One was a pretty spectacular diving pancake block, so hey, he'll look good on his 2020 poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Also, Andrew Thomas is currently grading as the worst OL of the top four chosen in the 1st round this year, with Wirfs and Bechton way ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becton has put some ridiculous stuff on film, but he's hurt now, and he's one of those guys that plays balls to the fucking wall in his own way. We'll see what kind of player he really is after the NFL has more film on him. If he's still playing like this after half a season, he's really something special.

You mean this? https://streamable.com/hclabr Thomas has had some rough games, but he was never Khalil Mack's bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirfs walking away from that play, his sagging body language, that right there is the look of a man who knows he just got figured the fuck out.

mastershake Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Our OL still sucks BTW, but fair point that it's way too early to judge Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack is pretty awesome too, that play was a pass rushing clinic. Am I going outside? Am I bull rushing? No, I'm mind-fucking you, right back into your QB.

CrazedDogs Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 So the line still sucks, but is anyone else starting to think Gates is starting to look pretty good out there? I went back and watched a little more, hoping to see something good. No, worse than I thought actually, except for Gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year instead of having one or two players struggling, its all five. It doesn't mean they suck and need to be replaced but they need to iron out their individual play and work together to make up for the problems the guy next to him is experiencing. The line will gel eventually and Gates my be everything Columbo and the Giants believe Gates can be. Right now watching to see how they finish this season because I'm not expecting a turnaround next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a process and one I hope the Giants don't try to pull the plug on to fast. Sure get guys like Peart and Lemioux their player time when you can but the core of this line needs to start getting experience together. Think of that Oline in 2005, the core of Sudbury, Diehl, O'Hara and McKenzie played together for multiple years before they eventually jettisoned Pettigout in 2007 and kicked Diehl to the outside. That was one of the best Olines in the NFL for the length they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeitler is finished or secretly hurt, Fleming never should be a starter, and Thomas is .... upon further review... getting worse. After watching a bunch more and focusing on Thomas, I see a guy who is thinking through his assignment out loud in his head. I'm almost certain that is it, he had a brutal hesitance often this week.

I don't think Zeitler is hurt, just a lack of trust in the ability of Gates/Fleming. That is something which will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Peart looked pretty decent at LT. Does he stay there going forward, and do we move Thomas over to RT? I'd be pretty happy if these guys are the two starting tackles for the gmen for the next 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we just found our era's Jumbo Elliot. too many times yesterday I found myself saying, hey, nice pocket! --- then who do we see at LT?... Peart. If I'm the coach, he's the LT going forward.

Sephiroth Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Honestly the O-line played pretty well yesterday. Jones was only pressured on 25% of his dropbacks as opposed to the usual 60%. Receivers still couldn't separate but at least we can't blame the line this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thomas just had his best game as a pro, Gates improves every week, Lemieux is more than we can expect from a fifth rounder, and Peart is a definite keeper. And Jones.... If the line keeps playing like they did last week.... Has no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
