Which players stood out positively and negatively in the Giants' first preseason victory over Detroit?
New York Giants front office, coaches, and fans took their first look at the team as they faced the Detroit Lions to open their respective preseasons, a 14-3 Giants win.
Let's take a look at some players who should be on the rise and others who might be down after game one of the preseason for Big Blue.Gray showed versatility in his first preseason action. After relieving rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., he picked up a first down on a 24-yard reception from Tommy Devito on a wheel route out the backfield.
He has a knack for weaving through the traffic and getting to the ball carrier. He understands how to slip bigger blockers and square up ball carriers. He will be a welcomed addition to special teams and possibly become a guy who can spell Micah McFadden. He finished with two solo and two assisted tackles.Kubas played really well in his first NFL action. He received the start because the starters did not play, allowing him to get into a rhythm from the beginning of the game.
He controlled gaps and knocked offensive linemen back behind the line of scrimmage. On a couple of plays during the game, he collapsed the guard down the line of scrimmage and closed all of the other gaps so that he could disengage and make the tackle. He completed two passes that both resulted in first downs, and one put the team on the one-yard line, where Gray was able to plunge it in the endzone for the second of his touchdowns on the night.
