From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

Weak until Neal becomes a real RT.  In first game with original starting OL, the right side particularly Neal was collapsing.

I wonder if we will see Neal at RG last 5 or 6 games. He is a huge ? moving forward.   Is he part of the foundation or not? I hope so

Glowinski over the last couple weeks has probably been our best lineman. idk where his head was at early in the year, but he has a pretty decent resume. i think you have to find a way to keep him in there until he proves otherwise. probably put him over bredeson at the moment.

All of our remaining opponents are hoping the Giants keep Neal at RT, especially Parsons.

You can't platoon offensive linemen. They need to gel as as unit and means playing every down. Pick a RT and stick with him.

When Thomas returns, the Giants can focus on helping Neal as much as possible.  Teams can provide cover for one weak OT, but not two.

You think they would move Pugh to RG to help Neal out?  I know Glowinski has been solid recently but Pugh is an established vet.  I also don't know if Pugh has played on the right side recently which would of course also be a factor.  But if Neal comes back and is just as bad they may have to pull him and go with Phillips the rest of the way.  Until he too gets inevitably injured as is the way this season.

Glowinski is an established veteran himself.  I am not sure if one is any better than the other in terms of being able to help Neal.

The last 2 games before Injury he showed real progress in the Miami and Buffalo games.

Pugh has had 73 starts at LG, 7 at RG, and a handful at LT.
