Wheeler

How is he doing - The good, the bad, the ugly?
Mainly bad. He needs another year in the weight room

Although his effort is great and he’s actullay not bad at backside run blocking. Cutting off the backside pursuit allowing for cut backs. Something flowers couldn’t do
I don't know.

It's too painful to sit through a whole game lately.
Poor.

But the whole line has been. Let's see where we are at the end of the year.
I feel Wheeler best spot eventually is LT

He has the feet,balance, vision etc.... still needs a year to add bulk without losing his other assets. Him and Willie are their only long-term solutions.

2, maybe 3 ugrades still needed.

Solder is decent but really only servicable and the RG is jag.

Given Solder's contract, the team is stuck with him for the next few seasons

My understanding is that its essentially a two year deal. According to Pat Traina, if the Giants want out of the deal after that, they'll save $9 million in 2020 and $14 million in 2021.
At least Wheeler seems to have an upside, learning and improving

Flowers was really stuck in the mud.

Flowers could turn into a starting guard somewhere.
Another year?

And then next year, another....

They'd also eat 8M in dead money and have to find a replacement. It's a 3 year deal in all likelihood.

Hell, if the RG was a JAG we'd probably have a better line. He's been horrendous and one of the major reasons that this line has sucked so bad. Center is another position of great need as Greco has also not been great there.
I've said it before, I'll say it again...

The Giants should have their linemen switch sides next year. Make it from left to right...
Wheeler--Omameh--NewGuy--Hernandez--Solder.
Or do it at

The bye I agree and mentioned this before also

The transition would be easy for Wheeler and Omameh, but Solder and Wheeler have played exclusively on the left side throughout their college and pro careers (as far as I know, it's possible Solder played some on the right side) and I don't think the bye week is enough time to adjust.
