I root for the entire team, but I love Gates and his attitude and it looks like Lemiuex just can't be held back. I really am not worried about those 2 retiring. At least not tomorrow.
Side note: I've been watching the camp videos and many, if not all, have knee braces on. IS this a precaution or something necessary for our current group of OL?
Im not dumping on the guy, I love the attitude and am pulling for him. But lets be direct about it: if this offense is going to take a step forward he's got to improve. This season will probably hinge on the organizations calculated gamble of counting on 2nd year lineman to make a leap.
The Giants got a tad lucky over the weekend when they found out Lemieux won't need surgery after suffering a knee injury during the first week of training camp. While he is expected to miss a few weeks, he should step right in as a quality starter upon his return.
For proof, look no further than the impact he made as a rookie. The Giants were reeling at 1-6 heading into November -- although beginning to play better -- and chose to start their fourth-round rookie guard against the eventual Super Bowl champion Bucs. They pulled Lemieux from the left on a variety of plays from traps to powers and sweeps, taking the Bucs to the brink before losing by two. But the Giants looked like a real offense that day. They then went on a four-game win streak; Father Judge's coaching and Lemieux's pulling had me believing they could turn things around.
Why, you ask? It's because whenever the Giants had great teams -- Super Bowl teams -- they had great pulling guards. In the 1980s, they had Billy Ard at left guard. In 2007 and 2011, they had Chris Snee at right guard. Forget what the grading services say, this kid has an inner fiber that burns hot and there's a lot of nasty to his game. The Giants found their guard! Look for Lemieux to really impact the run game in Saquon Barkley's return and protect Daniel Jones in a big year for the quarterback. eight players in the trenches poised for Year 2 breakout in 2021 - ( New Window )
And I'd think that's a joke in bad taste, but a joke nevertheless.
But knowing that your every post is a put down..I can only shake my head in sadness. Your put downs say more about you than your intended targets.

2am hit and run, what a surprise!
It's a little weird about being on your mind so often, especially in the middle of night but at least it keeps you off the streets.

I feel confident in saying no one is thinking about me at 2:00 a.m. Definitely not my wife that's for sure!
Lemieux is a beast.

Intact. It's one fucking word.
Nice to hear someone say it “out loud” though.
