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.

I think they feel the did address it and they couldn't dump even more resources into a position group that they have already dumped multiple high 1st round picks, several mid to late round picks and almost 10 FAs in the last 2 years. 

They also changed coaches. At some point personnel resources have yo be used for the rest of the team.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on May 15, 2024, 12:52:32 PMFrom reading through this thread it seems like most are of the opinion that Robinson will not provide much production but will help young WRs with his leadership. 

He had 34 receptions last year for 280 yards.  9 of his catches were for 1st downs, which is something I guess.

Does he play special teams? If not, does this seem similar to having Sterling Shepard on the roster last year? 

Bottom roster spots are usually guys who play STs.

We are a long way from final cut downs, and a lot could happen (including Robinson being cut).

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?

Len,

At this point, it seems wisest to take a wait-and-see approach.  On the surface, there seems to be more hope than plan.  Still, the Giants added some mid-tier and lower-tier veterans and hopefully upgraded their coaching.  The hope is that it all comes together and the team has an adequate O-line, but it's more than fair to say that it remains to be seen.   It's funny, as you pointed out that this ended up being yet another Daniel Jones thread (as usual, the ones making it about Jones were his critics).  Still, the ironic part is that Schoen and Daboll's futures may not hinge on Daniel Jones as much as they will hinge on the O-line, where Schoen has invested heavy amounts of draft and cap capital with literally nothing to show for it.

Two Thursdays unusual and against the same team, even more so.  At least that way one is at home. 

2 teams breaking in QBs in weeks 1 and 2, hope that "attacking" defense is ready as those games are probably the best opportunities for victories in the 1st half of the season.

I see a 1 - 7 start and a new HC the Tuesday after Week 8.

Two more wins to round out the season after that.

Should spur some interesting  and enlightening debate when people realize this.

C'mon, Lenn. They're "America's Team". You know that gets them special treatment. It's not a matter of whether or not it's deserved; not when we see how the single worst sonofabitch in the country is still be pandered shamelessly.

Cheers!
