Richburg to SF per Adam Schefter

weird when Richburg basically called out the entire OL after being on the team for 1 year. He called it "his offensive line" and said that some of the guys basically weren't doing what he was doing in the offseason. Remember that? I was hoping that would be a good thing....it wasn't

I don't get these people. We have one of the worst lines the last few years and an overhaul is needed so when we lose one of the guys that played on one of the worst lines people start complaining? Do they even watch the games? If they did they would know that there was no push from the center spot with this guy.

Too much film out on this guy now. Just line up a big DT on the nose and push him back. Too easy. As an offense I don't know how you can scheme around that.

My mistake Victor - you must know more than the front office in San Fran. Maybe Gettleman should bring you in.

Giants will have an opportunity to get Price, Daniels, or Ragnow in the 2nd if they want a C/OG. Let’s see how it goes.

I'm not disappointed to lose him. As others have said, he's too light to get a push or keep a pocket for the QB.

And Daniels, as good as he is, is also very light. I'm not sure I want to go that route again. I think I'd rathr have Ragnow.

I don't see that working out, but what do I know? He has the mobility, but if he didn't have enough push to play C, he is he going to play OG?

Shanahan does run a zone scheme, so maybe Richburg is a fit there? Either way, it didn't work here, so best of luck to him.

Lmao not to get all technical on you but YES a players value is based off of what the market dictates. You have your answer. So yes he has value clearly. If your going to single out a post at least make sense
That's shanny correct?  
idiotsavant : 3/13/2018 11:09 am : link
At very least running lots of outside zone like he did in atlanta might be easier for the slightly smaller, lighter players as opposed to what mac attempted to run.

That said, I was not a big believer in richburg as our center . Jones seems better anyway. So....who cares, no great loss for us.

And we dont yet even really know our run block style.

Yeah he was not very good but he was light. Maybe a couple of trips to Krispy Kreme will help him.

We tendered Jones and Hilapio and re-signed Greco, so right now its seems like safety in numbers approach and all the contracts are pretty reasonable.

He seemed pretty good but in the end

was never going to resign him. He doesn't have the mass to be a "hog mollie." He's mostly a move player who works best in space, not at the LOS. As others have said, he's cerebral, but gets moved off the ball and pushed back. He also has trouble generating any push at the LOS.

RobCarpenter : 3/13/2018 11:13 am : link
As others noted the interior OL was better without him.

5 years is an absurd contract for him. Seems like SF is panicking after not getting Norwell.

So you think that is somebody signs a player who clearly sucks, he suddenly becomes a good player? That's the George Steinbrenner theory of talent acquisition. Ed Whitson (just one infamous example. Kenny Rogers another) is a good back of the rotation starter, so I'll pay him ACE $$ and he will become one.

Went over this last week. Tim Jernigan called him one of the strongest centers he’s ever faced and a load in the running game. Jernigan is a DT who carries no brief for Richburg . His analysis belies the “finesse, second level” cliches about him . I was off on my estimate about when he would sign. I thought he would be signed on 3-15. Doesn’t take long for offensive linemen to move. Lastly, perhaps some of the disappointment with these guys should be directed toward Solari?

was going on the last few years with our OL! All those high draft picks and nothing to show for it? It was almost as if Reese and McAdoo were trying to screw the OL up. If I had had my druthers I would have liked to have let the OL situation stabilize a bit and see what happened this year. Coughlin does seem to be taking vengeance on the Giants; someone should tell him the people who he has a beef with (maybe justifiably)are gone.

Reese spends all this money on the defense as soon as Coughlin is gone but McAdoo's offense (which is supposedly his strong point) goes down the toilet which just before that year it was one of the highest rated offenses in the NFL if memory serves.

He's not the only recently drafted linemen who started off their career well, then got progressively worse the longer he was on the team.

Richburg's second season was legitimately good. Pugh's rookie year he made the all rookie team at RT.

Richburg went into the tank and Pugh lost his RT job the following season.

and hopefully along with the rest of them (Pugh). Functional guys but not effective and the culture of "underachieving" will likely hamper us. We can lose with different guys with perhaps a fresh start and upside.
Shanahan runs an outside zone blocking scheme  
Vanzetti : 3/13/2018 11:56 pm : link
that will fit Richburg's skill set perfectly

Solari's inside zone scheme never really was effective but that probably had more to do with the RG than Richburg. Also, takes time to develop and Giants never had a consistently healthy OL.
