Top 5 Players to Watch
New York:
5 - Adrien Robinson - Robinson is one of the most improved Giants from this past offseason. He was very raw last year and did not contribute much. The Giants like him a lot, and it will be interesting to see how he has progressed and if he can help this team at TE opposite Myers.
4 - Brandon Myers - Speaking of Myers, I am anxious to see him play as well. HE is supposedly one of Eli's favorite targets in camp, and is completely different from the playing style of Martellus Bennett. Myers may only get 15-20 snaps tonight, but a small glimpse is all we need to see how he is fitting into the offense.
3 - Brandon Mosley - VERY excited for Mosley tonight. Out of the entire team, Mosley has added the most strength to his frame, which was due to him constantly working with Guard Chris Snee in the summer. Mosley was a 4th round pick last year, and is supposed to help this year. He can be a big piece of the Giants fixing their OLine woes if he can put on a show.
2 - Rueben Randle - Randle and Wilson are 1a and 1b to me. Randle HAS been the best player of Giants training camp. He is doing great against everyone. He was a little raw last year as well, but has really turned it on at the end of the year and has improved even more as the summmer has progressed. To me, he will be better than Manningham was for us, and is an amazing asset to have as a no.3 WR.
1 - David Wilson - Surprise surprise. Wilson had two problems last year. Fumbling problems and pass protection. He has fixed his fumbling woes, and should not do it nearly as much (another Giants RB who HAD fumbling problems? Tiki Barber). And Wilson has supposedly gotten a lot better at picking up the extra man in passing situations. Bradshaw is gone, so the floor is his. He can be the future of this team, and everyone will be watching.
Other Notables: Justin Pugh (who is out with an injury), Prince Amukamara (who will not play enough to really put eyes on).

Plax's Predictions:
Game Expectations:
The Steelers and Giants both have amazing young talent at many spots, and will be fun to see the second and third string guys go at it. Take the score with a grain of salt, as anything can happen tonight. I am just happy for Giants football! All in.
