Said here's a guy who just doesn't want to go to trading camp. Got his money and knows he's the starter so he put this off until now because he can. What is the team gonna do? He said if he was an owner no way guys would get away with this type of thing. I couldn't believe how much he ripped him and was talking as if he knew it was an older injury that could've been taken care of and not a new injury. It might very well be an older injury but no way he would know that, or if Solder put it off to avoid training camp.

Yes, the logic of any sane person to get out of training camp, to endure pain until the last possible moment to have surgery done. That makes perfect sense.

He’ll start the season healed up and sans bone spurs. Meantime in OTAs the seconds get valuable time with the starters.
We should be happy.

pretty happy...

from surgery or injury. (I don't think Manny in CA needs to worry about Eli having a career year, although everyone but Manny already knew that.)

An OL heavy draft for us next year. He knows how old these guys are and the supply in college this year wasn't to his liking. It's just like CB, he signed a bunch of older middle of the age bracket vets to one year deals. Then we add Beal, Bethea, Peppers, Love, Baker and Ballentine. He's a cluster drafter it appears.

I wouldn’t say that. Our secondary or lack there of was a unique situation. Riley, Webb, Apple,Ladler, deayon, Lippett all obviously underwhelmed. The secondary needed a makeover and only way to successfully do that in one offseason is to stock pile via the draft/free agency.

To add to this our offensive line is not in shambles. We have both guards signed. Left tackle signed. Basically your talking about right tackle IF halapio works out or pulley.

Lippett offers. but fans are ripping him off of one game played last year.

Have to believe they did, DG has been pretty thorough in his planning. It may not be as big a deal as we are assuming if they anticipated it. MO.

No, it's not in shambles, but it's middle-of-the-pack at best, with little or no quality depth backing up the starters. We know Remmers is only signed for one year, but you also have to wonder just how long we can depend on Solder? Ditto for Zeitler, who will be 30 next year. Sure, some O-Linemen play well into their 30's, but others don't, and I'd hate to see the Giants go through what they did in 2012-2013. And "if" Halapio or Pulley work out? Brother, that's a big "if."

The issue with Solder isn't a bone spur getting plucked out 4 months from the opener.

He's going to be the same reliable, unexceptional, now very expensive tackle he's been his whole career.

The issue is finding someone to groom and be at the ready when a guy in his 9th, 10th, and 11th year in the league and making 17-18M dollars, falls off the cliff.

. True enough and think nobody is more aware of that than DG and Abrams. We have cap space next year and do not have to go into hock for a QB either.

It's notable Gettleman has picked 4 DTs and 1 OT over the last 2 years.

There's a steady pool of talent at all stages on the d-line, it'd be nice if there was the same on the o-line.

My big prediction is Wheeler would be a much better LT that RT if called on.

Pretty much what I expected panties in a bunch twats
Better than a stool pusher and a Trannie ....

Bone spurs are so serious that even if you don't actually have them, they can keep you out of the military.
