Is it time to put Slade in for Solder? Left tackle continues to be a weak position, and so far after 7 games it looks like Solder isn’t the player he once was. At this point there’s no risk in finding out what Slade can do - he showed promise in August, let’s see him in a real game.
If they do, we might find out real fast that the answer always was:

Usually there's a reason that backups are backups.

Nick Gates is ahead of him on the depth chart.

We have a young QB playing on a team that is filled with holes. This is not the time to put in a journeyman at LT because even though Solder is struggling he is still a better option than the backups.

The Giants need to invest heavily in OT this offseason. IMO it's our biggest need at the moment. Protecting our franchise QB has to be the main priority going into the offseason.

We need to protect DJ and help Saquon.

bench Remmers for Gates, and use Slade or Smith as a sixth OL. I might also bench Zeitler for Slade. Something has to be done. The current arrangement is getting Jones killed. The run blocking is also bad. But I'd be stunned if we do anything.

Curious about Gate at RT.. he has shown some potential and if he turned out to be a starting caliber RT that’s one less spot we have to address after the season

I think his shoulder never fully healed from earlier in the year.
