You should see them now.  Twitter has been slow in terms of retreiving images

Heard he was trash, seems like camp body.

I don't know much about him, but Stone is an awesome name for an OL

Should boost Neal's confidence.  /sarcasm/

T depth in camp. He isn't up to much but he is better depth than watching Ezeudu embarrass himself. He is a candidate for T4 competing with anyone we draft day 2/3 and any other bodies we add. Makes it even more likely it is G or bust for Neal.

A write-up by NFL analyst Lance Zierlein after his combine, calls him "excellent pass protection", not much of a run blocker. He continues with, "the name of the game is pass protection and Forsythe's talent in that area should make him an NFL starter early on." Of course, that write-up was five years ago at the combine. Zierlein also says he reminds him of Nate Solder of the past (good or bad, you be the judge)

He's in his prime and has played primarily right tackle, and excels in pass protection. He's 26 years old and nearing his prime, so sounds good to me. Hope he came at low cost

Head scratcher. You aren't going to have studs as backups but he was awful last year. I don't know why Schoen even bothered. He isn't an upgrade over our depth last year.

He is horrible 

this is the type of player you cut from a struggling unit.  Not the type of player you add to a struggling unit

We should be looking to get better not replacing trash with trash. I have no earthly clue what Schoen is doing, and I'm beginning to think the whole franchise is brain dead. I used to understand that his hands were tied when it came to cap space but we have money to compete for much better players.

Pretty much exactly what I thought. Why do we even bother with these kinds of transactions? What's the point?

Guard Greg Van Roten is finalizing a deal to remain with the #Giants, per source.

Hopefully as depth because he was solid if very average this past season.

I don't mind Van Roten ..... I thought he was decent enough


The line when completely healthy actually was pretty good

Still would like a new starter , but Joe is finally getting us some depth ....


This could also just mean that we are going into camp with Van Roten vs Neal battle for RG
