nice discussion if you have the time
Bobby notes some Giant worries
Back up offensive line is horrible. In the NFL depth is important, back -ups play.
Jet sweeps and throws behind the line were not working. Those plays do not work when the defense has penetration into the backfield.
Deonte Banks has good coverage but can't make a play on the ball to stop completion. Flott was not able to cover the receivers.
No surprise that CB and O line are the areas needing improvement

New Window )
Let's let it play out, but there is a dearth of talent in the entire NFL at oline. Let's hope they can get 9 guys that can actually play at near NFL average.
Can the same be said about QBs throwing TDs with no pressure?
When you primarily play zone, you need your corners to support the run. Right off the bat, he's at a disadvantage. He needs to be that much better in coverage if he wants to stick.

This. I’d wager a third of the league doesn’t even have 5 starting level Olineman
Plus there's a bunch of new guys, and I believe Kubas has the leg up on the LG position. I like that.
For the last dozen or so years, the early reports have been bad. And the reassurance is it's early, no one has depth, this guy is out. And every year the Giants have been appreciably worse than most teams.
At some point the observers are smart enough to compare today to what they've seen in the past, and make the connection to the level of suck early and how that translated to later.
The Schoen Giants have put together back-to-back shitty lines in 2022 and 2023. This is the area where I think it's quite justified for the media to skeptical.
Not great, Bob.
Not great, Bob.
My bad, that was David Long.
I see issues with run blocking so pass sets are critical.
One poster mentioned that Bricillo didn't like the spacing with the OL under Johnson. I wonder if that is scheme related to the Giants designed shotgun pass/run option they rely on.
Ojulari for both health and fit reasons has been such a disappointment. He's got a prime opportunity this year to make a good paycheck as a rotational pass rusher.
