The OL sucked last year & it hasn't looked much better this preseason. Do you move guys around? Do you make a trade? Do you promote someone like Fluker & see what he can do? This offense has some serious skill players, but that doesn't mean jack if Eli has like two seconds to get rid of the ball/Perkins can't find a hole.
Really frustrating to see the OL continuing to struggle. Dallas is less than 3 weeks away.

, especially me but he seems to walk on water and can do no wrong with the front office, enough is enough with this guy he sucks, its time for an upgrade at the GM position..
Are you one of the putzes that thinks he sucks because of the OL but takes the continued strength of the DB's and DE's as a given?

No I'm one of the putzes who thinks Reese was lucky to be able to buy a defense at a time when the team had lots of cap money, but now we don't have that kind of cap money and he seems helpless, and yes I think he sucks because of the O line , its his job to supply what the team needs and he isn't getting the job done, are you happy with the O line??
You don't see a contradiction is ranting against a guy for weaknesses and not factoring in strengths?
If you think the OL has sucked for a long time, well, the DB's and DE's have been very strong for years.
Keep in mind, i didn't see them breakdown as much yesterday either but they sure is shit didn't win at the point of attack either. And getting a stalemate is really losing if your playing offense.
At the end of the day, the Offense doesn't gain anything on first down pressuring the other downs, it punts too often and it doesn't score enough points.
Finding a scapegoat for each play is a waste of time b/c you cannot fire the whole team. You find the worst or repeat offenders and make changes...

I didn't see anything alarming at all.
Every time a nyg rb does something uninspiring everyone just blames the OL. I don't see it all on the OL at all. Perkins is uninspiring. He's not very fast or powerful and he danced a little too much on or or two or three plays tonight.
No RB is going to do well when the defenders are in the backfield and in his face within a step of being handed the ball.
That's not what actually happens every time or even half the time but ok.
