linebackers and offensive line

thrunthrublue : 12/9/2017 6:20 pm

not one player from these two squads could start for any nfl team above .500...hope this glaring deficiency gets addressed first.

I'd like to see two big FA OL

and 1 big FA LB plus a re-sign of Fluker and Kennard.

That's my preference.

What good FA OL are available

Because Jerry didn�t think they mattered

Zero.

The Giants may have the best FAs available.

All the good ones were signed last year while Reese fiddled.

Richburg, if you're willing to compromise on your definition of "good."

I don't think

Will Beatty has played a snap for the Eagles. There is a shortage of good Oline guys.

Conversely if one of our guys did play for an above .500 team

markky : 12/9/2017 7:42 pm : link

they would quickly no longer be a .500 team.

The Question:

Name 2 positions Reese almost totally ignored his first 6 years as GM.

Did I win that Jeopardy round?

I would not expect wholesale changes overnight ....

Talent + scheme + availability = a long wait sometimes. Or, a longer wait than we would like.

After the dust settles from the GM and HC hirings, I would just like to see some kind of evidence that the front office acknowledges a little more attention/effort has to be put towards those positions (especially the OL).

I think you mean 'before those hirings'

And for us as outsiders evidence would be found in the resume and stats produced.

Keep in mind that as far as the O Line goes

fbdad : 12/11/2017 3:51 pm : link

most of these guys couldn't start for the Giants either at the beginning of the season. I think some of them weren't even on the practice squad. Injuries have decimated this team and especially at those two positions.

It'll be interesting to

see if they stick with a 43.

A case could be made to go 34.

They've got the best 34 NT in the NFL in Snacks. Big piece.

Tomlinson played 34 DE in college.

Both JPP and Vernon play stand-up OLB's already at points. They could both play 34 OLB.

Goodson seems to fit the profile of a 34 ILB. Big, old school thumper.

Stranger things have happened - I'd be open to a 34 if that's what came along.
