When is it time?

joekono : 9/15/2018 12:18 am
I can't take him anymore. When is it time to bench Flowers. I know he's on another side but his footwork was even worse than at LT. I also can't believe they still cannot run straight up his ass for 3 yards. He has no push(were the plates on his 37 rep bench press foam?). They get that 2 pt. conversion, Rosas has a shot to tie the game with a long field goal(and I hate playing woulda,shoulda,coulda).
Probably not gonna get benched due to lack of options.

However, on the brightside. Start the countdown. 15 games left in this guy's Giants career.
I would guess 2019...

But who knows?
Great thread title

Maybe you should get benched while you work on that.

It was enticing enough for you to click on it and read about what he wrote LOL
When they find someone better, that's when it's time

The hard part is finding someone who is better who is also unemployed at this point.

Flowers actually was no worse than the rest of the O line Sunday, at least according to Phil Simms.

He certainly wasn t part of a solution to better line play l, but he also was the only one responsible for poor play
No worse?  
Doomster : 9/15/2018 7:22 am : link
Well, then Phil should be put on concussion protocol...

You’re making too much sense for yet another complain about Flowers thread.

We get it. He sucks. There should be a rule that you cannot demand Flowers be benched unless you have a suggestion about who replaces him.

I suggest that we replace him with the actor that played Michael Oher in Blindside. At least he could act like an offensive tackle.
This guys gonna stick like quinn to ST'S

Thought he looked plenty quick and agile  
Jimmy Googs : 9/15/2018 9:07 am : link
when he stuck his leg out on the first play...

He's given new meaning to the term "offensive tackle."

Haha now that’s being creative!
I’m just spitballin here  
mattlawson : 9/15/2018 10:31 am : link
Maybe the coaches think his potential outweighs the ceiling of other guys out there. Same kind of thinking Reese fell guilty too but In the meantime maybe he’s as good as anyone else they would put in there.

Maybe not

But one thing I know for sure is we are all dying to see improvement coachs included

It really looks like 74 is a tethered helium balloon.....he just gets slapped out of the way on every passing down, is there no one else that can at least step in front of charging defenders?
Not to make  
NYBEN1963 : 9/15/2018 10:53 am : link
excuses for him or anyone else ...but he is playing a new position. If he struggled as much as he did on the left side for the years that he was there, why would anyone think he would be a instant success playing somewhere he has never played or hasn't played since his freshman year in college. Give the guy a break let's see what happens over the next 3 games, honestly these are probably the most important games of this guys career. As someone said he probably will not be a Giant next but if he flops completely he will be done as a NFL player. I hope he succeeds and goes on to be a serviceable RT. Personally I never thought he was a tackle left or right I always thought his best position would have been LG.

Truly amazing that he is unable to even get in the way of pass-rushers, I find it hard to believe that Wheeler could be any worse.
He has played so bad,  
Doomster : 9/15/2018 12:39 pm : link
I guess OV "owned" him in practice, you would think they would have also tried him at RG, and put someone else at RT....

The only thing that kept him on this team is his dead money....
