Matt Nelson?

Hilary : 6/3/2024 6:03 am
Have not seen him listed as participating in OTA?
I believe he was out last year with ankle injury.
Any updates on his health and readiness for camp?
O line depth very important for improvement of team and QB play
I’ve assumed he’s sideded due to injury

There’s been a lot of griping about Ezeudu getting some reps at OT, but really we’re talking 4th string reps for him here where he would otherwise be sitting and watching while some scrub who won’t make the team is sitting in with first offense. Kind of ridiculous notion.

As opposed to getting reps at his actual position.
I don’t understand

Isn’t it obvious that Ezeudu is a tackle now. What in the past year have the giants done to make you think Ezeudu is a guard? I mean, just look at him…does he look like a guard or a tackle to you?

He's been spotted on the sidelines with the other rehabbing players. It's unknown publicly if it is the injury from last season or he tweaked something. Daboll didn't seem to think any of the injured players would have issues for training camp (but you've got to wonder what the heck is going on with Aaron Robinson at this point).

You're not following. He's still getting reps at guard. The beats have made it clear he's seen time at both. But Ezeudu is not a starter. So when first team is out there -- Eluemunor and Runyan are the guards -- Ezeudu is seen getting reps at tackle with Nelson and Neal on the side with injury, and this is a concern, how? Would it be better to have him sitting on the sideline while tackle #5 takes reps with the starters?
Ezeudu

getting reps at tackle is actually a good sign for him in terms of what
the new OL coaches also feel about his ability.
I admit

It doesn't hurt for Carmen Bricillo to see what he has and what he can do.

But it feels more like a Schoen or Daboll decision. They were trying to give him reps in OTA's there during his rookie year.

Bricillo/Schoem/Daboll

I bet they all colaborate. I'm sure they've discussed each of the OL guys on the 90-man roster. Probably have watched film together.

Bobby Johnson's failed experience as OL coach here left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, and Bricillo has to do his own homework and coaching, but I think it makes sense - especially this time of year - for all three of those guys to make decisions together, and I'd bet that that's exactly what they do.

They must believe in him, considering Ezeudu was a square peg in a round hole for the time he was playing last year.
