The New York Giants are entering a season in which they are expected to fight for the NFC East division title.

Last season, the Giants finished 7-9, and the team never had a realistic chance at going far. This season, the Giants, in the thick of training camp, have a lot of new players, and many questions are still floating around about this squad.

With a new offensive coordinator in place and David Wilson out for the year, nothing is certain. Latin Post takes a look at the 10 biggest questions for the Giants heading into the 2014 NFL season:

1. Can the Offensive Line Block?

Last season, two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning was sacked 39 times, and he had very little time to throw. Long time veteran guard Chris Snee retired, the run game doesn't show much promise, and the NFC has a lot of good defenses. If the offensive line can't block for this team again, it could spell disaster for the Giants playoff hopes.

2. Can the Giants Run Effectively?

Sad news from Giants camp came in when it was reported that David Wilson won't play this season. His career is most likely over due to back injuries. Last year was one of the worst rushing seasons in Giants franchise history, as the team ran for a combined 1,332 yards. Their leading rusher was Andre Brown with just 492 yards. He's now with the Houston Texans. Peyton Hillis is a big back who can block and protect, but he's not exactly the second coming of Walter Payton.

3. Can Mario Manningham Return to Form?

Manningham made a lot of clutch catches for the Giants for years, the biggest one of course being the left sideline reception in the Super Bowl. His time in San Francisco was highlighted by bench time and injuries. Manningham had nearly 1,000 yards in 2010 catching passes from Manning. If the Manning-to-Manningham connection can work again, maybe this offense can be a force.

4. Can Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie Be a Shut Down Corner?

The Denver Broncos best secondary player will be returning to the NFC East. Rodgers-Cromartie once played for the Philadelphia Eagles, so he's somewhat familiar with the division. Rodgers-Cromartie is just 28 years old and has enormous upside. The NFC East is quarterback heavy and the Giants are going to need every bit of Rodgers-Cromartie all season long. The Giants will also be facing Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, and Matthew Stafford.

5. How Will Ben McAdoo Fit in With the Offense?

Kevin Gilbride was the offensive coordinator from 2006-2013. This will be the first time Manning has a different offensive coordinator, other than Gilbride, in a very long time. McAdoo recently spent a lot of time in Green Bay, so he's very familiar with the passing attack. The Giants are going to need him to be committed to the run.

6. Can Rashad Jennings Be a Feature Back?

The Giants signing Jennings in the offseason was an absolute steal at four years, $3 million guaranteed. A lot of people forget Jennings was the leading rusher on the Oakland Raiders last season. With Wilson out for the season, the Giants are going to need Jennings to reach his full potential. So far he's been impressive in training camp, and he should get his fair share of carries.

7. Can Victor Cruz Be THAT Guy?

Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks were a terrific wide receiver combination for years. With Cruz running through the slot, Nicks would be wide open or just single teamed. Now with Nicks in Indianapolis, Cruz is without a doubt their No. 1 wide-out. How many times will we see the salsa dance this season? After 10 touchdowns in 2012, Cruz only had four last season.

8. How Will Big Blue Do Against the AFC?

Every year, each team plays four inter-conference games.

The New York Giants (and the rest of the NFC East) will play four games against the AFC South. Luckily for the NFC East, that is the worst division in football. The AFC South features the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. At minimum, the Giants have to win three of those games. Giants-Colts will showcase Hakeem Nicks against the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

9. How Good Will Eli Manning Be?

Eli Manning is one of the weirdest quarterbacks of all-time. Although he throws a lot of interceptions, and he sometimes make boneheaded throws, he is one of the most clutch quarterbacks in the game. He led the NFL in interceptions last season with 27. Despite all of that, as Manning has shown time and time again, he can make the biggest plays in the biggest moments. Giants need Manning to play like the two-time Super Bowl MVP that he is.

10. How Will They Do Against the NFC East?

No sport puts more emphasis on winning divisional game than the NFL. Last season, the Giants were average in divisional play. They were 3-3, sweeping the Redskins and defeating the Eagles once. Losing both games to the Dallas Cowboys is something Giants fans want to forget. Finishing 3-3 in a division isn't bad, but 4-2 is a lot better, especially when this division always comes down to the wire.
