I heard that stat mentioned on a CBS sports show. They said only two teams allowed more (but they didn't say which teams they were).
I know we need a lot of upgrades on defense, but, seriously, is there anything more important than protecting Daniel Jones? I don't think so. I hope Joe Judge feels the same way.
This is what bugs me with some of the criticism of Jones "fumbling issues"... a bunch of them he got absolutely rocked.
Well, to be fair, he had to replace all five that he inherited in under two seasons. That's a tall task for any GM.
No shit.
He needs to know when its not gonna work and chuck it out of bounds, all the good QBs do that. I'm sure it will come with maturity.

Looking at you Saquon
Imagine Barkley running behind that line.

And he failed at replacing all five, an even taller task.

Is there a lot of history of a team completely rebuilding an OL successfully in 2 years?
Such ingrates we are, expecting Mr. Magoo to put together a functional OL in three years!
There should be improvements in both those areas this season.

Agree. Its likely this number would have been much lower if the QB was getting rid of it (or throwing it away) quicker. That is an experience thing. I feel like a lot of his fumbles we are result of holding the ball longer trying to make things happen. So IMO its really a combination, I don't put this all on the OL.
The trolling is juvenile.
When your OL is getting physicaly beat you call draws, screens, quick passes, etc. and you pass on run downs and run on passing downs.
Perhaps Schurmur's biggest failure was his inability to modify his game plan based upon his personel.
Shurmur was intent on running bewteen the tackles on first and second downs. This put the Giants in an untenable possition of having to make long yardarge on third downs.
He should be passing on first downs and he should have used screens and short passing.
Barkley should have received the ball the way McCaffery was utilized in Carolina.
Shurmur started doing this in the last 4-5 games but it wqas too little to late.

Archer, pretty much my thoughts, exactly.

But a bunch of others he was barely touched

True. But let's not forget that this is still a guy who showed his expertise with such gems as "don't sleep on Pio" and "Remmers had a pretty good year at RT."
Replacing all five is a tall order. That doesn't excuse staking his two most important young offensive players to a POS line in front of them because his ability to identify good offensive lineman isn't quite on par with the pleasure he takes in delivering soundbites about them.

Bullshit.
Do you think the Bill Gates of NFL GMs even knows this stat?

The Bills replaced four of their five starting OL this year and made the playoffs.
How? Second round draft pick (Cody Ford) and three FAs. Morse the center was a major investment, 4/44. Feliciano was 2/7; Quinton Spain 1/2.
The Bills actually replaced 9 of their 11 offensive starters, counting Singletary as having replaced Gore by the end of the season.
Josh Allen QB and the one OL holdover Dion Dawkins, second round '17 pick, were the only constants.

Yep the Vikings did it two years ago, they replaced ALL 5 and made the playoffs. No excuses for Gettleman.
I don't want to hear about injuries and miscommunication. They SUCK.
There is not 1 guy on that line that I can say man he is really good. If they could just build around him. Solder, Hernandez, Halapio, were really substandard and Zeitler, Remmers didn't standout.
The OL needs work but do does the scheme and playcalling. And the qb needs seasoning as well.
