He was a natural Guard, but could play all over the Line. He was a very valuable piece of that line. Ezuedu should be better prepared to go to LT now, but I’m so sure I’d risk that. I think it’s going to be Elumenour to LT and Neal back out at RT. 15 PPG might seem high after this shuffled debacle in the making!
Diehl had played T some, G some and even Center.. Neal needs to play RT..
Bold prediction for the pod: Eric says-considering Thomas' injury-we have no choice but to run it back with Jones in 2025 because it wouldn't be fair to poor Daniel to not have Andrew @ LT. :-)
This is my worry. The single best thing for the Giants would be for Eluemunor to do a good job at LT and either Ezeudu or Neal to step up at RT and Jones to continue doing what he does, which is suck.
Ezeudu was meh to bad at LT last year. Unless Bricillo is really confident he's improved, why give him a crack? Neal had his success as a LT after t er all
isn't getting fired. I suspect he has a free pass this year
due to the qb situation. He wanted a QB in the last draft.
The price was to high for the front office.
He also is playing Jones,,,,,which makes Mara happy.
Schoel is up down but I like the last draft.
The roster is better....held back by....you guessed it.
If this is used as an excuse to bring back Jones next season, I'm out. I'm not even kidding. I'll watch the NFL, but not one second of the Giants. If the Giants are idiotic enough to bring back Jones in '25 as the unquestioned starter/a Lock-DeVito like backups, this organization isn't serious about winning & not one worth watching one second of football.

At some point it becomes insulting to the fans' intelligence. (I mean, it already is, but it just gets worse.)

You joke, but you know just as well as me that we can't rule out another excuse to bring back Jones for a seventh tryout.
I have a feeling Shamrocks, Stroud, et al are heading out to buy champagne right now.
So it's frustrating to see them continue that charade.
I'd play Eluemunor at LT and Neal at RT. Very interested in when they pull the Daniel Jones plug with the injury guarantee in their forefront. They absolutely cannot risk that. Play DeVito, Lock doesn't really solve anything. At least with Cutlets he could serve as a bridge next summer.
We're way past insulting to our intelligence. We're in the 'Fuck what the facts say, that Jones is a bad QB. Fuck the fans, who are sick of losing. Fuck all of that...stop bitching & enjoy your medium Pepsi.'
No doubt. This is all they need to justify bringing Jones back in '25. 'Thomas went down 6 games into the season! It'd be unfair to judge Daniel without him @ LT!'
I seriously can already hear it. The sad thing is Mara probably feels the same.

Yeah I know we already got that earlier this year from Giants State Media, but I was hoping that THIS would be the year they finally give up on the charade. I myself am unsure how I could bear it if they keep it up.
cooked already. I think Schoen and Daboll saw what they needed to see with a good line and good WRs...he still is unable to run a high powered offense.
Shit, he could have been medium powered and would have beaten Dallas and Cincy.

Assuming Thomas misses extended time, the Giants need to move Jermaine Eluemunor to LT. Josh Ezeudu and Evan Neal would be the options at RT. I’d expect Ezeudu to get the first crack at RT (or LT if they keep Eluemunor at RT).
The Giants had all five OL play 100% of the snaps in the first six games. A major shakeup coming.
It’s his natural position anyway. I honestly feel half the issue with him is they assumed he could just adapt to RT in the NFL and he hasn’t been able to do that. It’s a totally different position.
Watch him play LT and look great.
Was thinking this same thing. Possible a better LT than a RT
It would be that Neal bounces back on the left side. Even if his future isn’t here maybe they can flip him but at least they might be able to salvage something out of it.

Wait, why? Why would Ezeudu get the first crack?
Because Neal hasn't taken a snap at LT in years. You either play Ezeudu or Elumunor at LT.

Eric, maybe next week, sure. But before long it would be wise to see what Neal can do there.

He played a year at G, a year at RT and a year at LT in college and the last 2 years exclusively at RT. We can hope he’s a natural LT but he certainly hasn’t played there very much.
Sink or swim time for Evan. I still he'd be best suited @ guard, but here we are.
You try to make as few changes as possible.
Moving Eleumenor doesn't fix anything if Neal still sucks. You're just playing whack-a-mole. Ezeudu likely isn't good either, but the situation is what it is.
Agreed.
What a fucking losers mindset.
There is a really good chance he's starting on Sunday.
Yep and the momentum for year 7 is building.
Diehl had played T some, G some and even Center.. Neal needs to play RT..

Better glue a TE to his side for the whole game to help block.
I can honestly see this happening.
Listen to the podcast tonight.

They are going nowhere above mediocre at best. Sell now.

Both of them need to be ready when called upon. Ezeudu was the left tackle in pre season, no?

At least we'll have the rest of the season to see what Evan Neal is worth and if we can rely on him moving forward.

At least he’s played there and played well, unlike Ezeudu before last year when he got Jonese head almost taken off by Van Ginkle.

You’re a year late buddy.
Am I missing something?

This team wasn't going anywhere with or without Andrew Thomas.
