So Snee at his best. Most explosive was Shawn Andrews. His body didn't hold up, but he physically dominated grown men.
Andrews was a tease. I was shocked when they announced that they were going to play him at LT but he didn't allow a sack despite being very rusty from all the time he missed. It sucks that his back didn't hold up. That would have been a great deal.
I'd go with Seubert as "favorite," but Jumbo, Diehl, others get a lot of admiration. 30 years goes back to 1988. So the '86 SB team isn't included but the '90 SB team is. Someone please go left to right on the '90 line?
Best seats I ever had for a Giants game was the 2003 game vs. the Eagles where his leg got destroyed...was sitting several rows behind the Giants bench just off to one side, and saw the play happen right in front of us
The fact he came back from that to become one of the most dependable guys on our SB 42 championship team is nothing short of remarkable.

I'm thinking the exact same. Seubert for all went through, and came back from. Even if 86 could be included, I don't think there were any better than the others you mentioned. I do remember Brad Benson being one of the first OL to really get credit, mostly by John Madden, blood running down his face from the cut that wouldn't heal all year, and owning Dexter Manley.

For sure, but Seubert, Snee, Ohara, Diehl, and McKenzie were pretty awesome.
How about some William Roberts? I saw Bart Oates mentioned, how about Billy Ard?
But Seubert is also a favorite and Jumbo Elliott is from my alma mater (Sachem, not Michigan), so much love for him.
p.s.--Since we're naming all of the good ones, let's not forget Roman Oben. He was a helluva 3rd round pick for Big Blue!
I remember John Madden commenting on how he thought Seubert was going to be a really good player - during his rookie year before anyone knew who he was.
became the QB of the offensive line, I remembering watching a quick interview one day with Mike Golic who stated that Ohara would tell Eli in the huddle what line calls and adjustments to make to certain pass rushers.
Guy really came into his own after being a journeyman for so many years.
Kinda hoping this is the way the giants go in re-building the oline this year.
But Richie Seubert is one of my favorite Giants of all time. His 2008 season was amazing. Especially his performance in that Carolina game. He was playing out of his mind.
Seubert and Diehl for there versatility. Jumbo for the Sachem Â
Honestly though, I’d say David Diehl.
Andrews was a tease. I was shocked when they announced that they were going to play him at LT but he didn't allow a sack despite being very rusty from all the time he missed. It sucks that his back didn't hold up. That would have been a great deal.
Third.

"Kareem! Is it on you?!?!?!?"
"All day! "

That’s just wrong.
McKenzie gets my vote.
Jumbo-Seubert-Oates-Snee-McKenzie.
Shawn Andrews wasn't here long but when that guy actually was healthy, he was awesome.
Mackenzie was another guy I loved when he was here.
One of Accorsi's best free agent signings and one of the best players at his position for a decade.
In all seriousness I was fond of Luke Lomas Stone Parker and Ziegler because that was the first time we had a line in some years
In all seriousness top 5:
5) William Roberts
4) Ron Stone
3) Dave Diehl
2) Brian Williams
1) Seubert

Elliott-Roberts-Oates-Moore/Kratch-Riesenberg
How often does a team sign a new LT and LG in free agency and go to the Super Bowl that season? Hope for our chances this offseason?

Was the best player on the line, even with a dislocated shoulder and broken hand.
The Giants didn't like his "cornrow" haircut so they sent him off to the 49ers, where he was a Pro Bowler, the next year.
Jumbo all day!
