O’Hara on WFAN re: Flowers

8TimeChamps : 3/23/2018 8:38 pm
This definitely lowered my confidence in Flowers moving to RT. Certainly an opinion I value regardless of what I was hoping to hear.
O’Hara - ( New Window )
O'Hara's been destroying Flowers for quite some time.

Rightfully so.
...Yikes!

Sorry - English is my 2nd language. You don't detect the accent in my typing?

Yes, it should. But periods go inside quotation marks.
This is a good interview ...

touches on a lot of things.
It still amazes me  
Jay on the Island : 3/23/2018 8:59 pm : link
that Reese went into last season with Flowers and Hart at OT with nobody to back them up but a 6th round pick in Bisnowaty and an UDFA.

2 out of 3 ain't bad ...? I got a period after bear. I also have a period after everybody. So I missed one.
I wish

there was a single host on WFAN who was a Giants fan that would have asked about Flowers possibly moving inside if RT didn’t work out. Too much to ask for even a single host who wasn’t obsessed with the Jets.

I thought he raised some salient points regarding the merits of OBJ and extending him.
I actually thought the Flowers talk was the least interesting info.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/23/2018 9:14 pm : link
He had a lot to say about the QBs in the draft and said he thought they'd all be very good dependent on coaching. Liked Cleveland and the Giants for having the people in place to develop a young QB.

great interview  
japanhead : 3/23/2018 9:40 pm : link
o'hara give a lot of insight on eli, jpp, odell situations. but yea, flowers may be a lost cause on either side if he sticks with the sloppy technique.

Where does the question mark go?

didn't remember yogi bear hugging so much.

stated himself that he was just as comfortable from either a left or right side stance and has played both tackle positions at ND. If he was a potential replacement at RT, does the value there fit better if they take him at 2? Everyone is saying you can’t just hide a guy from great rushers at RT anymore.

Also inside the quotation marks. Well done.
He's not the first former NFL lineman to say  
nyjuggernaut2 : 3/23/2018 10:54 pm : link
that Flowers moving to RT won't change anything unless he fixes his technique. I heard Geoff Schwartz and David Diehl say the same thing.
I agree with the three former linemen  
Since1965 : 3/23/2018 11:01 pm : link
RT will be just as bad at LT. Put him inside where he can rely on his power and not have to worry as much about guys running around him.

Actually, in this case, outside the quotation marks since it's not part of the original quote; rather, the quote is part of the question.
In American English, yes  
George : 3/24/2018 4:29 am : link
The punctuation goes inside the quotation marks.

But in British English, the punctuation goes outside the quotation marks, unless it's part of the quote.

"You like eggs", he said.

Or

"You like eggs?" he asked.

So everyone's right, depending on which kind of English they claim to be writing.

Most important comment, actually a question  
bc4life : 3/24/2018 9:30 am : link
was about if Flowers is willing to put in the time to fix the technique issues.

Diehl also atlked about Flowers not finsishing plays.

I always wonder if Flowers is playing on the wrong side of the ball. That maybe his best position would have been DL.
Just gonna say that if the Giants don't pick up...  
M.S. : 3/24/2018 9:53 am : link

...a competent right tackle in the draft (or as a late FA pick-up), our offense could sputter again.
There is a difference in Flowers moving to Right Tackle  
Jimmy Googs : 3/24/2018 10:09 am : link
and the Giants trying him at Right Tackle.

Suspect you will be seeing him mostly on the bench going forward...
