Giants must see more in Ezeudu than I do.  If he has to play much, either at OG or OT, we're in trouble.

At the very least, they see a high 3rd round pick.  Picking a guard high in the third round usually yields a serviceable starter

And due to an injury last year he's only played in 16 games in his 2 years.  OL is a developmental position and you have to give a guy time and a decent coach to develop.  Neither of which Ezeudu has had, yet.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

"Don't judge a player when they're young, and don't judge a player when they're injured," Bricillo said Thursday when referring to Neal.

Neal has either been a raw rookie playing on the opposite side, or injured. I think he ends up being a solid starter if he can stay healthy.

And Ezeudu is young and was injured, which is why it is wrong, IMO, for some fans to just write him off.  In addition to the guys we brought in we have 3 guys, Ezeudu, Neal, and JMS who fit into Bricello's caution.

Bricillo might be the single most important offseason addition. If he can create a functional scheme and get Neal, JMS and Ezeudu to play nearer to draft status and create some rotational versatility he will deserve a medal. IF!! So much is riding on that. If the OL can approach average it will help the whole team as the O can function better and the D will be able to stay fresher and function more often in normal game situations.
If you live your life as a pessimist you never really live your life at all.

Completely agree, I also think they should leave Ezeudu at one position.

Yeah, I think the desire for flexibility can retard a young guy's development.

I hope I don't get flashbacks of Jim McNally and musical chairs. May he RIP.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
