to play musical chairs with the OL positions. I'd argue that's what got them into this mess, changing 2 positions instead of 1 when Price took over for Gates.
Glowinski's been at RG for the entire (off)season and the Giants have the #1 RB in the NFL. They are only a quarter of the way in, and they're 3-1. Don't start playing Madden now.
If Gates is ready to go, he gets the starting C job. Glow stays at RG. Feliciano is then in the mix in the "revolving door" spot at LG.
Glowinski is still our best guard. Moving Feliciano to guard is not an upgrade. Feliciano was not good at guard for Buffalo last year. The ideal guard duo is Lemieux and Glowinski.
The coaches know he is being asked to perform a difficult job due to Evan Neal taking wider splits due to his inexperience.
(Wider splits = longer distance between ER and QB).
It minimizes Neal's pass pro struggles at RT, but it widens the gaps off both Glow's shoulders and gives his man more real estate to work.
If you look on the left side splits - they are much tighter due to Thomas' excellence in pass pro.
is that cleared to practice and cleared to train are 2 different things. Figure he must've been working out at least the past 2 months with pretty significant lifting to get cleared for football contact. Still will be amazing to get anything out of him this year...think with most major injuries (SB most recently) you don't really see the full return to form until season 2
Man that would be the best line we’ve had since the Super Bowl team, it even has a higher upside.
Oh before anyone says anything about me picking Ezeudu, just know that is a ton better athlete than the average at best Glowinski. Ezeudu should be a ton better in year 2 with more repetition and working on his technique.
If Lemieux and gates can get back close to what they were that’s one nasty run blocking line at the very minimum. I remember Lemieux struggling in pass pro though.

He struggled in pass protection as a rookie. He was playing at a different level before he got hurt in Week 1 of his 2nd season. He should be a ton better when he get back in Year 3.

Think Glow still in the mix , he is adequate. Could also see our 5th rd pick on IR competing for a spot plus would not be surprised to see another pick from 23 on IOL. Of course we have like 7 other needs too Depth definitely looks better
I’m happy for any player who has worked his way back from a horrific injury. Whether he plays this season or next, IDC. I hope he remains injury free and can play until such time as he leaves on his own terms…not because of an injury.
veteran presence next to Neal while the latter gets his footing. Frankly, Feliciano is a backup level player. He’s not a good guard and he looks to be serviceable, at best, as a center.
Gates returning to practice means it’s “possible” he can return to the player he was, far superior to Feliciano. He’s now physically capable of practice. At what level? That’s the big question.
Before his injury, he had the athletic ability and technique to play all 5 positions.
Does he still have that ability?
Over the next 3 weeks, they will know. If he gets activated to the roster, that will mean his taking over for Feliciano is very possible.
Love to see him back.
He’s played well at tackle and especially at center. Those idiots from last year moved him to guard and that was an unbelievable stroke of bad luck. His versatility will be big plus if he’s all the way back health wise.
Allowing a player on the PUP list to practice gives the team three weeks to decide whether to place him on the active roster or on the injured reserve list.

Bobby Skinner on today’s Talkin Giants podcast said that Glowinski has been his biggest disappointment of the season so far (besides Golladay of course). Glowinski is easily replaceable at this point in time.

Lemieux comes back as RG and Feliciano moves to LG, thats a substantial improvement to the line
I had that wrong, Feliciano to RG and Lemieux to LG
is what i meant
Still don't see how Feliciano would overtake Glowinski at RG, or how that would be an upgrade.
yeah yeah i had that wrong.
Feliciano looked a lot better this past week. Might be level of competition or maybe he's getting his footing

OC and LG are the issues, along with some growing pains from Neal.

I think it was his injured leg is getting better.

Even though gates injury was severe, wasn’t seubert even worse. Being a spiral fracture?

I said next season. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he takes his job in the middle of the season.
