and I cannot think of a better place to start than at Right Guard. At 34 years of age, Greg Van Roten is not the long-term answer. He's not even an intermediate-term answer. Unless Evan Neal is still hobbled, the Giants should feed him into that position.
I would also spell Dexter more often. We all want him to still be around when the Giants finally figure out which future QB can lead this team, and that will take some time. I wouldn't put anymore wear & tear on the Dexter tread than need be.
I would also keeping feeding in Darius Muasau inside, and if he takes snaps away from Micah McFadden, who gives a shit? I want to see for real what this guy brings to the team.
In the meantime, with Thibs out, the Azeez Ojulari experiment will be on-going. So far, the preliminary results look promising!
As an aside, what was #31 Tyler Nubin doing on Joe Burrow's near 50-yard stroll in the park for a touchdown? The Giants defensive LOS was already over-loaded to the right when a gaping hole very quickly opens up to the left. Our rookie Safety was 10 yards off the LOS and he comes rushing forward to cover a TE who is curling out to the exact opposite side from which Joe Burrow starts his run. Open your eyes young man!!! Look around. I don't care if you were on the other side of the field. You were literally running in the opposite direction of where the QB was headed.
Who knows at this point.

I don't know about that. They don't even play him in jumbo sets, something weird going on there.
The OL has stabilized somewhat. DJ finally has a little time to look for receivers rather than incoming rushers.
Too early for the 'fuck it, let's experiment' phase of the season. And by the time we get there, we'll be in 'I'm coaching for my life, I can't experiment' phase.
Eagles is a must win for us to have a remote shot at the wildcard
Hey! Open your eyes. It's over.
Bill, we're heading in to week 7 of the regular season. He's been practicing, he should be as ready as anyone by this point.

Much more likely the bulk of his struggles were at least in part caused by playing on a broken foot and other injuries he's had, I believe a back injury in 2022, IIRC.

If you told me the Giants will provide optimal pass protection from here on in, and they consistently opened holes for our RBs, then, sure, the Giants will be in the hunt. But that’s not going to happen on a consistent basis. And then you know what happens next? Everything will not be perfect for Daniel Jones and his game will get very small. Just like last night. And then just like that there is no playoff hunt.

For a top draft pick, yep. For the playoffs, how do you think a matchup with someone like Detroit would go? I'd rather not be embarrased like we were in 2022.
Ezeudu's the swing T.
They need to try Neal at G. Saying he can't do it is bullshit. He did it in college and he was good. He can't pass block NFL ER's. That's what he can't do.

Evan Neal is the swing tackle, and Thomas is hurt. The guy that should be playing at RG is Ezeudu who just isn’t an NFL tackle.

The Giants couldn't do a fucking thing against it.
There's no where left to hide now.
Depends on how many games Thomas misses. For one or two games, Ezeudu. For more games and including the bye week, Eluemunor to LT and Neal to RT. Can’t throw Neal in somewhere he hasn’t played before in the NFL. If they don’t trust him to play RT, he might as well be inactive every week.
Sigh, that's very well put and very seemingly accurate.
