The New York Giants struggled to get off the ground last season. While Saquon Barkley was a highlight for their team, it's no secret to everyone their offensive line left a lot to be desired.

The O-line was one of the biggest priorities for Dave Gettleman this offseason. He made sure that the line was fixed in time for the season opener. And reports confirm that the management accomplished their goals.

According to the New York Daily News' Pat Leonard, an NFL coach watched the Giants play during the team's preseason games. He had some good things to say about the Giants' offensive line:

An NFL coach who watched the Giants play this preseason told the Daily News he believes New York’s offensive line is “night and day” from last year’s Week 1 starting five.

“There’s some good stuff. We have a hard-working room,” (guard Kevin) Zeitler, a no-nonsense worker with an icy glare, said Monday of the line coming together. “We have a lot of actual football snaps in the room, with starters and the guys who are the backups. That’s valuable. We’ve been getting a lot of work in. But this one’s really gonna show us OK, where the heck are we, this weekend.”

The Giants had one of the worse offenses in the league. They had a 0.8 offensive SRS, but it could have easily ended in negative figures if it wasn't for star running back Barkley's heroics. Since the O-line wasn't able to protect the run or the quarterback that effectively, they weren't able to qualify for the playoffs.

However, the Giants faithful should be able to see improvements in their team's win-loss record if talks about their improved line translates to the regular season.
