Rich Seubert.
I would give up the Giants 2nd round pick right now  
Jay on the Island : 1/25/2018 9:50 pm : link
to have a healthy Seubert in his prime. He is exactly the type of player that the offensive line desperately needs.
Toss Up

It’s hard to decide between James Brewer and Bobby Hart.

Honestly though, I’d say David Diehl.
I don't have 30 years to fall back on.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/25/2018 9:51 pm : link
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.
Richie is the first one that comes to mind.  
Diver_Down : 1/25/2018 10:00 pm : link
Used to wager who would be involved with the first fight in camp, and it was always Richie.

"favorite" isn't necessarily the same as "best."

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?

Another vote for Seubert  
mfsd : 1/25/2018 10:18 pm : link
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.

Doubledeuce22 : 1/25/2018 10:22 pm : link
Between Bart Oates and Chris Snee.

That’s just wrong.

McKenzie gets my vote.
since it's an OL, maybe we should pick top five -  
Del Shofner : 1/25/2018 10:30 pm : link
although I know that's not the OP's question.

Jumbo-Seubert-Oates-Snee-McKenzie.

with Diehl  
Del Shofner : 1/25/2018 10:31 pm : link
as the 6th man.
#76 Chris Snee!  
Emlen'sGremlins : 1/25/2018 10:32 pm : link
Is it even really a question!?
Snee

Snee was an elite guard during his prime. Probably him.

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.
Jumbo  
Optimus-NY : 1/25/2018 10:42 pm : link
Easily. Followed by Bart Oates.

arcarsenal : 1/25/2018 10:42 pm : link
McKenzie*
Easy - Ron Stone  
kinard : 1/25/2018 10:44 pm : link
Pro Bowl guard in 2000 and 2001.

One of Accorsi's best free agent signings and one of the best players at his position for a decade.
Chris Bober  
TommytheElephant : 1/25/2018 10:49 pm : link
Or Ray Zetechka


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
Jumbo Elliot  
DonQuixote : 1/25/2018 10:53 pm : link
but if you're in the younger crowd, Snee is a good choice.

Elliott-Roberts-Oates-Moore/Kratch-Riesenberg
How about a little love for old man Lomas Brown  
mfsd : 1/25/2018 11:20 pm : link
and noted oenophile Glenn Parker?

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?
Snee and Diehl were more my generation  
j_rud : 1/25/2018 11:35 pm : link
but I gotta go Bart Oates by virtue of his appearance on Aqua Teen

Glover : 1/26/2018 12:26 am : link
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?
Jumbo  
viggie : 1/26/2018 12:30 am : link
Elliott
David Diehl  
Milton : 1/26/2018 2:55 am : link
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!
Ron Stone ...  
Manny in CA : 1/26/2018 3:14 am : link

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.

Brad Benson

Joey in VA : 1/26/2018 6:44 am : link
Is easily my favorite, huge wide bodied mauler who played with an edge, that is my type of my OL.
Snee  
bc4life : 1/26/2018 7:14 am : link
and I wonder what Brian Williams career would have been like without the eye injury?
RE: Seubert  
bc4life : 1/26/2018 7:15 am : link
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.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/26/2018 7:29 am : link
Snee. Bonus points for being with TC's daughter. Now that takes balls.

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.
Got two, Bart Oates and  
Simms11 : 1/26/2018 7:54 am : link
Chris Snee.
Jumbo Elliott was my favorite as a kid.  
Brown Recluse : 1/26/2018 7:55 am : link
Chris Snee was the most talented.

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  
Victor in CT : 1/26/2018 8:01 am : link
connection and his mauling of Bruce Smith. Snee probably the single best from a puerly technical standpoint.
and though it's more than 30 yrs ago, from the '70s  
Victor in CT : 1/26/2018 8:02 am : link
Doug Van Horn
Jumbo Elliot.  
johnnyb : 1/26/2018 8:17 am : link
Favorite and best IMO
the son in law

Snee was a dominant RG
