Throughout the preseason, NewYorkJets.com reporters Eric Allen, Randy Lange, Susanna Weir and Jack Bell will give their responses to a series of questions regarding the Jets.

Today's question: Which player are you most interested to watch in the Jets-Giants preseason game?

EA: Here's hoping that the Jets and the Giants line up with their starters for at least a couple of series. While my initial thought was QB Justin Fields, I'll take the Jets' young tackle tandem of Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou. Those Giants edges bring a full arsenal to the table equipped with elite speed and power. Brian Burns is a freaky athlete, and he's got a ridiculous motor. Jets HC Aaron Glenn called rookie Abdul Carter a "grown man" and the Giants have quickly moved him around their front and hunted for matchups. When your third-best rusher (Kayvon Thibodeau) racked up 21 sacks the past three seasons, that's saying something. This entire week has been a fantastic experience for Fashanu and Membou. There have been wins and losses in 1-on-1 sessions including some nice work from Fashanu on Carter. The talented Membou probably has been too aggressive in some reps, but that's all part of his growth process. RG Alijah Vera-Tucker said Membou did a "phenomenal job" against the Packers, and the raw talent has displayed a great work ethic. Fashanu is a natural pass blocker who has gotten a lot better in the run game, and we saw that again during joint practices.

RL: This may be wishful thinking, but I'd like to see No. 85, the son of Jason Taylor and the nephew of Zach Thomas, get on the field and hook up once or twice more with Justin Fields. We know second-round TE Mason Taylor can catch the ball, but it would still be good to see him in game action with the QB and the offense that he seems certain to help become optimally explosive this season. It was great to see Taylor return with an impact from his high ankle sprain to make that highlight-video over-the-shoulder deep-sideline grab in the first joint practice with the Giants, but that ball was thrown (nicely, it should be noted) by backup QB Adrian Martinez. The WR group is evolving into less of an unknown factor in this offense, but even so, Taylor will be needed to pitch in with receptions and blocks. And since it seems unlikely the vets will play next Friday vs. defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia in the preseason finale, it would be most excellent if Fields and Taylor connected in game conditions before they need to do it when it counts, beginning opening day vs. the Steelers.

JB: Some of us often have a guy we've seen play in college, then say to ourselves: "Man, I'd love that guy to get drafted by the Jets." For me, one of those players was LB Jonathan Vilma in 2004. This year the guy was S Malachi Moore out of Alabama. Moore (5-11, 197), who was the Jets' second selection in the fourth round (after Arian Smith), may not have imposing size, but he hits hard, has a nose for the ball and the keen anticipation of a baseball centerfielder. GM Darren Mougey traded up 15 spots to snap up Moore, a four-year starter and two-time captain for the Crimson Tide. Moving from nickel to safety at the urging of former Alabama coach Nick Saban, Moore had 7 INT, 25 PD and 214 tackles (127 solo) in college. Now with the Jets, he's part of a group that includes Andre Cisco, signed in free agency, and Tony Adams, a past UDFA. So far in camp, as he dealt earlier with an oblique injury, Moore has dished out some big hits -- on the team's other Malachi Corley, Dymere Miller and Xavier Gipson. "Young fella ... he's going to be a hell of a player in this league," HC Aaron Glenn has said of Moore. "I'm not going to tell you who I compare him to, but he's going to do some really good things for us. And I'm not saying it's going to be at a starting level [right away] ... he's out there competing, and we're seeing if he can get the job, and he understands that. But there are other things we can do with that player on special teams and in certain defensive packages where he's going to be able to excel."

SW: I continue to be intrigued by WR Arian Smith. The rookie receiver has looked sharp throughout training camp, and so far, has silenced concerns about his ball-catching ability. During joint practice at the Giants' facility Wednesday, Smith had what may have been the play of the day when he leaped to make a contested catch on a high ball from QB Adrian Martinez. Martinez and Smith also connected for a touchdown in Florham Park during joint practice Tuesday. The chemistry between the QB and young receiver has developed over the course of the past week -- Smith was also on the receiving end of a 13-yard pass from Martinez on third down in Green Bay. HC Aaron Glenn did not speak about whether starters would play, but even if they do, it's not likely we will see them out there for very long. QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is out for the remainder of preseason, and while QB Brady Cook is expected to play Saturday, it's unclear how much action he will see after his ankle was stepped on during Tuesday's session and he was held out of Wednesday's practice. We could see a lot of Martinez, and Smith could see more opportunities as one of his recent popular targets.
