3 Reasons Giants should be optimistic, concerned after 20-10 loss to Browns | Is the secondary ANY better?

If Thursday night's 20-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns to open the four-game exhibition schedule showed anything, it is that this Giants team is far from a finished product.

While rookie running back Saquon Barkley's first career carry will be the talk of the NFL on Friday, equally important is the fact that the Giants' offensive line largely answered the bell, save for one sack of quarterback Eli Manning.

There were plenty of positives to take away from Thursday night's game, along with plenty of corrections for head coach Pat Shurmur and the coaching staff to focus in on before taking the field for Week 2 of the preseason next Friday night in Detroit against the Lions.
