How bad was Beatty's game?

pjcas18 : 12/21/2014 9:53 pm
He had 4 holds (I think the 4th one was on him - Diehl said it should have been Walton, but whatever), 4 holds which is a rough day by anyone's standards, but as Diehl mentioned, you didn't hear Robert Quinn's name mentioned all game.

Would you trade that for keeping Eli clean for the most part and contributing to 500+ yards of offense?

Does that even out to an average game?

I always struggle evaluating o-linemen, but in this case the penalties highlight a negative.
Beatty has been solid this year  
Jints in Carolina : 12/21/2014 9:54 pm : link
he's fine
We won, put up 500 yards of offense  
mattlawson : 12/21/2014 9:55 pm : link
Eli was kept pretty clean I thought against a VERY good pass rush. Beatty was absolutely fine.
I think it was 3  
Emil : 12/21/2014 9:55 pm : link
But who's counting

The offense had 513 yards, I'm not going to complain that much.
He stoned  
Joey in VA : 12/21/2014 9:55 pm : link
Quinn, not easily done. I'll take 4 penalties over 4 Eli or drive killing sacks.
I have no issue  
pjcas18 : 12/21/2014 9:56 pm : link
with Beatty going forward, or what he's done in the past, I'm talking about today's game.

a cpl of those  
dancing blue bear : 12/21/2014 9:56 pm : link
were legit bad calls. no homer. i think 1 called was actually on Walton. 1 was a terrible call. Beatty has been fine. The Oline played pretty well today. 1 sack, which Eli said was on him (what else would he say)
Diehl said it was Walton  
section125 : 12/21/2014 9:56 pm : link
on the 4th one before Morelli said 65. But Diehl said Walton (55) missed on a reach block and then grabbed his man. I think Diehl was right.

Somebody said two were kinda cheap calls.
He Did His Job Today  
Bob in Vt : 12/21/2014 9:57 pm : link
Quinn was held at bay. One of the holds should have been on JD Walton. I thought another was very ticky-tack.

Overall, he did well, IMHO. Not great, but he held his own and kept Eli safe.
He made them count  
armsteadeatslittlekids : 12/21/2014 9:58 pm : link
They weren't the kind where he was holding on for dear life while the guy takes Eli's head off anyways. He buried Quinn on one of them. That kind of shit hurts the momentum but Quinn was visibly frustrated.
in the context of this particular game, I think he did fine.  
Del Shofner : 12/21/2014 10:00 pm : link
The O was awesome and Beatty's man never got to Eli. You think Eli is complaining about the penalties tonight? I doubt it.
Beatty is Beatty....  
Doomster : 12/21/2014 10:09 pm : link
He will have good games, and he will have bad games.....as long as his bad play does not affect the outcome of the game, no problem....

We are stuck with him for at least another year.....he seems to have recovered nicely from the broken leg.....he's not lights out good, but he has been, possibly the best OLman this year for the Giants..
I said the same on the game thread....  
Simms11 : 12/21/2014 10:10 pm : link
I'd much rather Beatty get penalized for holding then Eli get killed on a free running sack.
Yeah  
pjcas18 : 12/21/2014 10:13 pm : link
to be clear, again, since apparently it's not clear and I might just delete this...

i'm not unhappy with Beatty. And I know PFF rates him as the 4th best NFC LT right now.

I think he's done fine.

but I can't remember an OL having 4 holding penalties in the same game with the Giants in forever. So I'm happy he kept Quinn off Eli, but so often you hear during a game that the the holding penalty that was called stalled the drive. The Giants avoided that today, so it's all good (or not).
He was pretty good IMO  
Big Rick in FL : 12/21/2014 10:16 pm : link
Going after Robert Quinn and Chris Long. Who had a combined 6 tackles, 0 sacks and 0 TFL. Yes he had 3 holding penalties, but he was going against one of if not the best DLine in the league. I'll take that all day.
Charles Brown will tell you it can be much worse against  
Bino5 : 12/21/2014 10:22 pm : link
Robert Quinn
He probably held 20 times  
oipolloi : 12/21/2014 10:22 pm : link
but was only flagged for four of them

Quinn was too quick for him. I think Beatty is passable at LT but Giants will look to upgrade some time in the next few drafts.
Beatty was going against one of the best DLs in the league  
Reese's Pieces : 12/21/2014 10:36 pm : link
in a meaningless game at the end of a very disappointing season for the Rams.

Robert Quinn  
B in ALB : 12/21/2014 10:41 pm : link
5 tackles. 0 sacks. Holding calls are often subjective. And if you've ever played on either side of the line you will agree.

Enough said. Beatty was excellent.

They're always looking to upgrade for the future. What's your point?

He held 20 times? Really? What are you basing that on exactly? Or are you again bullshitting the board?

Beatty has been the best offensive lineman for the Giants this year despite coming off a broken leg and a big contract. Yet it's fans like yourself who just don't fucking get it.

You continue to throw out complete nonsense on BBI and it's beyond ridiculous. I'll venture a guess that you've never played a down of football in your life right? Be honest about it please.

Criticizing a guy coming off a big injury yet managing to rehab all the way to starting every game this season at LT is just unreal. Again - he held 20 times. What the fuck?

o line held off a d line that prides itself on sacks. and not giving

up td's. they played great and in the second half helped the running game as well. the giant o line played the best game of their year, including #65

Nope. Sorry. Two 100 yard receivers and a 100 yard rusher - the first time in over four years - says otherwise.
yeah  
pjcas18 : 12/21/2014 11:38 pm : link
I never played lineman of any type and that's what this thread was about.

I figured people would focus on the holdings, but my point is are they preferable to a sack, and I'd think so, you don't want your QB getting hit, but I do believe a little bit here the end justifies the means. What I mean by that is because the Giants overcame those calls (I think on each drive) to at least score points, they're not focused on.

anyway, I'm not as critical of Beatty as a lot of this site is, I think a RT and moving Pugh would strengthen the line even further, but Pugh played well today too and I love the edge he has out there. Seems like he has a mean streak I don't remember reading about in the draft reviews.

I think you misunderstood Plato's not so well written comment. "they played great and in the second half" seems to reference the Giants OL, not the Rams DL.

Beatty has been fine all year

Some people just won't admit it.

Those were bullshit calls

on Beatty today.
Will Beatty played better this year than he did last year.  
Reese's Pieces : 12/22/2014 2:48 am : link
But if you think he was "fine" all year go back and read some of Eric's game reviews:

After a dropped pass by Larry Donnell, Will Beatty got beat to the inside and Eli was hit as he threw the ball (2nd-and-15 turns into 3rd-and-15). Giants run and punt. On the next series, John Jerry failed to pick up a stunt on 3rd-and-12 and Eli had to throw the ball away. Pugh also had an illegal use of hands penalty. The final dagger was Will Beatty getting beat to the outside on strip-sack-fumble that set the Colts up on the Giants 4-yard line and an insurmountable 37-10 advantage.
I think it was a deliberate strategy  
English Alaister : 12/22/2014 4:24 am : link
You know if you buy Eli time against this D big plays are there all day. Do what it takes to keep your QB upright, you'll lose a battle or two but you'll win the war.
Well , how how bad was Beatty's game?  
Some Fan : 12/22/2014 6:56 am : link
Answer this, how many sacks did those dirty a-holes get on Beatty's side? He kept Eli from injury.
Overall they did a good job.  
Randy in CT : 12/22/2014 7:02 am : link
In retrospect, with that dirtbag team we played, would you have liked them cheap-shotting Eli all day?

Shitty, one-sided, poorly narrated officiating siding with the dirtiest team in the league.

The Rams are officially on my shit list--can't wait to root against them next weekend.
Beatty was fine  
blueblood'11 : 12/22/2014 7:32 am : link
Some of those holding calls were pretty dubious. I've seen worse. I don't know if anyone noticed but he was flying around all over the place down field especially in the second half.
I'll take Beatty's game yesterday every game going forward from him

Fair assessment.
I've never ben a fan of Beatty.

He has a case of Luke Petitgoutitis.

I think the officiating crew was a little flag happy the Rams Tackle # 79 was flagged a couple times too.
The penalites sucked  
Ten Ton Hammer : 12/22/2014 9:14 am : link
but Eli stayed clean except for 1 safety blitz.

he has gone from  
hitdog42 : 12/22/2014 9:24 am : link
most overpaid player on the team

to the most underrated player on the team- he was excellent yesterday - and has been solid most of the season.

I didn't say Beatty was Tony Boseli. He gets beat from time to time...but he's still been a fine LT all year long. You didn't need to point out that Beatty hasn't been perfect this year with a game review comment.

Beatty is not going anywhere so get used to him.

Well PFF gave him his lowest  
pjcas18 : 12/22/2014 10:42 am : link
grade of the season other than the Dallas game.

-2.2 and the 4 penalties and pass blocking were most of it.

But they also had JPP as the worst player on D and I thought he played well, so take PFF ratings with a grain of salt (or ignore them).
He got caught not using his feet enough  
Jimmy Googs : 12/22/2014 12:03 pm : link
but I thought he did above average in a good test.

Refs were basically a joke all game, and not just the fighting...
