Can this online be fixed this season?

Giantimistic : 9/16/2018 11:21 pm
I ask as someone who really doesn't know the answer to that question. Collingsworth kept saying they were getting beat mentally and not physically. Schumer said this team only goes as far as this online goes and it couldn't be any truer. So online experts can we get this line to average at least and how long will that take?

No.
In a word  
GiantSteps : 9/16/2018 11:23 pm : link
no
Bring in Mike Tice!

But seriously, maybe. I mean we need a lot of our guys to pull their heads out of their asses and we also need them to gel STAT.
Check your router....

should definitely be able to fix it within the next 14 weeks.
Short answer... no  
Couchy : 9/16/2018 11:26 pm : link
Long answer... not a fucking chance. Staring down the barrel of an 0-8 start if the O-line doesn’t improve.
No, not this season. As it appears now the Giants will probably be

picking in the top 5, hopefully they will pick the best olineman available. I was high on Flowers but he has worked his way off of this team.
Who are these OL coaches we have hired the last decade?  
Doomster : 9/16/2018 11:30 pm : link
Can't coach a line to pick up stunts? Can't run a screen play? I have never seen OLmen go backwards more than forward....

We had Flowers and EE on the DE, and he still got by them!

We basically are at square one as far as the OL goes.....you fix an OL BEFORE you get a stud to run behind it......can't remember the last time I saw a house built where they started with the roof....
Nope

But come draft time..this board: "Nooo! BPA (wr, cb, De) we'll be fine if ol plays mediocre, we got play makers!!"
Well... no.

Not if by "fixed" you mean average or above.

Some improvement is likely.

Adequacy is barely possible, but unlikely.

Excellence? Don't see a path to that in 2018.
Fixed this year?

It’s been a disaster since 2011. We are the worst team in the league
They could potentially get functional

but I doubt that happens while the season is live.

A lot of the bad play is slow incorrect processing rather than being physically outmatched.

This has been happening through 3 OL coaches and 3 OC's now.
improved is a better word to use

I would say yes - question - how much? They need to work on run blocking first. That alone, would take some of the pressure off of Eli.
No.

I totally agree. Just run from the I formation. Ellison starts at TE. Rotate Engram with the WRs to give a 2 TE look. Establish the run on the right side. Let's see if Omameh and Flowers can run block and put Ellison on that side. I think Barkley can make something happen if you give him a good dose.
