and I agree he looked good. I didn't see any mistake. He got 2 plays where he guided the DE behind Eli, which is normal sometimes, and all other times he stopped him at the line. The first sack wasn't on Flowers, Flowers went and blocked the LB because it was supposed to be bubble screen.
I also find it ridiculous to believe Ranaan over MacAdoo. Ranaan is trying to sell clicks and knows less about football than I do. I also don't want to start counting his practice plays and stressing when one goes wrong. We could do the same for any player out there, including Eli. Its PRACTICE.
I'm happy he did well last week, but his problem is consistent solid performance. It is not totally surprising to see him have a good game. He was very good in some games last year.

Ben McAdoo left the door slightly ajar today for rookie Davis Webb to compete with Geno Smith and Josh Johnson for the Giants' No. 2 QB job

Didn't see anyone but The Giants Insider tweet about this earlier. Good to see one of the well-known beats is confirming this; that's why I'm posting a tweet on this topic again, so don't kill me. :)
Reese has done a good job being stubborn about EF as the LT, and not a RG,to the detriment of the team; so much so that he has acquired more offensive weapons to cover up his distain for offensive lineman(3 years into EF and he waits to rd 6 for Biz?).

also spent weeks hounding Reese regarding the late round picks thing where he presented Reese with his evidence and embarrassed himself doing it. He is more and more sounding like a frustrated fan than a football reporter.
To verify Flowers' struggles, I showed a handful of the lowlights to several ex-NFL offensive linemen and some independent offensive line coaches. They all agreed it was brutal. One said: Worst Ive seen, period."
Very encouraging stuff there regarding E-wreck the season Flowers.
Raanan seems hell-bent on proving his assertion that Flowers sucks and sounds like a guy with an agenda at this point.
I'll let the tape speak for itself this year. The guy had a solid outing against PIT. Let's see if he can build on it.
People say "he has an agenda" when they don't like what you write. It's happened to me a bunch of times.
More likely: He sent a viewing link (to a video he didn't prepare) to 2-4 guys he knows around the league who'll talk to him on condition of anonymity. The ones who responded agreed on what they saw and he used the juiciest quote. IF they'd disagreed, the story would be "Mixed verdict on Flowers."
That's how it works, guys. There are ways to slant a story, and slanted stories exist, but 99% of the time it's just reporters asking experts and reporting back the responses. There's some selection bias in who gets asked and self-selection bias in who responds, and sometimes you end up presenting info from a bad source, but that's not usually the reporter trying to slant the story.

It's not stubbornness to quit on a 9th overall pick in two years. If football teams were operated on the same fickle tastes as fans nobody would be able to fill a roster.
a daily basis. He sees a guy that just is not growing as a player. Either Flowers has rocks in his head and can't grasp what is being taught, or he's not listening to his coaches. Now, morons on this board will point to Vernon, stating how good he is and so on. Is Flowers not going to be lining up against top pass rushers? Or do you think he will be blocking Frankie Ferrera types? Jordan sees potential with this team. But if you can't block, then you can't run or pass. It's football 101.

.@EliApple13 (ankle) says he's not sure if he'll be ready to go on Monday, is taking it day by day. #NYGiants
