Happy to announce that Mike Remmers just agreed in principle to a deal with the New York Giants and is looking forward to moving back to his natural position of right tackle. His last 2 seasons playing that position he helped his teams to a Super Bowl and a NFC Championship game.
The work DG has done with the oline in 2 offseasons is overlooked by many pundits
We need a Glenn Parker or Lomas Brown type season from remmers. Don’t think that’s asking too much.
His agent tweeted it. I think that's pretty good confirmation.
@AdamSchefter
In a move many expected, the Giants signed former Panthers’ and Vikings OT Mike Remmers’, per his agent,
@TesslerSports
. Remmers expected to play RT for the Giants.

This is one play, but I honestly have no idea what he was doing here.
Here - ( New Window )
Well...he is an upgrade, I guess. How huge remains to be seen.
Against Von Miller in his prime. Now I don't think he's some savior, but to hold that against him isn't fair.

well for one thing, he's playing a different position.

He played G last season and wasn't as good.
Von miller will do that to people ... he held his own against JJ Watt and has been playing out of position at G
He’s a quality RT, and an upgrade that Shurmur’s familiar with. Perfect stop gap ... i assume next draft is Offense-heavy (WR/OT early)
In the case of the Giants, average is good.

I dunno. Nice depth move but I kind of hope that Wheeler progresses enough to beat him out. He's not very good...

Yeah, I know. I'm not trying to be a hater, it's May and this is a great signing for what is available. If he plays great, so be it.
It's still a comical play though.
Zeitler is the difference maker ... Remmers is a stop gap / upgrade from Wheeler
It’s a huge step up from the Flowers/Hart/Wheeler type options DG inherited . This OL will be above average
Week 16
Flowers-Jerry-B.Jones-Halapio-Hart
Week 17
Wheeler-Jerry-B.Jones-Halapio-Bisnowaty

It honestly looks like he was blocking on a screen play that wasn’t actually the play call ... nice push though!
You want to see ineptitude? I present E. Flowers
3 missed blocks ... in 5 seconds - ( New Window )
Week 16
Flowers-Jerry-B.Jones-Halapio-Hart
Week 17
Wheeler-Jerry-B.Jones-Halapio-Bisnowaty
Solder, Hernandez, Hapapio, Zeitler, Remmers
That is 3 significant upgrades + Remmers is an improvement at RT ... thank you for the reminder, people forget how atrocious the OL was pre-DG
It started with the drafting of Hernandez,and continued with the trade for Zeitler.
Now consider a few facts on Mike Remmers:
1. Last year, he was on the Vikings injury report almost every week. Yet every Sunday he not only dressed, but also started and took most snaps. Fans talk about him playing a new position at guard last year, but fail to mention he showed the toughness to show up and play thru injuries each week.
2. Remmers started from nothing. No scholarship offers. He just walked on at Oregon State. Hard work and toughness got him to onto the starting unit. Didn't even get a full scholarship until his 2nd year. By his Senior year he was their top O lineman.
3. Remmers wasn't drafted. Signed as an UDFA with the Broncos. Cut many times during his NFL career, but eventually worked his way to a starting role and a $30 million contract. The Giants will be his 7th team.
Say what you will about the Remmers signing, but more of his toughness is just what this Giants O Line needs.
Just do the math:
2019 Zeitler + Remmers > 2018 Omameh + Flowers
When his NFL career is over, he should look for a job as a Matador.

It is truly mind blowing how someone could be that large and supposedly strong/powerful and just be such a terrible OL
Basically every weakness in his scouting report came to fruition ... no more Flowers/Apple/Wilson type 1st rounders anymore thankfully
Pulley (albeit not the best out there) is your vet. I think next year they look at youth at tackle and center very hard in the draft.
They like Halapio, Pulley is decent, and they have a top UDFA getting some buzz ... doubt they add another C
(Wisconsin Biadasz next year is near the top of my 2020 draft list)
Funny to think of what this line was back in 2017 to now. Please get through camp unscathed!

Wheeler is not any good either

Evan Brown (UDFA last year) evidently showed enough last season to keep around for a year.
