How we feeling about the OL?

SanFranNowNCGiantsFan : 11/27/2015 3:03 pm
Flowers Jerry Reynolds Schwartz and Newhouse.

Dudes need to step up Sunday. Give Eli time.
Ehh?!  
Simms11 : 11/27/2015 3:06 pm : link
Jerrys a better pass blocker and Reynolds is a better center then Guard and so I think we'll be ok. This line may have issues running the ball and with stunts and rushes up the gut. We'll see, but unfortunately it will be an away game in a hostile environment.

for Eli's health. If Skins consistently bring it, I fear also we don't have weapons other than OBJ and SV to get rid of ball quickly enough.
Giants need to be successful early spreading the ball around so they can't focus only on disrupting Eli.

Ehh we get rid of the ball quickly these days  
bceagle05 : 11/27/2015 3:13 pm : link
so we can hide a bad OL a little better than in years past.
We have a great young core  
superspynyg : 11/27/2015 3:14 pm : link
Flowers, Richburg, Pugh...

The BBI debate is with Beatty. Some want to release him. Some want to keep him and try him out a RT next year.

I say give him a shot at RT.

Of how bad Reese has been at bringing in quality OL

just brought up the fact that Reynolds is going to have to read what they are doing. They are going to try to confuse him.

I hope that's sarcasm. I don't know of any OL's out there that could sustain injuries to their two top linemen.
quick passing game

crick n NC : 11/27/2015 3:46 pm : link
some LOS type throws to beckham on the outside and let him use his running skills. The Giants used to throw that pass quite a bit to Hakeem Nicks

Reynolds has been in the NFL for 7 years, either on the active roster or practice squad.

His dad has coached running backs and OL for 30 years at BYU. He has two brothers who have played OL in the NFL.

It's true he has only played one season as a starter for the Eagles but I think he will be up to the challenge mentally. I would expect more running between the tackles with Reynolds and Jerry.

Have to step up. They've had 2 weeks to prepare for the skins.
Eli had lots of time to throw  
OdellBeckhamJr : 11/27/2015 4:53 pm : link
with Jerry and Reynolds out there. He actually had more protection than he usually did. Ground game will suffer though.
It's the best we have at the moment.  
BlueClaw : 11/27/2015 4:53 pm : link
It's scary but eli is playing well and has really clicked with McAdoo's offense. I am sure we will adjust the game plan to protect eli, Eli will protect himself as best he can and get rid of the ball quickly. The ball will be coming out quick to OBJ, I just hope randle and harris can help a bit and take some pressure off Odell. We need wr's to step up. Harris has been good we'll need him sunday. Lets go Nicks. I'm hoping for a revival of the old hakeem/eli connection.

This would be a good strategy, those A gap blitzes were a huge problem last year, but Reynolds did well against New England. He's better than that scrub we had starting last year at center. I would also hope McAdoo has a plan for those A gap blitzes like heavy use of short pass and RB/WR screens. This might be a game where you feature Vereen cause of his blocking and pass catching.

Lets not forget that Washington had problems stopping Randle in week 3. We still have Randle, but we also have Harris well integrated into the offense now and that blast from the past Nicks.

Didn't we just play a team that has?

DC has 17 sacks on the season. It's not their team's strength. Eli gets rid of the ball quickly. I am not worried about Eli's health. I am more concerned about the running game.

Hopefully.

But Eli Manning has been knocked out of game only once his career and that came when Dallas Reynolds' man blew past him.
As for our OL,  
Doomster : 11/27/2015 5:07 pm : link
one more injury and we are in the shitter....better keep out fingers crossed....next up, Nikita?
Indict JR because our we don't have enough depth on the OL  
grizz299 : 11/27/2015 5:20 pm : link
Pugh, Beatty, Weston go down and the yutz cites JR failure.

We are effectively starting three backups, a rookie and an average guard.
I don't think there's another team in the league that has the quality and experienced back-ups that Reynolds, Jerry and Newhouse provide. But by all means, rant, vent, pontificate, grab attention and show us how bright you are.

Reynolds is a veteran. His talent is a big dropoff and that hurts but I DON'T see him making as many mental mistakes as a rookie or 2nd year guy making his early starts in his career.

Just wow how our strong OL can seemingly overnite go downhill.

I am just hoping our defense can hold the fort against a decent offense.

Eli can't turn it over, ya know how he forces things sometimes. I say play "our game" of 1,2,3 FIRE the ball. Keep the SKINS from zeroing in.
looking good with  
TMS : 11/27/2015 5:50 pm : link
Pugh, Richburg and Flowers. Tough losing Beatty who I like, if he wants to do it and does have the ability and skills to make it happen. Think Reese really screwed the team early with his Accoursi attitude about the the OL. We may have lost a a few SB opportunities because of this nonsense regarding the value of OL with a QB like ELI.
They've also

The running game has sucked all year. It can't be much worse on Sunday.

Eric, he was also playing LG then too. I think he's a much better center then Guard.
All things considered...  
Milton : 11/27/2015 9:33 pm : link
I think the Mara/Reese/Coughlin braintrust deserves credit that even with the absence of projected starters Beatty, Pugh, and Richburg, the Giants can field a veteran group of OL in which none are turnstiles or undrafted rookies. When it comes to starting three backups at the same time, you could do a lot worse than Newhouse, Jerry, and Reynolds.
The offensive line won't be terrible  
Patrick77 : 11/27/2015 9:43 pm : link
But then again this offense hides a lot of issues.
I expect no push or success in the run game even though the opponent is weak.
I expect short quick passes so little pressure will be seen.
I expect Newhouse, Schwartz, and Jerry to each have a handful of complete whiffs.
Reynolds if he whiffs will get Eli killed so I hope I don't see that.
Flowers will be solid and occasionally give up an outside speed rush as Eli steps up and gets rid of the ball in 2.2 seconds.

If we start going deep often then I could see some issues.
How's Whitlock as a blocker?  
Bill in Del : 11/27/2015 9:45 pm : link
Could they use him in some passing situations to help?
not worried  
area junc : 11/27/2015 9:48 pm : link
Jerry is probably one of the best backup G's in the league and Reynolds has been here almost 2 years. He knows what he's doing and both of these guys have known they're going to play + i expect that to be reflected in their performance
this  
Gmen108021 : 11/27/2015 10:30 pm : link
is going to be similiar to eagles game. we are going to do short passes etc, then eagles will come up to stop that and eli wont have time to throw downfield...i think we could be in some trouble but heres to hoping we win
Not good  
AP in Halfmoon : 11/27/2015 11:01 pm : link
It's definitely the weak link.
The spot duty Reynolds was doing in the Pats  
USAF NYG Fan : 11/27/2015 11:46 pm : link
game was scaring me. Those shotgun snaps to Eli did not look good. Other than that, if Eli can get the ball out quick against a very depleted Redskins secondary, I think it will be ok.
