The Facts:
New play-caller Ben McAdoo brings more up-tempo, West Coast principles to the Giants, so Manning has had to spend his offseason doing homework. HC Tom said the renewed studying would be a boon for the veteran QB. The coach said there is no doubt the new offense will get Manning back to playing at a championship level. "There's no question in my mind about that," Coughlin said. "As a matter of fact, this studying part, it's a good thing. It is a good thing. And that's really what I wanted to go ahead and put in place, where the wheels for the veteran players, the wheels were really turning and so that was part of the objective."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Coming off a horrific season in 2013, Coughlin believes the refreshed offense will reboot all the Giants' offensive players who became stagnant in the old system. Former OC Kevin Gilbride retired after 10 seasons with the Giants -- seven spent as the offensive coordinator -- and McAdoo, a former Packers assistant, takes over. Manning, 33, is entering his 11th season and coming off ankle surgery, but Coughlin pointed to the quarterback's iron man streak as a reason for optimism in 2014. Coughlin and the Giants hope that Manning sticking his nose in a new playbook will not only bring a new style but also breathe fresh life into the signal-caller.
