Have Jerry and Jones available off the bench if any of them falters.
Fluker? If you think Jerry can't handle a stunt, Fluker will get Eli killed.
And has Wheeler ever played RT?
Fluker can't possibly be any worse in pass protection that what we've seen from Jerry. Main difference is DJ Fluker's 340-350 pound wide body might help out more in the run game than what Jerry is currently providing.
As for Wheeler, he's the Giants backup tackle. If Hart is injured, Wheeler is the next man up.
Then Hart. Also they need to take Jerry out. People are killing Flowers, but he was better then Hart & Jerry IMO.
They just need to redo the line completely. It really can't get much worse. From left to right I'd go Pugh-Flowers-Richburg-Jones-Fluker.
Flowers just seems like an OG. He's a decent run blocker. His problem in pass protection is speed guys and lunging to get his hands on guys. At OG he'd have to deal with a lot less speed and should be able to get his hands on guys much quicker then he can at LT.
with lineups in pre-season. They have been banking on the same 5 linemen having consistency, chemistry and familiarity with the blocking schemes, but I haven't seen much of that yet.

Actually Fluker is the depth behind Hart at RT, not Wheeler. Fluker actually played better at RT, early in his career, at San Diego.
Well it's no real loss in fact its a blessing. Now don't get me wrong I don't like to see any player Giant or Not get hurt but at least it could force Reese to bring in some guys

If you want to know what the staff thinks of Fluker just look at last nights inactives. He is a bad football player. Couldn't even get a jersey on our weakest unit. Also when Jerry was pulled in preseason Jones was the next man in.
Fluker is not the answer. Unfortunately we don't have many answers to the o line woes.

Not sure what people were looking at in preseason. He is too slow to play in the NFL its really that simple. Pretty funny that we signed him to play in a zone scheme too.
Jones is the guy who deserves to play. Hes a bulldog, we need more guys up front like that. So of course he doesnt play.
LT Wheeler
Lg Pugh
C Jones. Richburgh has really sucked. The pocket constantly gets pushed into Eli
RG Fluker
RT Flowers
Run the ball down their throats on the right side
This is so crazy it just might work ... 2018 OL preview, I expect Wheeler to be the LT at some point
I'd do this, but in 2018, not now. Might keep Richburg, and move Jones to guard. Not sure about Fluker. For now, the only realistic change is replacing Jerry with Jones. But if Hart can't go, I'd try Wheeler at RT. Who else is there? Fluker isn't a RT.

That's too much of a change at this point. Rich hasn't been good, Jones played poorly at C during the preseason as well. I'd want to see how Rich plays with two quality Gs next to him.
Perfect!

There were plays last night where it honestly looked like the Giants had 3.5 OL on the field. F'n disgraceful performance.

I'm in total agreement about Jerry. Put Jones or Fluker at RG and see what happens.
I could agree with this if Wheeler had been practicing at RT. I think Hart would be a dynamite RG. Anything to get Jerry out of there.

I'm not making shit up, look at the depth charts and tell me who's backing up Hart.
The problem is Jerry.

I'm also partial to this alignment, but I worry that Flowers, not having played much, if any, RT, would be jumping offside every other snap count.

lol...i stunk....ankle ankle ankle! I hurt my ankle...afterwards
