When he said yesterday that we have the answers on our roster to the right side of the line, I thought, at first, he was giving his normal puffery. But, then, I just thought about it in the second and every piece of available evidence makes the statement true. He declined to address it in FA when their were plenty of options and he declined to address it in the draft. At bottom, he just has a different opinion of that side of the line than the vast majority of fans and beat reporters. I don't see any realistic possibility of changing that before the season(doubt we do anything for Davis and if we are holding out or planning for that--which I don't think we are--we are just dumb).
Flowers Pugh Richburg Jerry/Hart Newhouse is our offensive line this year not because there were not better alternatives, but because our GM did not think anything out there was worth replacing them with. He has a lot of confidence in them, we will see if he is right.
We were not expecting to get DRC but that's what happened. I'm sure the Redskins were not expecting Norman to become available but he did. You never know between now and the start of the season.
That's really what Newhouse would be great at.
And it wasn't for a lack of trying. We had Penn scheduled to come in but he never got on the plane..Okung was in, but decided to sign elsewhere..I don't believe we're done and I'm hoping a still not so old Slauson can be signed
I got the impression Hart was being worked at RT as much or more than RG. Hard to tell from the limited reports but that's what I got.
Rodgers or Long? I'm blanking
They looked at the draft and value didn't match with picks.
Instead of loading up with UDFAs who rarely pan out, they have decided to add guys as cuts come. Remember, some good players will be released for a variety of reasons. This is where we will add perhaps 4 guys. 4 proven guys who can step in and play.

Rodgers. One of the kids we signed just prior to the draft. 7th round pick by the Falcons last year, from Eastern Washington.

Btw, when an o linemen gets hurt as he will, we have no depth.
The sooner u guys come to this realization and stop wasting ur time talking about it, the better.
And no, Hart has no chance of beating out Jerry. Zero chance.

although they would like to improve the right side of the line, it's not the need many of us are making it out to be. I'm sure they would like to improve every position on the team but the right side is closer to the top than others. I wouldn't say that will be the line moving forward though. There are still June 1st cuts to be made and trade possibilities.

its the biggest need on the team right now. You can't win a super bowl with Jerry and Newhouse. That being said I am very happy about our offseason right now and I do think they will add someone on the right.

"You can't win a Super Bowl with Jerry and Newhouse"
How the hell do you know? What a silly thing to say.
The Giants won 2 SBs with David Diehl at LT. Diehl makes Newhouse look like a good pass blocker.
Hart was lining up with the 2nd team...at RT.
Jerry is entrenched as the starter. The HC is very high on JJ and he will make the call.

AGAIN, open your eyes and get Jerry's cock out of your mouth. We don't know yet if Hart can claim the job, but he certainly has a chance and will be given every opportunity because Jerry is a fucking ham and egger.

No he won't be, the HC is a big JJ guy and that is who will start.
Jerry's bitch is right, though - JJ will most likely start for us at RG. But that's mostly by default, because his competition for the job is very weak...so far.
Also, his contention that McAdoo loves him is projection, at best. McAdoo's praise has hardly been effusive, and he's made it clear that upgrading the O-Line, if possible, is still in their plans.

Newhouse did not play a single game for the 2010 Packers
We know how that season ended.
Things may not always fall right for them but I doubt he went into the season thinking "I'm not even looking to touch the OL"

Chew on that for a while. Of course, right after that they couldn't wait to run him out of Green Bay, and then he stunk up the joint in Cincinnati.

You're right. My bad. It was 2011, when they went 15-1, but lost to us in the playoffs.

would say anything else? Of course they are not happy with the right side of their line. But he is not going to publicly humiliate players that he may have to use, and he is not going to make the other teams think the Giants are desperate. My guess, they are doing everything they can behind the scenes to remedy the right side of the O-line
Agreed
Yep, what else is he going to say.
I don't think he truly believes it, called PR rhetoric.
There is still a ways to go in the offseason and we have cap room so we could still add players if the right guy shakes loose.
Fair enough the right side of the line did not perform as well as we liked, but let's not forget we have a new Oline coach who has been successful in multiple stops, let's see what he does here, he certainly has plans.
And in the 2nd half when the Giants defense turned up the pressure against Rodgers, it was Newhouse in the middle of all of it that day too.
