The Giants announced that OL Josh Ezeudu, OL Evan Neal, OL Jon Feliciano and OL Shane Lemieux are out for tomorrow. So plug Jack Anderson in at LG. Then Matt Peart as swing tackle with Devery Hamilton and a PS elevation (Solomon Kindley?) as depth.
Shades of December 2003. - (

Neal
Filiciano
Ezeudu
Lemieux
Bellinger
Plus two (or possibly three) from among:
Roche
Moreau (God help us)
Sills
Smith
Pinnock
Thomas (God help us X 10)
The number of inactive roster members depends in part on who they elevate. Kindley is already factored in. If they use a second elevation on a non-OL like Pimpleton or Vannett, they will have to sideline another roster player. My guess is that they will elevate Cunningham, because neither Thomas nor Phillips is fully healthy and the eighth offensive lineman is a free 48th player.
It is crazy.
It is so difficult to get any kind of rooting momentum for players we love or enjoy watching when they are ripped from the game with severe injuries; in some case career threatening.
Insane.

agreed the Cowboys and their fans are overconfident like Custer.
They have every reason to be, there's almost no way they lose this game unless the players show up at 8pm to play.
IDK if it's the players, or Ronnie Barnes, or a combo of both. But something is very, very, very wrong here, and it's been that way for ions now.
Something has to change. And no, changing the field surface is not the answer to all of the teams' injury issues.
If we have a win to get in against Philly, rest assured they'll play their starters.
Is it the same toe?
Now, this is Ronnie Barnes issue.
Ronnie Barnes issue? Please explain.
Sounds like a Lemieux issue to me.
Lemieux, who never missed a game in college, comes here and turns into China Doll.
He misses most of the season with a toe injury, comes back, and can't play more than half a game before his toe is injured again (I'm assuming it is the same toe). Because of that (and/or his terrible performance), Ezeudu comes into the game with a neck injury and then proceeds to make that worse.
Do I have that right?
It's a damn toe. You want him done for the season? LOL
He probably felt great until he got into a real NFL game in over a year. Then hurt it again after being pushed and bullied for a half. It happens.
False starts, holding, illegal man downfield, sacks, no push in running game. Should be great watching 3rd and 15 every drive.
Happy Thanksgiving from the NYG Offensive Line Unit
Yeah it is the medical staff's fault guys got their knees twisted.....
Lemieux never hurt in college, Neal never hurt in college, Jackson hurt on punt return, McKinney hurt riding an ATV during the BYE week.
Fuck.
The Lemieux toe thing came out of nowhere. Either he was playing before truly being ready or he reaggravated teh injury. Regardless that sucks considering JE is out. In some ways I wonder of the Giants are just looking at Washington as their next real game.
Gotta wonder, with this patchwork line does it make sense to maybe dial Barkley back for a week, again with Washington Philly and Washington again coming up?
No it makes no sense whatsoever. He plays as usual and then gets ten days to rest up for Washington.
Might as well place him on injured reserve and free up a roster spot.
How the F is Lemieux hurt again? He played less than a half. And what the F with Ezeudu? If he wasn't healthy last week, he shouldn't have been active. And he looked good last week.
Is it possible some of these guys ate just soft at this point? How is this even possible. This is a statistical anomaly, I think, to have this many games lost year after year.
At least Feliciano is a netgain by getting Gates back. Gates should take every snap at OC the rest of the way.
Neal is back, right?
I have to believe come this offseason, Dabs and Schoen will be doing a very deep dive into training regimens and injury avoidance.

JVM hates Barkley on every thread. Its impossible to run behind a line thats getting dominated. You can't just say a guy who is averaging over 100 yards per game, and then has a bad game when the OL is crap, is all of the sudden crap. It makes no sense, how can he be the #1 RB in the NFL and now be lousy after one game.
Remember that lineup against Buffalo?
Jeff Roehl LT
Wayne Lucier LG
Chris Bober C
David Diehl RG
Ian Allen RT
Plus the ineffectual Marcellus Rivers at TE
Or the slop they trotted out the following week, when Collins finally, inevitably, got hurt against Washington?
Ian Allen LT
Scott Peters LG
Chris Bober C
David Diehl RG
Jeff Hatch RT
Diehl was a rookie making normal rookie mistakes. The others didn’t belong in the NFL.

This is traumatic.
My lasting memory of that year was an OL so completely inept that I think it was Lucier and Bober who had to literally hold hands to stop from false starting.
What a kick in the dick.
