Pro Football Focus grades from the Giants’ 26-3 victory over the Dolphins
Key Points:
- The Giants dominated the Miami Dolphins in a rainy preseason game, with many starters rested on the Dolphins' side, making detailed individual analysis less meaningful.
- On offense, left tackle J.C. Davis had an outstanding game with an 89.3 overall grade, excelling in both pass and run blocking, while other offensive linemen mostly graded in the 70s, showing solid pass protection.
- Wide receiver Dalen Cambre continued to impress with consistent performances, though roster cuts may affect his status, while Darius Slayton had a strong game that could secure his place or increase his trade value; Odell Beckham Jr. struggled with a critical drop in the end zone.
- Defensively, defensive back Dru Phillips led the Giants with a 96.3 grade despite giving up a notable reception, contributing with two forced fumbles; several defensive backs, including Tyler Nubin and Deonte Banks, had excellent games, highlighting a strong secondary.
- Some defensive players like Darius Alexander struggled, particularly with tackling, indicating a need for improvement to secure their roles on the team.
