If Ereck Flowers does not start

Which one of players currently on the roster would be the starting Right Tackle?
As of today  
Jay on the Island : 4/19/2018 9:32 pm : link
I think Wheeler is the leader for the RT job.
Wheeler or a 1st or 2nd pick.

Especially if he has gain 15Lbs of muscle  
George from PA : 4/19/2018 9:34 pm : link
if Wheeler built up his core like that....he will be an asset at RT.

and RG & maybe Center are their issue
Our starting right tackle will be....

a freakin' miracle.....
If Flowers doesn't win the starting job....do they cut him?  
Tom in NY : 4/19/2018 10:00 pm : link
They haven't picked up his 5th year option yet, so he very likely could be a FA after this season. Do they have him on the roster as a back-up on scholarship?

I would bet that unless he shows significant progress by th end of training camp that he'll be shown the door...it's a new day in E. Rutherford.

Flowers is going nowhere

His contract this season is 100% guaranteed. He gets paid no matter whether he plays or they cut him. 0 cap savings if he is cut. Real easy to miss the voluntary workouts.
start?! he might not even show

I honestly don’t even think this matters. It may have mattered with Reese, but I think Gettleman is serious about cutting dead weight no matter the cost.

Now that he's older, lets move Solder to RT so there's less pressure and keep EF at LT.
(the devil made me do it);-)

But I will guess we get a 2nd tier LT with the second 3rd rd pick, let him fight for RT; if he wins the job may stay his until CW further develops and battles next season for the job. If he doesnt win the job, then its CW and the pick is bench in waiting.
Why would anyone trade for anything of value for this guy  
sb from NYT Forum : 4/20/2018 1:44 am : link
There's now three years of game tape of him being at best below average.

If he doesn't win a starting spot he'll stay on the roster for emergency depth, and then at the end of the season he'll walk.

Well I would've thought there was lots of game tape showing Richburg getting blown back into Eli's feet so often but look what he got. I'm not saying EF would get that kind of $$ but someone might take a flier on him, and offer up something if they had an injury and need.
Stupid Move  
Rong5611 : 4/20/2018 8:18 am : link
Not showing up on the workouts. He would have showed that he was committed to the team and not a malcontent.

I have to think the Giants will draft 2 OL next week. Wheeler is developing. I'm thinking Ereck will have to work to make the team at RT or RG (I still think he's a guard). He will need to show he's clearly better than his competition, or he's done. No more poison in the locker room...

Not nearly as scary to his opponents as originally advertised but maybe not nearly as incompetent as we now claim either.

Attitude towards the opportunity learn from the new staff would be important.

And work on balance issues so he can have the confidence to flow better towards defenders.
And this is from the guy who was

Pilloried here for saying for three years 'start Pugh at left tackle.'
It's mind boggling

How many of you same brutalists now jumping all over flowers were like:

"Stfu idiot, da big boss man says flowers is da left tackle. So flowers is da left tackle. Move on fella"
Flowers should be handled like a 4th or 5th round drafted rookie.  
Ivan15 : 4/20/2018 8:44 am : link
See what he has. See if he can develop somewhere. After 1 year, if he doesn’t progress move on.
Seems like a different  
Coach Red Beaulieu : 4/20/2018 8:54 am : link
Accorsi built the high character leadership championship Snee-Diehl-McKenzie-Line with a 2nd round pick, bubblegum and rusty nails. We wasted a 9th overall pick on Flowers and another reach 1st round pick on Justin Puke.
IMO it would be Wheeler and his 20+ more pounds, unless

he's beat out by a T we take high in the draft.
