I actually think he's more like a young Eli. From far away they kind of look similar. Both are reportedly very smart and hard working. Both have all of the physical tools. Both are inconsistent with their accuracy and can have Jekyll and Hyde type performances.
Eli learned to cope and was very successful on some of the better Giants teams. Hopefully, if Webb can continue to progress, he will be capable of having similar success.
RE: The right side of the Oline is very troublesome.....
Both Omameh and Flowers blew blocks. I really think well have to help more on the right side with TEs and RB chips. There doesnt appear to be competition there right now. I suppose that will be addressed next off-season. LBer coverage is also lacking, but to be fair, theres not many LBers that are covering Theo Riddick well. Other teams will definitely be attacking the middle of the field unless we can somehow get that fixed. Other then that, I thought it was a very competitive effort by the Giants. A good game, even for pre-season.
Flowers is a waste product, complete garbage. Watching him, one would think hes never stepped on a practice field. He refuses to learn the correct way to play the position.
the right side of the line and olegtree are the biggest cause of concern. The right side of this line could keep us from being a top offense. Also not impressed at all with Halapio would like Jones to get in there.
ogletree will be fine, you are concerned over 1 play where maybe 1 or 2 linebackers in the entire league would be able to make?
He played tonight with easily his 2 best weapons on the sideline. He showed poise in the pocket. He took hits, he scrambled nicely and he showed very nice arm strength. A few balls came out a little wobbly which he needs to improve on but, this version is a very good start as your backup QB. He was by far from perfect but he was confident, efficient and he was a leader last night.
The OL made a few mistakes it almost caused a turnover they need to get it corrected but overall I thought the OL did their job 1st and 2nd teams. They have our R s holes and have the QBs time to make plays. It was so satisfying watching this team finally play a complete game. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. Really was not much to bitch about last night. Go Blue!

Agreed, if the D calls for Ogletree to be covering Theo Riddick in the slot I put that more on Bettcher.
I thought Hernandez did fine tonight. Not sure if Sy will agree.
And even though it may seem meaningless I liked seeing OBJ and SB sitting next to each other. If the O line is adequate and those two are on the field together, wow.
I didn't watch him but the one play where our running back got blown up in the backfield which I think was 4th and 1 it seemed like Hernandez was at fault. Banks called out the TEs but Hernandes doubled the nose with our center but never saw the LB. IMO, Hernandez should have picked up that LB up the middle. The double on the nose was pointless if a LB has a free run straight at the RB up the gut.
you double the nose a lot when you bring in multiple TE's and have a short yardage situation. He was most likely following his assignment.
we also called timeout becuase we couldnt get the set right then came back out showing the same look giving the defense a chance to jump the play
This was the best top to bottom Giants performance in a long time
Watching Lions Giants and I am confident it does not matter what side tackle Erik Flowers lines up on--the defense will put their best rusher over him. Not good

I agree with that but if he's at RT at least Eli will be able to see that rusher coming.
...Webb and Lauletta. That's refreshing!
Also, Lauletta in particular looks very smooth stepping around the pocket and finding soft spots!
And give it up to Webb in particular for some beautiful throws dropped right into the bucket!
Tanney looked good as well! Heck, all three back-ups looked pretty good!

This team looked well coached and its along time since Ive been able to say that.
This is the beginning of the effects of the new staff and administration.
