Everything ran off of his hip at the G spot gained nice yards. Is he going to be a G for the rest of his career bc he sure looks good at it.
How old is Walton bc he also played good. Do the Giants plan on moving Richburg over to C next year? Pugh also played lights out too.
Or did they just bring in Walton to mentor the rook...I see potential for Richburg at the Guard spot. Reminded me a bit of Seubert
anyone who doesn't wish to talk football and the issue at hand skip to the next post please
Re-evaluate the positions in the off-season.
But chances are there will be an injury somewhere by the time he's back.
I mentioned my concerns about this in a thread yesterday. Coughlin has botched this same situation numerous times. Richburg should stay where he is this season, and have Schwartz take over at RG. Why he wasn't there the minute Snee retired is beyond me.
As for the future, I agree it depends on how the offseason shakes out. If there's a stud, Chris Snee-type guard available in round two to pair with Schwartz, then Richburg goes to C and Walton is likely a goner. If not, I could see Walton playing out both years of his deal.
I also expect him to play better than he did before and be a better player than Jerry...because he is.
Yeah they botched that during the offseason. A lot of us were screaming about Schwartz to RG, but they must have their reasons. Maybe Richburg plays RG when Schwartz comes back, but Richburg to the bench would be ridiculous if he keeps playing as well as he has. I'm having flashbacks to Diehl/Locklear and O'Hara/Seubert from season past.
Richburg needs to play. I don't care where, but there is zero reason to put him on the bench.
Our young players need to play.
This isn't a case like Snee, where the guy gave you all he had foe ten years.

The only reason Snee was on the Giants - in the NFL for that matter - was nepotism. Everyone knows this.
I hope its Richburg at LG and Schwartz at RG.
My point is that Schwartz looked only OK in the pre-season but may look better in the regular season, as the other OL do now.
There's really no sense in worrying about what will happen when Schwartz can go, though. Unfortunately, this stuff usually sorts itself out via injury. Hopefully not. But. It's just one of those bridges we cross when we get there.
I think Richburg probably has more value at G going forward and I'd let him continue to play there.

Easy, Schwartz plays his natural RG position
Too many good players and only 5 can start.
Lets ask Shane Locklear and Jim Cordle.
Schwartz is probably gonna be needed at some point but best case he takes Jerry's spot if everything is smooth sailing 8 weeks from now.
For right now, I don't mess with Walton in at center, but I leave Richburg at left guard and when Schwartz comes back, put him at right guard and move Jerry to the bench as depth. At some point, you know that the Giants will need all these offensive linemen to play.

This one got a laugh outta me. Well played.
he's powerful inside and light on his feet working to the 2nd level. he looks like a plow horse out there.
jerry is one of those guys, you just don't understand why he isn't an All Pro because for stretches, he plays like it. then he can look horrible. yesterday, the "good Jerry" showed up and we were doing whatever we wanted between the tackles.
Schwartz doesn't come back until Nov 3rd so no need to worry about anything for a while. And if the line is performing well my guess is Schwartz is held in reserve because a new change would be kind of silly. Especially since that dislocated toe still may not be strong enough to withstand NFL punishment, even if healed.
Next year is next year...compete for a job. If Richburg is the best center and one of the two best Guards, my guess is he plays Guard while Walton plays Center. If Richburg is the best center and not one of the two best Guards, he should play Center. No?
(1) If he excels at LG, he's helping to protect Eli's blind side. He's a lot quicker than Schwartz (which is very important; the Seubert comparison is right on)
(2) Walton is still young, proven experienced (starter with the Broncos) and doesn't have many miles on him. His best games are ahead of him
(3) Schwartz is an natural RG. (His KC highlights) ….
