I was absolutely on the bandwagon LOL. But this game sealed the deal, it was rough. I still feel LG is an even bigger need unfortunately. 
 

Would love to see us signing a good LG and draft a C. 

Try his ass there.  Might as well try to get something out of him since Hurney was hell bent on getting him.

I'm actually glad he was benched...can you believe back then, Rivera let Byron Bell get whooped like a rag doll by Mario Williams and never sat Bell down?!?!

And this was after he got whooped badly by Seattle DE's earlier that season, I believe

Regarding the play in contention, I'll repeat what I said before.

Scheme wise, it wasn't entirely his fault. That said, his awareness is severely lacking. And no matter what your responsibility is on that play, standing there touching nobody, looking confused and watching one of your teammates block while a defender runs right by you without you even checking in that direction makes you look like a complete moron.

I'd add this is something I've seen in Little several times. If nobody engages him right off the bat, he doesn't know what to do. It's like he's expecting a defender to run right at him every play so he can block him.

Reminds me of the guy who tells everybody he's a karate student but doesn't know what to do if you don't come at him the exact same way they did in class.

Sounds like Giants are open to trading Kevin Zeitler, not sure if he’s a LG or RG. Is he good anymore? He’s 30, so he should have a couple of good years left. I like the idea of bringing in an established LG and draft a C and potentially a LT.

Not sure about Zeitler, but since it'd be pretty difficult to rebuild 80% of an offensive line in a single offseason, we probably do need at least one short-term veteran to kind of help bring the young guys up to speed.

My vote would be for that to be a center.

Little has greatly improved his run blocking I'd like to see him get a shot at LG I think he could make a solid/elite guard.

I don't see Greg Little becoming an elite anything.

He might be a serviceable interior lineman, but that's about all I'd hope for.

He can't keep the edge at T that's clear, you never know he has seriously improved in run blocking.... serviceable on the interior is more than we have atm.

 

Still gotta pass block on the interior too though.

My concern there would be that he'd be susceptible to stunts. Mentioned above that if there's not somebody right in front of him, he doesn't know what to do. He just stands there looking confused.

The knock on him coming out was he had trouble picking up blocking schemes (and had questionable athleticism) If we got a great C he could wind up doing well.

You can't honestly think he would be worse than Reed.

No, but "better than Reed" is way too low a bar.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      The problem with drafting a DE/EDGE high in the 1st is the bust factor.  That position group busts at a scary rate.  We HAVE to hit our first 3 rounds.  Cant take chances on tweeners or potential guys.

      Man folks right on this site said Deion was gonna follow his son to the nfl and have a big impact on his draft stock with his interference and yet we have seen no such thing. He just signed an extension to stay in Colorado for the foreseeable future. The only thing we have seen is so called experts try to tank shedeurs stock with false accusations and rumors and deion just had to step in and shut it down. This why you have to stop listening to what certain people say. Too much hate and emotion in most opinions.

      Reason for Liking or Disliking Prospect X at 8 Overall

      That's sound logic! I think we could make a case for a few players. I know its not popular  with a few but Warren gives to the  identity we want. Tremble is mostly a blocker. Sanders flashed late but mostly a receiving  threat at the moment. Warren is an automatic 1st down, run blocks, runs the ball and can even line up and throw it. To me he is if you took the Taysom Hill and actually could play tight end too. I just think looking at Goedert, Kelce,  Laporta, Hoeckenson, Baltimore Tight ends, Knox and Kindcaid and etc... all the  last few teams had stellar Tight end play. Warren allows you to be unpredictable  on offense bc he is equally good at being a target, as he is a blocker. Don't want to run Bryce on a qb sneak, plug Warren in with the threat to pass. I would be happy with him, Walker or a few others. As long as the player isn't riding the bench year 1.
