Some interesting film and breakdowns on the Giants offensive line play this past week. The O line gave Eli time to make his reads and some good throws. Interesting stat is that Eli dropped back 35 times and was hit once all afternoon, according to Baldinger.
The link to his twitter account is posted, where the videos/breakdowns can be found.

Ahead. Fuck around some more with Jerry Reach. Make excuses for his failure. Waste another two or three years before you get someone in here who knows wtf they are doing
Don't be fooled. Teams with talent aren't 2-8 at this stage. Don't let last year be 1970.
Who hired McAdoo?

The players are here. Same players went 11-5. It is the coaches fault for not having the vision to make changes. Brett Jones can play. Fluker should have been put in immediately. Some poor decisions there. In defense of BM, it is hard to make big changes coming of 11-5, but the line was putrid from the preseason well into the schedule. Changes were screaming to be made and he would not do it. Might cost him his job. Lest we forget, young coaches make mistakes. Bill Parcells picking Scott Brunner over Phil Simms comes to mind.

The Maras hire the head coach. Thats pretty much the way it has worked on the Giants.
It’s a shame that Fluker is out now with a toe injury because I really think he worked well with Wheeler. Right side was less of a liability last Sunday. Link - ( New Window )
Thanks for the link. That's definitely a must see.
You really trust the ability of the coaching staff to properly evaluate anybody at this point? 2 guys that are seeing playing time now only due to injury are playing better than the incumbents. If no injuries, no playing time. See how that works?
Interesting comment about Flowers though. We all hate it when he drops his hands and leads with his head, but maybe his problem is that he's trying to do something unnatural. Perhaps as Baldy points out, as long as he ends up with his hands inside, feet set, locked out against the DE and can control his man he's okay.
Either way, it's clear that after all this time, the coaching that he should keep his hands and head up, lead with the punch first in a traditional pass set, isn't working. He may never be able to consistently do that, so as Baldy alludes - perhaps the coaching should change to just encourage him to do it using his own style.
Can't believe I'm writing that. Methinks a better DE would have a field day with a LT who leads with his head. I'm going to watch this closely the rest of the year - will give me something to review games for anyway.
Apparently, there is a term among some football linemen in some circles, where a guy who leads with his head is called a Giuseppe, because he'll eventually end up on his knees.

I think some of you are being a little ridiculous with your praise.
I don't think Jones has been that spectacular and Wheeler has played one game.
How did Bobby Hart look in his first start? Probably good. He went down hill from there.
As for Fluker, he first had to learn the playbook. That takes time. Maybe that is why you didn't see him as quickly as you would have liked.
Who says there was a competition that was taken seriously by these coaches?
