Typically Tuesday's are the day of the week where most teams work out free agents, and if there are any signings, they come late Tuesday night.
You would have to think the Giants will be looking at OL today, partially because of Sunday's performance, but maybe even more so because of the Hart "Ankle".
If Hart is unable to go what are our options at RT? The team seemed resistant to putting Fluker outside, Wheeler only played LT during the preseason and Jones is interior only. Bisnowaty is the only T on the practice squad, he would not get the call up.
How the veteran workouts today are handled will tell you a lot about Hart's injury as well as the Giants plan to make any changes. Do they trust Wheeler starting for them on the right side? Are they open to moving Fluker back outside? Do we bring a veteran (Jah Reid?) in?
Take the guys that are left, put a big red X through all those guys, and go back to the guys that were ruled out.
Do the opposite -
But what a headline it would be if the Giants started a completely different offensive line Monday night.
Sign 3-4 FAs today/tomorrow, release a couple guys, and just see what happens.
Sure. It COULD get worse. But oh what fun this place would be!
If Hart can't go, something has to give. There is no RT on the roster right now.

Exactly my point of making this post, if Hart can't go we would have to do something drastic and it would give a good indication of how the Giants really plan to go through the season.
Moving Pugh from LG would be considered a drastic move. They don't have many options on their current roster or practice squad though.
Wheeler is the back up at LT, not RT and he hasn't played or practiced there?! Fluker is the RT back up on the depth chart. He's played the position in San Diego and has practiced in a limited capacity here at RT. IMHO, I think Fluker will be the guy right now. Bis is nowhere close to being a contributor and I get the desire to put Wheeler there, but I think he'd get killed there, at least this year.

This. While Pugh could probably slide over to LT without too much trouble, you can't just plant Flowers at RT and expect him to be able to play it. He would have to relearn everything. The only way a change is made at LT is if Flowers is benched.
If Hart can't go, it's Fluker at RT. I think he will be better in the run game, but how much worse can he be at pass pro?
Yesterday's analogy to Dave Kingman was perfect ...1 HR for every 4 strikeouts.
He just cannot gauge OL talent.
