Giants prepared make Norwell highest paid Guard NFL History

They pissed Gman off.  OL is their priority, but Norwell is not clearly our best lineman, so...Of course, other teams have bluffed Hurney before and forced his hand--(without details, the colts bluffed that they were taking Armanti Edwards in the third when he was a seventh rounder or so on their board; Atlanta, with no cap room, bluffed that they were going to sign hometown Georgia alum Charles Johnson, so MH overpaid him by about $20m.)  Maybe other teams are excited that the chump is back in play.

And we have this:  Moton could be a better guard---

"I had to go back and watch his 2015 tape when he played guard. He was a little rough at tackle this year but that isn't his spot. Big and strong as a guard. He was moving guys from Ohio State around like it was nothing." -- Area scout for NFC team  

Bottom Line

Four-year starter for ascending Western Michigan program. Size and potential to dominate at the point of attack with pure power should make him a coveted right guard prospect. He can be a little stiff in his movements and his footwork needs plenty of work, but he's functional in both areas. Might need additional work before he is ready to take on the wily, athletic defensive tackles in the NFL, but his physical traits and power give him a chance to become a reliable NFL starter.

That is not to say that he cannot play both Tackle spots, but he did not beat out Williams (or Kalil).  Rivera does not like rookies, so he did not step in front of Amini Silatolu.  Is he another Travelle Wharton?

I hope Moton can be our future at LT since LTs are a lot harder to find and more expensive (no doubt because they're a lot harder to find) than OGs.

    • I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.
    • Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
