whether it's cheering each other on in practice or helping each other out in the meeting room, the four quarterbacks have formed a sort of bond that you don't see every day. And guess what? It's pretty clear that this closeness has helped lead to the strong results we've seen this summer.

Upon his arrival in East Rutherford, Wilson immediately started to elevate the offense as a whole. The long-time veteran brought a steadying presence to the unit both on and off the field, as just about every single one of his teammates has talked about over the last few months. While he will turn 37 in late November, Wilson has shown all summer that there is still plenty of gas left in the tank. His moonball pass has been on display on a near daily basis, dropping them perfectly 50 yards down the field, while he has also shown off his pinpoint accuracy on short and intermediate routes. Both he and Winston came to the Giants with a ton of experience and success under their belts, so there wasn't a whole lot we needed to see from them in the preseason. It's the development of the rookie that has really been eye-opening this summer.

We knew Dart's growth was going to be one of the biggest storylines around the team all summer. What we maybe didn't know was just how dominant the 22-year-old was going to look from the moment he stepped onto the field. Across the three preseason games, Dart completed 32 of 47 passes (68.1 percent) for 372 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His completion percentage and yardage would have looked even better had it not been for a number of drops by his pass-catchers. Dart also showed off his athleticism with six carries for 52 yards (8.7 yards per attempt) and an additional touchdown on the ground. And let's not forget about DeVito, who put together the best performance of any Giants QB this summer in Thursday's preseason finale. DeVito completed 85 percent of his passes for 198 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 147.5 passer rating.

Between coach Brian Daboll, assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney and the four signal-callers themselves, there is a clear bond and level of trust between the group that is leading to such strong results on the field. Now the real test will be if it continues in Washington come Week 1.
