Your insinuation that skill positions will improve the OL's pass blocking is backwards. The ball starts in the QBs hands and is distributed from there.



The skill positions were not winning their matchups early last year. Better skill position play reduces the amount of time the QB has to hold the ball and the line has to hold their blocks.

The guy worked hard last off season and improved

Give him credit, he did the work necessary to become a better player.

Perhaps we will see more improvement this off season.

he didn't become a better Run blocker! He was stood up at the line by Linebackers and Safeties. He has no technique and can not push off. He becomes something you have to run around not through. 11 games went right to Reese's head.
Look Reese expended many assets  
joeinpa : 3/13/2017 4:39 pm : link
to develop an offensive line. If two 1's and a 2 are not a solid foundation, there was not much could be done this off season to fix that.

None of the free agent OL warranted the type of money they were commanding.

Reese should be held accountable for the mess this line was last season, but I don't know what he could have done differently this off season than what he has done.
Flowers concerns me more  
5BowlsSoon : 3/13/2017 4:39 pm : link
Fluker also concerns me. So, it appears we have three guys on this line with concerns. (Assuming Fluker plays RT.)

Eli got the ball out faster than all but one other QB (out of 40 qualifying) last season.

He needs to be allowed to and have the confidence to get it out less quickly, if anything, not quicker. Even with likely better skill players.

I agree, I give him credit for working so hard at camp Bentley but unfortunately effort and determination can't completely erase talent deficiencies. At this stage of his career we know what Jerry is, a decent backup NFL guard.
Why  
AcidTest : 3/13/2017 4:44 pm : link
didn't we spend this money on Robinson? Or will we have to spend another year watching TEs split us down the seam because we don't have a LB who can cover? Too expensive.
Given the crazy amount of money we had in the 2016 offseason,  
Go Terps : 3/13/2017 4:44 pm : link
a starting OL of Flowers-Pugh-Richburg-Jerry-Fluker entering the 2017 season is something that I would deem an organizational failure.
I'm OK with this  
Marty866b : 3/13/2017 4:45 pm : link
We can win with Jerry playing. He messed up in that clip against the Skins but his body of work shows he is a good pass blocker. Mediocre starter and would be a very good backup. The organization knows him well and if they think he's worth bringing back,then he most likely is.

Makes sense, Got it!



Dude, they're bringing back 4 out of 5 players from last year's line. We're not drafting some blue chip OT at #23 or in the later rounds who's coming in ready to play and dominate from year 1, barring something extremely unforeseen. I didn't say it wasn't possible for them to improve..

don't lines improve with continuity so keeping 4 repeating starters should be good since the y know each others strengths and weaknesses

so improvement is a possibility especially when 3 of the starters are young players and need coaching up

Likely bottom of the league (again) as well. Defense better be lights out again just to qualify for the playoffs. Likely zero advancement in the playoffs should we get there.

Yes, lines can improve with continuity. But if there's not enough talent, continuity doesn't matter
Jerry Signing  
Percy : 3/13/2017 5:04 pm : link
Is comforting. He knows how to play and knows the Giants. His absence would have been a problem. This and signing Fluker for RT opens up all kinds of possibilities for OL drafting where the ability to start right away is not a requirement.
You could see this coming  
bceagle05 : 3/13/2017 5:05 pm : link
when McAdoo shifted blame from the OL onto Eli during the combine interview. He knew we'd be trotting out the same garbage next season and wanted to soften the blow. Flowers, Hart, Fluker and Jerry are all below average linemen. Pugh's good, and Richburg is pretty solid. Add it up and the line still blows. I hope there's someone there at #23 who they love.

Eli can mask alot of skill position deficiencies, but even he did not have his best season last year.

Let's see this offensive line can do with legitimate TEs, RBs and more weapons like Marshall and hopefully some early draft picks at skill positions.


Solid point.

I am hoping we draft a great Tight End.

Excited about Marshall and Perkins (as starter)

Well it seems pretty clear from that gif that Weston was supposed to slide his protection to Jerry and that Jerry was expecting help on the inside. Richburg even throws his hands to his helmet when he realizes what he just let happen. it is hard to see from that angle but it looks like he really screwed up his assignment and ended up basically blocking nobody on a rush that sacked the quarterback on his primary gap.

And if we didn't spend on defense last year we would have been lucky to finish .500. Unlike you, I never saw this offense becoming an unstoppable force last year with a few extra pieces. Eli has never been a Peyton Manning/Tom Brady rack-up-the-points QB, for starters, and he's more inconsistent at this stage of his career.

I'm not too enthused about the current OL, but it's not all on them. Eli has to play better (sure he was pressured quite a bit, but there were a lot of plays where he had time and bailed out too early), the skill positions need a talent infusion (hopefully Marshall, Perkins, new RB can help), and a TE that can seal the edge on blocks can make a difference. Oh, and McAdoo could freshen up the play-calling too.

That hit lead to the great performances by Eli in Minn and Green bay where he got rid of the ball when someone got close because he couldn't take another hit.

Because you would have signed whom, instead? And you should incorporate that not plying those dollars into the D would have left the talent from 2015 returning in 2016 into your answer.

This was a necessity, don't know what the complaining is, Hankins is not a necessity, it is a great draft for DT, we have Snacks who is way better, Hankins was never a good option for the money he wants, we needed to keep jerry, now we add a player or two in the draft and we are good to go on the Oline, we also need a couple of players on the Dline.

GMen23 : 3/13/2017 5:43 pm : link
We have an overwhelming weakness in a weak free agency season and draft, for Offensive Linemen. Besides not having the Cap Space to do so, I personally am happy the Giants did not attempt to pay Kahil, Reemers, etc., some of the crazy money they received.
JJ doesn't rock my world, but we need his body in camp, along with our 1st or 2nd Rd. O Linemen. Heres hoping one , of these guys posted above makes it through: The high pre-season choice, who fell a ton, and is now climbing back up the boards, to me seems to be Robinson. All the knocks on Ramcyxk and Bolles seems to basically say not worthy top 10-15 pick. But their value/bpa, seems to be falling in line with 23. Personally if Lamp or Dawkins project as a higher floor/ceiling Guard, then Ramcyzk or Bolles at Tackle, I just want a quality player who will win his match-up. Give me the Guard.
Ramcyzk
Bolles
Lamp
Robinson
Feeney
Moton
Dawkins
It is what it is  
giantgiantfan : 3/13/2017 5:44 pm : link
outside of a shock FA move you have to hope you can get some depth at OL in the first 3 rounds, even if just at guard to protect against Pugh leaving and provide depth options. Hart is nice depth as it stands and the Canadian might be ok. Would like to add a top 100 pick to the mix though.

Unless someone takes him first Reese is in love with the TE from Miami and everyone knows it. I am hoping he is gone by our pick because to me he is a big WR not a Blocking TE two way player we need.
