## Resource

The John Harbaugh era begins with a brutal test: can the New York Giants start 1-1 against the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams? Patricia Traina and Ed Valentine preview the 2026 roster, weigh the Giants’ improved preparation, and identify the pressure points ahead of Sunday Night Football. The conversation covers Cam Skattebo, Najee Harris, Tyrone Tracy, Malik Nabers, Jaxson Dart’s work under center, and the search for a true deep threat. On defense, Ed Valentine highlights Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Arvell Reese, Tremaine Edmunds, and the need for defensive-line depth behind DJ Reader and Shelby Harris. The duo also evaluates Deonte Banks, Greg Newsome, Paulson Adebo, Odell Beckham Jr.’s role, and a revamped special teams unit led by Jordan Stout and Dominic Zvada. Can the Giants make a statement against Dallas?
