Giants 53-man roster projection after preseason opener

Out: Josh Johnson

Yes, Geno Smith and Josh Johnson were underwhelming in the preseason opener, while rookie Davis Webb showed promise. No, that's not going to cause the Giants to deviate from their plan. While some fans continue to clamor for Webb to the be No. 2 quarterback, the Giants are going to bring their third-round pick along slowly. Webb likely won't see the field again until the preseason finale because the team will have to factor in snaps for starter Eli Manning, who got the night off in the opener. Johnson blew his slight lead over Smith with an abysmal performance on Friday night.
