Kempski Phillyvoice: 10 reasons the Giants will be a dumpster fire this season

“1) The Giants have become one of the worst franchises in the NFL in recent years, and their badness is becoming a norm

2) Daniel Jones hates possessing the football

3) Their highest-paid player is done

4) The rest of the offensive line remains a problem

5) They (still) don't have anything resembling a pass rush

6) Meanwhile, the back 7 is slow

7) We should probably mention Deandre Baker too, right?

8) Oh, and their kicker got arrested, too

9) Joe Judge...

10) Dave Gettleman...”

Schneier/Falato Big Blue Banter Podcast: Dan and Nick dive into the deep depths of the revamped Giants offensive line. Is this FINALLY the year? We've been sold a bag of goods about the Giants' offensive line rebuild for years now -- a line that hasn't really built back up since it's 2011 collapse -- but the boys in Blue (Banter) are here to tell you that good times are finally ahead. Whether that be right away, later in 2020, or ultimately in 2021 is still up for debate -- and that's exactly what Dan and Nick do. In addition to breaking down the offensive line as a whole, Dan and Nick dive into camp positional battles, individual breakdowns of each lineman, and a whole lot more on this jam-packed episode (Audio)

Good stuff here to see some struggles with footwork, chest positioning and supporting roles. Good news is that there is really good tape on Will H. as well so you know he can be better.

Bad news will be if Solder and Pulley/Pio are next to him again.
