The New York Giants and New York Jets will square off on Saturday night in the annual Snoopy Bowl at MetLife Stadium.

Given that it’s the third preseason game of the year, it is widely considered to be the team’s final dress rehearsal ahead of the regular season. Because of that, starters are expected to play into the third quarter.

With that in mind, here’s a look at three players with the most to prove.

Wide receiver, Victor Cruz

For the first time in 685 days, Victor Cruz will actually appear in a game.

The significance of Cruz’s return can not be overstated, but after being away from the field for nearly two years, there’s certainly a lot to prove.

Not only does Cruz need to knock off a whole lot of rust, he needs to show he can still play against opposing defenses going at game speed and not just his teammates going at practice speed. He also needs to show he can take a hit and that he’s mentally ready for some shots at his legs.

There’s little doubt his nerves will be on fire come kickoff, but now is the time for Cruz to prove to the world he can still play this game.

Right tackle, Marshall Newhouse

After two weeks of the preseason, Marshall Newhouse once again appears to be struggling on the outside. Of course, his struggles have been exacerbated by equally suspect blocking courtesy of the tight ends.

The Giants need for both Newhouse and left tackle Ereck Flowers to step up their game, but specifically, they need to shore up that right side.

With Bobby Hart slowly coming on, Newhouse has got to be feeling a little heat. The Giants can’t possibly be happy with what they’ve seen thus far and will eventually consider a change if it doesn’t round out.

Unlikely to play much against the New England Patriots next week, Hewhouse must create some good game film right now.

Safety, Nat Berhe

Darian Thompson is out with a shoulder injury and Mykkele Thompson has been dealing with a concussion. Because of that, Nat Berhe is likely to receive quite a bit of playing time on Saturday night.

Finally healthy after dealing with serious clotting issues in his calf a season ago, Berhe had been battling his way back onto the radar of his coaches and the team’s fans.

After an impressive week of practice, he’s half way there.

“Nat is a guy that is a heat-seeking missile,” head coach Ben McAdoo told reporters earlier this week. “He plays fast and aggressive. He’s bouncing back from an injury and he’s done a nice job getting in with the scheme. It’s nice to see him out there.”

With an impressive game against the Jets, Berhe can cement himself into the conversation at safety — even if Landon Collins and Darian Thompson are the projected starters.
