Giants Trivia Question for the BBI faithful

LT was Jerry Adulterer and RT was his adopted German brother Kantstop Harassingher.

Miami played 16 games that year??????

I see it's a 2-part question. Duh.

I have no idea who the LT was.

That is kind of weird, YANKEES28: are you suggesting this is what turns on the light for EF, improves his head?

CHP. That's the correct 2nd answer.

Have not seen it mentioned on BBI, but Ereck Flowers and Malcolm Bunche were teammates at Miami.

In 2012, Bunche was a Junior and Flowers a Freshman.

In 2013, Bunche would play his senior season at Miami, as well as graduate.

In 2014, as a graduate student, he transferred to UCLA because he had one year of football eligibility remaining.

So Bunche and Flowers are former Miami teammates and current Giants teammates.

But who's his agent? (:

Y28, you've been on fire this off-season.

I certainly would not go that far, but I would say that Shurmur and Gettleman understand the need for not only Ereck Flowers, but also Eli Apple to contribute.

Last week at the tryout, the Giants invited slot receiver James Clark of Virginia Tech to attend. Clark was not ultimately signed, but as I mentioned here last week, Clark and Apple were college best friends when they both played for Ohio State.

Clearly the Giants need a roster made up of the best players, and Clark didn't impress enough to earn a spot. But perhaps is was a subtle sign to Eli Apple, that the new management team wants Apple to feel welcome.

It's no secret that Flowers didn't spend much time with the other Giants O-linemen outside of football. Bunche is going to have to prove himself, but it can't hurt to have Bunche on the field and in the same meeting rooms with Flowers right now.

It could be subtle, or purely a coincidence, but worth a mention.

almost certainly not mere coincidence as the Clark look would seem to attest.

There is no question that bailing on two of Reese's last three (quite high) 1st Round picks would be a terrible waste of resources and cap, perhaps even confirmation that GM and HC see talent to support overall roster strength at key positions.

I'm certain that many here have a better sense than I as to the lousy chemistry and dynamics that drove EF and Apple so far off the reservation. How did the locker room become so toxic? And as important, are all the influences that contributed to that negative dynamic gone? That may be an open question.

More needs to be done.

I loved that Shurmur shut down Collins....the press are not their friends....they love stirring shit up. They do it with OBJ.....they jumped on the potential contract/ holdout. They pushed the Collins/Apple narrative....and was ready to jump on the Collins/Flower....these guys (Shurmur and DG) know how to defuse and move forward....love it.

You're gonna have to learn your cliches. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to learn them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: "We gotta play 'em one day at a time."

"I'm just happy to be here, hope I can help the ball club."

Etc.

Maybe Gettleman and Shurmur decided that one of the problems Flowers and Apple experienced was due to poor coaching. At least one of them, if not both, are talented and while neither merited getting drafted where they were drafted - especially Flowers- they would not have been UFDAs. For certain I’m glad they are being given a chance to contribute. They are still very young and maybe new coaching plus some maturity will do the trick

I only hope Flowers has the talent at RT. Although there were stories Giants were trying to trade him during the draft.

better of the two in the eyes of the coach at Miami? Maybe it was all about experience but something still seems wrong.

Not really.

In his sophomore season,(2013) Flowers battled Bunche for the starting left tackle job.

Flowers won, and Bunche had a limited role in his final year in Miami. Bunche was actually moved to guard that season.

...in his rookie season?
