This year, it might make him more open to making this move. It reminds me of a few years back when he didn't make the move for Tony Gonzalez. Too old, asking too much,salary too high etc.
I think everyone here who was against that trade, in hindsight wish the Giants had made it.
Give Eli an All Pro LT to finish out his career. He's earned that.
I think everyone here who was against that trade, in hindsight wish the Giants had made it.
At the time, certainly tempting. Gonzalez is a legend. But, in hindsight?
Atlanta gave up their 2010 2nd rounder.
In 2010, the Giants drafted in that round...Linval Joseph. A key part of the 2011 SB team and current monster in the NFL (who would still be a Giant but for $$).
Giving up premium picks, unless it's for absolute prime players in their mid-20s, is foolish.
RE: RE: Front office is lost - 3rd and that's it to bail out
Morons didn't even select one lineman in the draft
Name the lineman you'd take in what round and who do you give up. You have 7 games of hindsight.
Wtf does that mean? What lineman when? Last draft, two years ago? Next year?
I'm going to go out on s limb here and suggest that he is talking about the draft you were referring to; The most recent one. You know, the one in which the "morons" didn't select an OL.
Been playing this season? If he's been playing well, or well enough to give Eli more time than EF, it should be worth it.
Think of this from Elis perspective: if he has more time, the has more confidence. More confidence likely means truer passes, and maybe more important it gives a receiver time to get open, with a more confident QB.
If JT can run block well enough so they have a better ground game and not be 2nd or 3rd and forever the options increase.
Plus, just the idea of a probowler at LT has to jack up the play of the OL just to try to play up to that level.
I agree with Sy about not assuming a smooth transition or EF going to the bench(JRs pride/ego).
So EF stays at LT and we have what we have, Beatty comes in and EF goes into RT training, maybe OJ.T., or they pull the trigger.
I'm thinking about Eli and the confidence/ more receiver time thing, and if JT has been good, I'm for making the move ASAP with the extra week.
That said,I give it a 1% chance of happening.
I wouldn't do it. And with Hart's play at RT I'm not sure whether
we'd be better off with a dominant run-blocking OG than a Tackle. Hart's been much better than Newhouse, imo.
And, as Sy mentioned, there's no guarantee that Flowers could move seamlessly to RT...indeed, he's never played RT before as far as I can recall, both in college and the pros. And he doesn't seem like the quickest learner out there.
You can't really bitch about who the Giants took in this last draft
Most if not all of the picks have flashed and wtf is some 3rd or 4th round tackle gonna do for this team right now and even beyond? Odds are nothing. And again, the Giants did well last April.
But we still have a ton of issues: OL, MLB, TE, even WR. We need a guy on the outside opposite OBJ so Shep can play slot, and I don't think that Cruz is the difference maker he once was.
what did the Jets give up to get Brandon Marshall?
For a third and Beatty would be good or a fifth next year also which could become a fourth with performance factrs. There is NO way you trade a second since we have Flowers and Beatty plus Pugh should a rash of injuries hit the LT position. It's a need but also a very good player is available but not at that price plus his contract.
Then comes the question will Thomas make the offense that much better I'm not sure. When I look at this offense Eli is playing like crap, we don't have any speed in the backfield along with the fact Shepard and Cruz are both slot guys. Look around the NFL every OL is being challanged to protect the QB it's not just a Giants problem. I saw Tannehill running for his life yesterday without his legs he would have been sacked 6-8 times, how about Eli that becomes 8-12 and two or three fumbles. The first thing we need to ask ourselves is will Eli really be that much better if no matter the price Thomas is brought in?
But at 32 i wouldn't give away a farm for him. Only reason id consider is the state of this OL..no sugar coating it..theres problems with it if you show a putrid running game that it has shown
Yes he's almost 32 but he's still a top 5 LT IMHO. A future Hall of Famer. Yes he will start to go downhill in a year or two if it hasn't already started happening but a LT of his caliber going downhill is still better than most the league. It would kinda go against the grain of the Giants trying to get younger but then again I think they are seeing the results from a lack of veteran leadership. A 2nd rounder could be a great TE or OG towards the future. We don't know the status on Beatty. This isn't Madden so I don't think he'd step right in no matter how good he is. His contract isn't exactly cheap and he doesn't want to leave the Browns. Not sure how he would play in NY when he wants to stay in Cleveland.
Really tough call.
How many years does he have left on his contract? Cap/salary?
Other than his age, you dont want to give away a high draft pick for a guy who's going to hit FA after a year or 2.
On the positive side, if Giants think he still has the goods, they can
(1) avoid outbidding other teams in FA for a decent free agent, or investing a high draft pick on a guy who may or may not work out, and would probably need time to develop
(2) SB would be carried by the Browns, lessening the cap hit
(3) An "older" contract would likely be cheaper than a newer contract (salaries increase considerably every year), reducing the future cap number even further
(4) Improve the team immediately
(5) Reduce their needs, which I think they still have a few, that need to be addressed in FA/draft.
I don't think we are only one offensive tackle away from being a good team.
I think solidifying this line would be a huge step in the right direction. It improves both tackle positions with Flowers sliding over.
A solid OL makes this a playoff team.
Other than QB, its hard for any single player to change/improve the team single-handedly, but its a step in the right direction, and reduces other needs.

It's a response to YOUR post. You're the one who posted "Morons didn't even select one lineman in the draft". WTF were you talking about?
I've listed the lineman for years. Who would you give up doesn't make an sense nor does the hindsight comment as I've been posting lineman names for years.
They didn't draft Richburg? They didn't draft Pugh? They didn't draft Hart? 4 of the 5 starting OL were drafted. But you call them "Morons" for not drafting OL?
The Giants will exist after Eli and what's to say Eli doesn't leave in two years.
No to a 2nd rounder for Thomas. Anything less, ok. Then, do you move Flowers to RT? How is that helping Richburg, who seems to be having a rough year and seems to be the problem with the running game.
What I don't understand is when Hart took over for Newhouse, he and Jerry seemed to be doing a good job run blocking - opening holes and moving their assignments backwards. What has happened? It might be the lousy inside handoff or just piss poor design of plays.
In three or four years when those guys are done, so will Eli be done. If we don't protect him, we diminish Eli. Four years of this putrid football has been enough. If the current trend contI use, we will finish either in 3rd or 4th of the NFC East and another year of no playoffs.
They didn't draft Richburg? They didn't draft Pugh? They didn't draft Hart? 4 of the 5 starting OL were drafted. But you call them "Morons" for not drafting OL?
You are so funny. Haha. Are you kidding me? Obviosuly you're not. Look at the draft history. I've listed it endless times. Since 2009 they've drafted only three offensive linemen in the first three rounds which equates to three linemen, no right side and no depth. Hindsight my tail. Several have been begging for linemen since 2011 and the product shows.
Name the right side and depth. Can you even name the backups drafted? There are none
Seems like you've changed trajectory on your complaint
If you're saying the Giants don't draft enough on the OL it's one thing, implying they don't at all is another.
Not to mention most of the NFL builds their line the same way - draft picks for a few, FA for some others, reserves drafted in later rounds. The bigger problem is that we haven't *hit* on a reserve OL in some time.

Trolling around is your game, we get it. They drafted nobody this past year so I'm correct you dope. A few bodies since 2009 is your positon lol. Clearly you don't follow this team too closely and honestly can't figure out the OL has been a problem for years. You see bodies wearing the uniform so chalk it up as attention. Heck, Bobby Hart wasn't even a starter in college yet he's already a starter hereb/c there is no depth. Oh yeah, great job.

Another fella doesn't realize they didn't draft anybody. Who was the big free agent signing this past offseason.
When you add three guys over six years. That's not paying attention. Compare it to how many bodies have been drafted for WR and HB that never contribute or contributed. The lists is a mile long and good linemen were passed up. Hence, the mess of today.

It took 3 posts for you to admit you were talking about this year. Now back to my original post. I'll type slowly for you.
Which lineman would you have drafted this year? What round would you have used to select him? Which player that was drafted would you give up for your choice? There have been 7 games played this year so you have the benefit of hindsight to make your selection.

Who the fuck was abailable to sign? Okung? Penn wanted back in Oakland. Jake Long is a cripple..WHO was available that wasn't snapped up immediately after FA started while we were fixing our historically bad D? WHO???
Heck, Bobby Hart wasn't even a starter in college yet he's already a starter hereb/c there is no depth. Oh yeah, great job.
Ah, hate to break it to you, but Hart started playing (starting) midway through his freshman year at FSU as a 17 year old. He started a LT and moved to RT and was basically a 4 year starter on one of the best programs in Div 1. So obviously you know jack shit.
we got Weston Richburg, Landon Collins and Sterling Shepard as second round picks -- you really want to give up a second rounder for an expensive old lineman ? It really doesn't seem very prudent to me - that's the kind of move that kills the cap and creates a problem two or three years down the road.

I watch ever Fla State game and he was brought in and out often. Think he dropped to Round 7 b/c he was a four year starter? I know more than you fella so stick shit comment in your foul mouth.

Not at that age. Considering the hit rate of 3rd Rounders though. I might do it. No way for a 2nd or better.

and get pissed the Giants, who were among many other interested teams, didn't sign him.
I'm curious what this teams looks like if we don't have Snacks or Jenkins and instead have a top paid Guard or RT. I'm guessing we still don't run the ball all that well and we either get run on, or passed on at much higher rates.

Listen you pathetic child, I have seen over 1000 Giants games in my life. I have never played one second of FF, nor do I ever intend to..Suspend the nastiness, grow up and answer the facts put forth to you. READ the posts comprehensively instead of perusing them in passing and opting instead to trot out the usual standby cliches that say nothing..
Unfortunately NYG will go forward with this very unstable group of OL.
They already gave up their #1 for Bradford.
I think everyone here who was against that trade, in hindsight wish the Giants had made it.

Seamless? Not likely, but I still see Thomas at LT and Flowers at RT as a net gain even if Flowers continues to struggle.
I'd pull the trigger at a more reasonable cost.

How long will Eli play?
On the other hand, a 3rd and a 4th would be a better risk-reward. Sometimes teams are tempted by more picks even if they're worth less.
Really tough call.

(1) avoid outbidding other teams in FA for a decent free agent, or investing a high draft pick on a guy who may or may not work out, and would probably need time to develop

Heck, Bobby Hart wasn't even a starter in college yet he's already a starter hereb/c there is no depth. Oh yeah, great job.
It took 3 posts for you to admit you were talking about this year. Now back to my original post. I'll type slowly for you.
Which lineman would you have drafted this year? What round would you have used to select him? Which player that was drafted would you give up for your choice? There have been 7 games played this year so you have the benefit of hindsight to make your selection.
Do you understand now?

They didn't draft Richburg? They didn't draft Pugh? They didn't draft Hart? 4 of the 5 starting OL were drafted. But you call them "Morons" for not drafting OL?
Good lawd. I just don't understand why people just don't get it..Does it matter if Reese did indeed fuck up years ago as it pertains to the OL? It's over with. Done. Finito. The last bunch of years he's addressing it..Enough already with this crap. It really is getting old..
Another fella doesn't realize they didn't draft anybody. Who was the big free agent signing this past offseason.
When you add three guys over six years. That's not paying attention. Compare it to how many bodies have been drafted for WR and HB that never contribute or contributed. The lists is a mile long and good linemen were passed up. Hence, the mess of today.
Who the fuck was abailable to sign? Okung? Penn wanted back in Oakland. Jake Long is a cripple..WHO was available that wasn't snapped up immediately after FA started while we were fixing our historically bad D? WHO???

Ah, hate to break it to you, but Hart started playing (starting) midway through his freshman year at FSU as a 17 year old. He started a LT and moved to RT and was basically a 4 year starter on one of the best programs in Div 1. So obviously you know jack shit.

I watch ever Fla State game and he was brought in and out often. Think he dropped to Round 7 b/c he was a four year starter? I know more than you fella so stick shit comment in your foul mouth.
Not at that age. Considering the hit rate of 3rd Rounders though. I might do it. No way for a 2nd or better.

Hart Bio - ( New Window )
I'm curious what this teams looks like if we don't have Snacks or Jenkins and instead have a top paid Guard or RT. I'm guessing we still don't run the ball all that well and we either get run on, or passed on at much higher rates.
This wasn't a 1 offseason fix.

Osemele, thanks
Again, re-read my post. FA started March 9th..Osemele was assigned less than a day later while we were fixing our pathetic D..You're quite welcome..
Osemele, thanks

Obviously you're part of that group that believe attention was really given to the OL over the years. The line's play speaks for itself without even digging into the history. You think otherwise, good for you. The line stinks for reasons which escape you.

Since you had no answer to my fact-based responses, You gave an answer that is typical of a person who has none. A vacuous response that says absolutely nothing..Throw out the "obviously you're part of the group...." line that somehow and mysteriously is dupposed to make some point..I gave you facts, now refute them..You said, "Osemele, thanks." I provided you with info that showed you were wrong. Refute that instead of trying to escape tge conversation with the handy copout ("obviously you're part if the group") indigenous to those who have nothing to refute..We're done here..

Not going to dig for every post I've made regarding the OL appease your type skippy. The OL stinks so who knows what you have followed over the years or are aware of today. You sound like a fantasy kid. Bug off

Listen you pathetic child, I have seen over 1000 Giants games in my life. I have never played one second of FF, nor do I ever intend to..Suspend the nastiness, grow up and answer the facts put forth to you. READ the posts comprehensively instead of perusing them in passing and opting instead to trot out the usual standby cliches that say nothing..
