Friday NYG Media Schedule / Practice Updates

Looking to Spark Struggling Offense."

Kinda hard to do when your pass blocking is meager and your WR unit is meager and minimal.

So long as the Giants are effective in their run game, the offense will find enough opportunities to win. And when defenses stymie Saquon Barkley (like Seattle), not so many opportunities.

Looking to Spark Struggling Offense."

(Funny, but once in a while I'll check a preview of my post and the subject line will drop a bunch of words.)

to get Lemieux back at LG.

Call me crazy, but we've only had Hodgins and Cager very briefly, and they already seem to be making an impact. And Kafka seems to be making better use of Slayton; so maybe he's finally going to be somewhat dependable.

I'm not expecting miracles, but maybe enough competence (get open and catch the ball. Is that too much to assk for?) to make a difference in having a more balanced offense going forward.

I know last week and prolly this week, it's going to be very run heavy, but at some pt we've got to throw the ball a little more. It would be nice to pass a little more on downs other than 3rd (even if run/pass ratio stays about the same). I think that would help the pass blocking.

Daniel Bellinger won’t play Sunday and Brian Daboll not optimistic for Evan Neal

good news on Robinson

I'd hold Neal out until after Thanksgiving at this point. Come back fully ready.

Daboll said Daniel Bellinger will not play this week, “not optimistic” about Evan Neal. Lemieux has had a good week. If they need him, he’ll be ready to go.

WR Wan’Dale Robinson (hamstring) “trending in the right direction,” per Brian Daboll.

Same for LG Josh Ezeudu (neck).

TE Daniel Bellinger (eye) is out vs. Lions. RT Evan Neal (knee) not optimistic. #giants

Daniel Bellinger is definitely out for Giants Sunday vs the Lions. Evan Neal unlikely. Everyone else is possible, including Wan’Dale Robinson, per Brian Daboll. Says LG Josh Ezeudu should be ok, but Shane Lemieux might factor, too

#Giants Henderson - CBs tackling well because overall unit's mentality is to prioritize tackling....DBs are coached specifically to stop the upcoming offense's big runs

Joe Judge's staff basically called Peart a pu$$y. It would be nice to see him make them eat their words.

Maybe he wasn’t part of the staff availability. Coach ‘Dre has a big challenge managing the steep drop from Lawrence and Williams to all the other big bodies - especially if the workload is starting to take a toll on the two stars.

I would be hesitant to start him over Ezeudu. I think Ezeudu is a better version of what Lemieux was as a rookie and might have a higher ceiling. However, I'd be open to him at RG over Glowinski.

I know some here liked that interview and thought it was refreshing candor. I never liked it and didn't fully believe it. I would love for Peart to prove them wrong.

Out

Pos. Player Injury

TE Daniel Bellinger Eye



Doubtful

Pos. Player Injury

OL Evan Neal Knee



Questionable

Pos. Player Injury

DB Dane Belton Clavicle

OL Josh Ezeudu Neck

WR Kenny Golladay Hamstring

DL Dexter Lawrence Back

WR Wan’Dale Robinson Hamstring

If he’s impaired, the options, in rough order of likelihood, include:
1) Activate Lemieux and start him at LG.
2) Start Ezeudu and see how long he can go.
3) Start Anderson at LG.
4) Start Gates at LG.
5) Move Feliciano to LG and start Gates at C.

At this point, based on practice reps completed and remaining, the options have probably narrowed to Ezeudu and Lemieux.
