Because it's our current luck, watch him become an ALl Pro.
That's hilarious

Someone is still ass-hurt they got fired a few years ago..
Can Matt Dodge be far behind?

who now according to some makes all the decisions in Jacksonville?

This is going to be a fun thread lol.
Well we know where Eli can play next year if released.

Right? So much for Flowers being forced upon TC.

brilliant move

they got the Cowboys coming up and Flowers did such a wonderful job against Lawrence last time!

Sure would be a lot more valuable if Dorgan posted more, although why would he subject himself to all that goes on around here, especially considering the deaf ears.

Jags are on their 3rd LT with injuries...flowers pickup has nothing to do with if he was forced onto TC
Hahahahahahahahaha  
TD : 10/12/2018 2:24 pm : link
Poor St. Tom.. Reese somehow forced Flowers on him again.

I hope this shuts down some of the incessant Tom good/Reese bad talk
Buckle up, the spin cycle is just starting.

Guess so. After all, Gary M told us that Flats was fired "mostly because he could not get through to Flowers, which was a disgrace and sent an awful message."

That conversation in Jacksonville must have been hilarious "Hey Pat, I've got good news and bad news....".
Maybe TC sees him as a Guard.  
Section331 : 10/12/2018 2:46 pm : link
Yeah, he was foisted on TC because TC knew he was a wasted top 10 pick. That doesn't mean that he can't be a productive OL at some point.
Wish we played them  
barens : 10/12/2018 3:07 pm : link
later in the season.
DJ Fluker was 11th pick in 2013  
bluepepper : 10/12/2018 3:15 pm : link
flopped as OT in San Diego. Did okay for us at G last year. Now apparently doing well in Seattle. He'd be a good guy for Flowers to look at and see how you can salvage a career after being labeled a bust. Has to be encouraging for him that two former coaches Coughlin and Flaherty don't think he a hopeless cause.

Reese still sucked. Necessary move with Jags having lost two LT already this season. What other experienced LT were out there?

The need a tackle badly. They've already lost two LT's to IR.
If we're being honest,  
RollBlue : 10/12/2018 3:45 pm : link
TC had lots of input on draft picks. He was also a great coach who's time had come to move on from coaching - happens to everyone.

Also time to move on from Reese - but they both had great success in their time with the Giants.

What is also becoming apparent, is they still have not gotten the replacements right. Jury still out on new coach and GM, but early returns not looking promising.
It's a really interesting season so far.

And what, the Giants are just stacked with talent along their offensive line and can afford to just casually dismiss players from the team?

I think this is just exactly what it looks like on it's face, which is that whatever issues the Giants had with Flowers was not seen as disqualifying from the standpoint of Tom Coughlin and Flaherty, who have had more experience with him than anyone else.
Pretty funny - I thought

Flowers could have done a better job than Nate Solder last night.

I'm not sure what you are arguing about. They are desperate and took a flyer on a rejected player because they have lost two tackles. That's as far as I went with my statement. Any other meaning taken from what I wrote you assumed.
Flowers solves everyones problems  
Giantimistic : 10/12/2018 5:48 pm : link
Flowers misses a block, gives up a sack, Bortles has season ending injury, Jags trade for Eli, they win a superbowl, Eli goes to the Hall of Fame, Giants get their future QB in the draft after tanking, draft extra oline with picks from Jag trade, everyone is happy. The End.
Oddly quiet from the "TC is an innocent victim" junta

Flowers has experience you don't need.

No, this makes it obvious Coughlin and Flaherty were in on the Flowers pick, and Flaherty and Flowers' relationship was clearly not as bad as rumored. They clearly think they can salvage something.

So signing a tackle off the scrap heap because you've lost #1 AND #2 = drafting a guy ninth overall. I suppose Coughlin should have had the Jags line up with 10 men out of principal?

Fans living to troll their own fanbase really is the mark of a shit season.

Sure thing pal. It's not a forest. It's just trees.
Salary cap question  
scouser : 10/12/2018 9:26 pm : link
With the Jags taking over Flowers salary, will that help the Giants salary cap situation?
Maybe they have a sunflower seed  
St. Jimmy : 10/12/2018 9:33 pm : link
problem at TIAA Bank Field and TC identified Flowers could help after watching the all 22 of the Giants-Saints game.
