Can Beatty play RT?

BigBlueJ : 8/30/2015 12:38 pm
I know traditionally the RT spot is a power area. But I like the idea of a very athletic tackle on the ends.
played RT when he was a rookie  
sundayatone : 8/30/2015 1:04 pm : link
was not very inspiring.
should be great for pass protection  
Lionhart28 : 8/30/2015 1:09 pm : link
and he can't be any worse than Newhouse in the run game.
Actually his short stint in the beginning at RT  
Dry Lightning : 8/30/2015 1:12 pm : link
was the best he ever played. Which isn't saying much.
Not too good at

LT so how much worse could he be at RT
Beatty is a solid LT

I dont understand the hate for this guy
im all for it  
NYG4246 : 8/30/2015 1:57 pm : link
never thought he was a bad Lt, dont get why everyone hates him. When he comes back though, he should go to RT unless Flowers is really struggling
You don't understand the hate ?  
Headhunter : 8/30/2015 1:58 pm : link
Are you new around here? You name the owner, GM,coach, coaches, players,equipment manager, ball boy, medical staff, strength and conditioning staff. The only one to escape is Pat Hanlon
when is he

I agree Tuck, the hate is ridiculous and unsubstantiated, for the most part, when compared to all LT's in the NFL. Will is a fine Pass Pro.
Beatty draws a few holding penalties  
xman : 8/30/2015 2:09 pm : link
and gives up sacks. He is not a good LT.

Yeah, he is a good LT. Name any OT that doesn't give up sacks or the occasional penalty.
Beatty's an average left tackle.  
Ira : 8/30/2015 2:15 pm : link
At right tackle, he'll be good against the pass but won't help much with the running game.

On here are outstanding... Unfortunately it's one of the attractions of the sport. Some frustrated wannabe can sit on his couch, recall his glory days at Smallville High where he started his senior year some thirty years ago and be critical of every call and every player.
Wm. Beatty is a very good professional football player and quality person. And. contrary to the thoughts trumpeted here , if he wasn't the Giants wouldn't have offered the contract that they did.
His pass blocking is above average and his run blocking is much better than this board (generally) gives him credit for. Both are substantiated by observation and that independent rating system.
He is also a guy that will give you all he's got. And he was man enough after his terrible year (when he played hurt) two years past to stand up and publicly apologize. "the Giants", he said, " gave me and my family wonderful security and I let them down, I will work in the offseason and have a better year"... (or words to that effect) and then he came in and he did exactly as he promised. And he was set to have a better year this year when that damn accident happened.
Of course he can

Pugh played RT last couple of years. He is certainly no power house.
And some moron writes...  
grizz299 : 8/30/2015 3:00 pm : link
"he gives up sacs"...Oh really, how many and how many is within the providence of very good?

It's like saying Rogers throws incompletions, Sandy Koufax threw balls, Jimmy Brown lost yardage, Joe Louis got hit, Joe Dimaggio struck out and American Pharoh lost a race yesterday.

Good contribution Grizz299.
He can play it better than Newhouse

If giving up sacks and drawing penalties is the criteria  
Mason : 8/30/2015 4:37 pm : link
for being a bad LT than his predecessors at the position must have been pretty shitty LTs over the last couple of decades because yeah, they gave up quite a few sacks and drew a high number of penalties at LT. Pro Football Reference can be your friend.

I think it's a legitimate question  
Reb8thVA : 8/30/2015 4:38 pm : link
Since Flowers is going to entrench himself at LT
Beatty is an above average pass blocker and below average run blocker  
sb from NYT Forum : 8/30/2015 11:11 pm : link
...so I would agree that he is solid, but not great. His biggest problem has been injuries though.
He beat Diehl for the starting job at LT in camp  
David in LA : 8/30/2015 11:16 pm : link
before he had the detached retina later in the year. He's not a very physical blocker, but he has nice length and quick feet. He's been a mixed bag, but overall solid player.

Beatty played some serviceable RT early in his career  
JonC : 8/31/2015 9:22 am : link
He's going to get a shot there, given his contract and the loyalty the coaches figure to show him.

The one thing they've been trying to accomplish with the OL is to set four positions leaving only RT subject to change, unless the OL was performing poorly enough to require change.

And how many times have you been "forced" to say this? 20? 30? You know what the comprehension level is around here..:)
