I don't know either guy involved, but have a hunch there is a little culpability on both sides. Seems like a situation that could have been easily avoided.

What about drafting a guy who's good for one blocking scheme and not another such as the one you like to run? How about thinking every player who plays on one side can play on the other side?
Giants drafted the 1st or 2nd best WR yet he does not appear on any Fantasy rookies to watch probably because Giants can't pass block and have a QB unwilling to throw downfield more aggressively.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 18, 2024, 06:53:30 AMThe 2006 was before the 2011 CBA. The owners traded away practice time for more money. As a result there has been a chronic shortage of offensive linemen because there isn't enough time to properly develop them.
Quote from: ozzie on May 17, 2024, 08:47:10 PMHey that's a valid observation.
It is, but IMO most businesses aren't the type where over working someone on little rest may result in serious injury and then claim employee safety is their #1 goal.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 16, 2024, 04:58:45 PMReally, why?
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 16, 2024, 08:56:38 AMI agree. The first thing I always look for is the bye. Ideally you want that at the middle (or later) in the schedule- check
I look for any killer stretches, I don't see that
Finally (and this is just my preference), I look for a minimum of prime-time games. At three, that's about as low as one can expect as a Giants fan.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 16, 2024, 08:52:48 AMI suspect there will be less griping about this than there was with Peacock (or even Amazon) owing to the popularity and vastly larger Netflix subscriber base.
Quote from: LennG on May 15, 2024, 08:44:15 PMMe also. But the point being, in a nutshell--WHY"
Why, when we already had the worst OL in the league, was this not addressed, even to the point of bringing in one quality guy to show fans that they are trying?
Yes, these new and hopefully, improved guys, maybe better than last year's crop (they certainly can't be worse), it just boggles my mind that we again are predicted to be at the bottom of the barrel, and management either doesn't care or is sluffing off on their jobs.
Quote from: LennG on May 15, 2024, 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?
