Renner PFF: RANKING ALL 32 OFFENSIVE LINE UNITS HEADING INTO THE 2017 SEASON
"28. New York Giants
Few teams have larger chasms on their offensive line than the left side of the Giants line. Ereck Flowers has had serious issues in pass protection over the course of his career and led all tackles in pressures allowed as a rookie. Next to him is left guard Justin Pugh who has been a top-15 guard when healthy over the past two years."

Breer MMQB: How All 32 NFL Teams Handle Analytics

"NEW YORK GIANTS
The Giants are quiet about it, but they’ve pushed forward aggressively and, it was explained to me, are “very optimistic” with the early results they’ve gotten. Jon Berger is the team’s senior director of football information, and analyst Tyseer Siam is considered a rising star in the field. GM Jerry Reese is considered a proponent."
