Bredeson is better at Pass protection.

Until Neal improves, the right side will continue to collapse.  He has to get wide faster and his technique has to improve in all aspects of a RT.

Looks like the best OL combo they've fielded all year.  Especially now that Glowinski remembered how to block.  Neal is the wild card.  Get him straightened out or get him help but if he can just not be an absolute train wreck we might see a competent OL for the first time this season!

I don't know that Pugh or glow are better than Brederson.

True, but if the rest of the line is solidified RT can be helped with chipping.  Tough to help 2 or more spots at once.

In the Dallas game when the OL was healthy and all starting, the right side collapsed under pressure particularly Neal almost every pass play.  What has materially changed?  It's not like Neal is playing much better.  Unless the Raiders pass rush from Neal's side is bad, I expect Giants to collapse.  I think Max Crosby lines up over Neal and destroys him lime he does with almost every OL he faces.

Glow has had a few good games after being below average the past 18 games. I'm not sure 3 games is a better sample size than the first 18-19 on future success.
