Two weeks from Friday morning, the Giants will hold their first practice of training camp, officially beginning a 2016 season that is headed ... well, no one exactly knows.

After four straight non-playoff years and three consecutive losing seasons, this was an offseason of change for the Giants, as two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Tom Coughlin was nudged out after 12 years and replaced by offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.

There is optimism the Giants will be improved in 2016, and a return to the postseason is in the cards. But there is also the concern some lingering depth issues and a challenging schedule could mean progress, but a fifth straight year without the playoffs.
