While the OL is terrible they must try and see what Lauletta has sometime this season. They are going to have another high pick and Eli will be 38 when next season starts. At the very least Lauletta needs to start getting 2nd team reps in practice.
Yeah that was very ugly but take a look at the last play, freeze the clip at 1:48. If Eli could run just a little bit, there is NO ONE there. The LB has chased after Barkley. Any half way mobile QB would have gotten at least 7 yards
I agree that Lauletta needs practice reps. Webb needed them too. That was the biggest failure last year.Yenrub said:
Like... this should've been the general plan once they saw the line not working out well in Game 1. Take a flier on every OL and try to rebuild as much as possible. If you hit on 1 or 2 it makes the revamp in 2019 that much easier.
Yep ... never understood why why don't bring every oline in possible. The stiffs that we have would be cut from almost every NFL roster. Only problem is this guy sounds like an Ereck Flowers clone
It's stunning how bad Greco was (supposed to be a rotational backup). Giants last few weeks have been trying to get every cut OL aboce 6'3 or known as a mauler. Looking back they probably should've kept DJ Fluker.
Yeah, I'm actually pretty excited about this guy ... PFF had him rated above average last season https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/jamon-brown/9505
Yep, I know it's kinda a copout but I think the Halapio injury was the death knell of the offensive line. You never really had a lot of up-the-middle pressure in the Giants games before the; the only time that existed is the Dallas game where they ran stunts and Ereck Flowers didn't communicate who to block, which confused the whole line. The Houston game was a perfect example of this for the quarters Halapio played, Eli was hardly touched by Clowney/Watt and the offense was humming. Edge pressure is something Eli can kinda work away from if you know where it's coming (and Eli usually can); up the middle pressure on a QB who can't run? Eli's dead.
What a colossal bust... Solder has been shaky, Greco and Omameh turned out to be complete schwarbage.
That's so funny, I came into this thread to see if Giant fans were happy that they won, or mad that they potentially worsened their draft position.
7 wins? OBVIOUSLY Giants gonna have a 10 game winning streak right to the Super Bowl!So what are looking at to win the NFC Least....think 7 wins could do it?
I'm happy with the win if ....
Thanks for this !
Sheesh the overreactions... Giants have A lot of issues, depth being a secret issue and the lack of O-Line prominent. Let's not crown these dudes yet, they're still 3-7.
I remember Dave Brown and the six game winning streak to end the year he "engineered" to help the Giants finish 9-7.
Brown was awesome at throwing the out for a pick six. He had a knack for it. It was uncanny and I just could never figure out why. On TV anyway. Back then, the Giants held training camp in Albany. My old stomping grounds. I tried to make a point to get back and attend a day of camp once a year, see some old friends etc. Camp here was great, you could get pretty darn close to where they were playing. I remember sitting behind the offense as they'd lineup and run the plays. When I saw Brown throw the out from that vantage point, it all became clear. I swore I could jump the fence, run over and catch the ball before it got to the receiver. He had no velocity on it. At all. It was eye opening. The only thing that I wondered about then was how more weren't picked off.
Saw that putz on the Pat Tillman "A Football Life". Why he was chosen to speak as rep of Cardinals is beyond me with all the other more likely choices.BigBlue_RI said:
Like I said. I do not yearn for the end of the Eli era. I remember, all too well, what came before and fear what will come again. The shame of the front office will always be not putting a better oline in front of Eli in his waning years.
Holy Schnikes that's not good for the tandem of B.J. Hill and Dalvin Tomlinson.
Get on it Giants. I mean they need a tackle more than anything but OL depth is needed.
Cautiously optimistic. The Eagles secondary is banged up but it won't mean a thing if the Giants OL can't handle the very good Eagles DL
Only one of those, Wilson has been a consistent winning QB. Compare those QB's to Luck, Wentz, Goff, Mahomes, Watson. I would rather take my chance with a 1st rounder since it is the most important position to get right.
They were talking about it on the FAN yesterday ... Boomer couldn't believe that it wasn't called.
Yes, because winning % is the true measure of how good a QB is. You can have Dalton, Dak, Garrapolo, and Foles. I will take the others and be very happy.
