I am not surprised by the ranking. The Giants offseason additions were not top echelon guys. Thomas is the only guy on the line with any credentials for "rankings".
I think if they had traded for or signed a pro-bowl caliber OL they might have been ranked higher. They signed a lot of mediocrity and added that to a group that mostly rated worse than mediocre.
I don't know if they will be better. I think they could be. It seemed like most of the signees were better pass blockers than run blockers. Maybe they can find one thing they do well and have an identity. That would be an improvement in my opinion. Last year they couldn't run or pass block. If they pass block well, they might be able to set up the run via the pass.
I'll believe it when it I see it.
Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 07:50:59 PMI answered your question. Maybe it wasn't loud enough. It's stupid to evaluate an Offensive Line with two new veteran starters, a second year Center, a new Oline Coach and no playing time together. Including how injuries will impact the continuity.

I hate playing on Thanksgiving
We should have had the bye before the Thanksgiving week game.
Quote from: sxdxca38 on Today at 07:59:24 PMMay I ask who made the false statement?
Here is the quote
"I think the term "we are not a qb away from being good" is a complete cop out and utter bull sht. So you don't think the Giants make the playoffs this past season with CJ Stroud at Qb? The defense wasn't the problem, they kept us in games, Slayton was running wide open with Hyatt half the season. We also saw our oline play exceptionally better under Tyrod than with Jones/Devito, some of that to do with health and the rest because tyrod is an actual NFL quarterback."
Are you ready to apologize?
or double down?
choose
I'll wait
QuoteWhat does it mean when he gets blamed for many of the sacks the OL subjects him to, but when a back-up behind a better OL is sacked at an even higher rate we are told that the back-up has better pocket sense? What does it mean when the woes of the defense are the fault of all the 3 and outs he has, when in actuality the TOP is virtually 50-50? The fact is that there are posters who have tried to place virtually every team failing at DJ's feet.
Quote from: LennG on Today at 07:40:11 PMWhen our kicker is on a promotional poster and not our QB, says a lot about the opinion of where the talent lies on this team.
Quote from: Trench on Today at 04:09:47 PMWell it is in poor taste to make a completely false statement on a message board where we are continually dissecting words and thoughts and then when called out, the answer is it was simply hyperbole. Had it been stated as such in the beginning (or simply admit a mistake was made) we could have avoided a lot of negative back and forth
Quote from: LennG on Today at 07:32:35 PMWhen I started this thread it was about the OL and, as usual, it has ended up being a referendum on Daniel Jones, like most other threads.
If anyone cares, what about our 'new and impr oved' OL? Is PFF right and do we still have the worst OL in the league or have we made some significant improvements to make it, at least, average?
Quote from: jgrangers2 on Today at 04:38:53 PMIf they're gonna bench anyone, it should be Trouba or Gustafson for Jones. They've been terrible (Trouba's shorty notwithstanding). I think Schneider got caught flat footed and stuck between giving Staal space and attacking him and just did neither. It was ugly and then only got worse from there.
Ultimately, while game 5 was ugly, it's just one game. Hopefully the Rangers come out better tomorrow night and look a lot more like the team from game 4. Carolina needed three bar and in goals to win on Saturday. If the Rangers play like that, they end it tomorrow and we don't have to go through the heart attack of a game 7.
