#Giants will activate LG Shane Lemieux from IR by Saturday’s 4 pm deadline and plan is for him to start Sunday’s game against the Lions, per sources.
Lemieux is making his season debut after missing the first nine games following surgery to repair serious toe injury in preseason.
Yeah watching Bobby Skinners o-line reports Ezeudu showed more pass block ability than Lemieux has IMO. Guess they want a run block mauler for another Saquon 30 plus carry game
Illegal procedure?
RF,JE reported with neck injury this week
TTH, your thoughts on Lemieux'ability to step in and hold the fort after such a long layoff?
Ezeudu if healthy needs to take Glowinski's spot. Glowinski has been awful every game and it was a terrible signing that our gm made and not a single person knocks him for it. Which is weird. I know the money was tight but still Glowinski is one of the worst guards in the nfl right now.
I'm afraid that the legend of Shane Lemieux is going to catch up to the reality of Shane Lemieux
I don’t know if there is really a “legend” of Shane lemieux. Think I lot of us things he has a lot of potential and we’re excited to see if he could develop into a really good guard.

What legend? He was the starter before the injury and people are a fan of him. No one thinks he’s an all pro.
Yes, but he never really did anything to establish himself as the starter. He replaced a sick Hernandez and then was penciled in as the starter the next year. But, he barely practiced and essentially missed the whole season. Then he missed the whole season to date this year.
RE: RE: RE: i still think Gates at C, Lemeuix at LG, Bredeson at RG
That Buffalo was looking to draft Lemieux and they heavily scouted him.
I think it says a lot about him as a player for him to leap frog everyone as soon as he is healthy
interior pass rush so Shane should be fine. If JE has a neck injury then playing this week and again on short rest may not be in his (or the team’s) best interest.
It’s also very possible that the staff sees Shane as the best LG.

Bill I am starting to think you are not a fan of Oregon and their players.
lol, I hope they suck tomorrow against Utah :) Seriously, I hardly watch any Oregon football. I did see the 2 Utah games last year and I'll be watching tomorrow. I don't think I ever noticed Lemiuex at Oregon and I don't have a feeling for their players one way or the other. It's just a coincidence that Lemieux and Thibs are both from that program. Lemieux was a starter on a NYG OL that was not very good. He was a good, not great, run blocker and had problems in pass pro. I don't know how much that has changed without being in games much the past 2 seasons as well as losing a lot of practice time due to his injuries. If he can win a job over Ezeudu, Bredeson or Glowingski, great, but I would think the change would be incremental, not a sea change. The one guy who could be a real difference maker could be Gates at center. Did he go to Oregon? :)

I’m going to go ahead and assume the coaching staff knows their shit. If not, revert back to the bench.
there's a contingent of BBI who have expectations set a little high on L. But, there's also a group who overly portray this as preparing a bust for Canton.
Is it so wrong to think it's a positive that a guy who has potential for being solid (or at least better than what's out there now) is returning?
Yeah watching Bobby Skinners o-line reports Ezeudu showed more pass block ability than Lemieux has IMO. Guess they want a run block mauler for another Saquon 30 plus carry game
In Art’s Twitter thread, Bobby S. was asked which LG he prefers going forward, and he said Ezeudu without hedging.
Important to note that Ezeudu wasn’t benched. He missed practice with an injury, and can use more time to heal. It’s good that Lemieux offers a viable alternative. The competition for the LG job has barely begun. OC and RG may eventually be in play too, especially if Glowinski continues to underperform. Skinner’s preference: Ezeudu - ( New Window )
Hope Lemieux learned how to pass block since the last time he played

Go back and watch skinner during camp. He was very high on Lemieux. He even said in this week's podcast that it's because he hasn't seen him recently.
You people let the coaches make the decisions some they are the subject matter experts and you are not.
God forbid people on a message board have opinions...
You're a miserable poster.
No I’m just a fan, just like everyone else. I have limited Information so I don’t express my opinion as fact. I also have a life and could give two fucks how I represent as a poster.

I doubt he is one of the worst guards in the NFL, but it's not as if he's being paid like a plus player. He was brought in on a stop-gap level contract that was structured for him to be the starter this year and replaced next year. McKethan was drafted to compete at RG but was lost to IR. I'm sure it will be addressed next year, whether it's via the return of McKethan or another rookie brought in. Glowinski will either be a backup next year or off the team altogether. The money he is paid is appropriate for the expectations they had of him, which is consistent with the contributions he's made to the team's 7-2 record. It wasn't a bad signing. He's done neither better, nor worse than what was expected when signed.
I didn't think Glowinski has been all that bad. Certainly some
Center and Left Guard has been the most trouble on the interior thus far accounting for both run/pass protection.
Will see how Ezeudu progresses and if McKethan can make it back okay, but wouldn't be surprised if Schoen puts a new Center and another Guard on the roster from the next draft.

I am assuming Ezeudu will be inactive Sunday with his neck injury.

They may also split some time...

And what is this legend? Love your food posts..... football ones......
Think you are right. It might be the starting lineup for our playoff game.
Quote:
with Neal and Thomas bookends is the best OL and a top 10 OL in the NFL imo.
I think Ezeudu is going to be better. It may be a question of who is better between Lemieux and Bredeson for RG
I picture the starting line next year to be Thomas, Lemieux, Gates, Ezeudu and neal
What legend? He was the starter before the injury and people are a fan of him. No one thinks he’s an all pro.

Why do you see Lemieux at RG when he's never played it?

You know what? I never thought of it like that.
@Mods time to shut this place down.

There's another Lemieux thread going on that the OP calls him a "beast".
Just not sure if Beast = All Pro, but directionally that is the take.
Is it so wrong to think it's a positive that a guy who has potential for being solid (or at least better than what's out there now) is returning?
In reality, it's obvious 2 coaching staffs now think he's a pretty good player.

Ezeudu has sore neck and will likely backup Lemieux.

The 3 interior guys may swap positions in some facet, but I agree...and it wouldn't be a bad thing.
My hope is they keep adding draft picks to the IOL every year (at least one guy). Keep the pipeline going...you know those backups are going to play.
