Banner Wins Right Tackle Job

Congratulations to him I hope he makes it his own for a long time to come he has obviously worked very hard in recent months

 

More concerned now with who is next to him if DD is out. That leaves Ben vulnerable with two new guys playing that side of the oline and very thin at backup for center.

 

I think chuks is fine and better suited to LT. Banner has that big body to help the run game. Chuks has been learning both tackles and guard so he has value.

 

Chuks did ok when he played last year but yeah, I thought he would win this camp battle. Very disappointing not to have nailed down a spot going in to year three. That 2018 draft doesn’t look great overall at this stage.

I think offensive line will be a high priority in next years draft regardless. They need to get younger. Three of your starting five are free agents and the remaining two will be 31/32 respectively.

 

Sure will.


Good thing the 2021 Class is stocked to the brim! Penei Sewell will not drop to us sadly but I would not mind Alex Leatherwood from Alabama. Walker Little is another good one as well.

 

Hoping Zach comes through. I like his story. But stories only go so far, like most businesses, this is a results and production based business.
It rewards those who succeed and casts aside those who don't.

Unless your Josh McCown then they just continue to pay you until your 107 years old for some reason.

 

I think they can handle it b&g but it's the lack of them playing with each other that is the concern. All on one side of the line too. Pass protection and blitz pickup and switching all takes time to get a unit playing together. Not so much about the individual players we have, I think we are ok there.

 

Sucks that Decastro is already hurt. Hopefully it’s not a long term thing. He is by far the best OL we have as both Pouncy and AV are clearly declining

 

Don't make him angry...

 

I like some of the players the Giants have in the front 7, should be a good test for the new starter.

 

I hope sarrett is up for the challenge.

 

Perhaps I'm a little hard on Chuks but I'm also not blind. Every time he was on the field it was either a missed block or holding call. His play to me wasn't close to an NFL caliber OT, it was just short of abysmal and Banner isn't a lot better. I think Dobbs will be playing because there will be a need for a running QB as Ben won't survive even the first half of the season.

 

TBH, I would move Feiler back to RT, banner, chuks or Dotson to RG and wis to LG for at least this one.

 

Yep.


I do not realize why this was not an option. That said, it is too late to turn back at this point for Tomlin. Hopefully Banner will do well!



I am rooting for him!!
