Best Offensive Line in Years

I have to wonder if Young is more comfortable with Brady at left tackle than Ickey …and if that means his happy feet are better because if it

…could just be lesser competition…but Giants supposed to have decent Dline

guess KC will show how much improvement is really there

That would be weird since Ikey has allowed one sack all season.

I think it's more he is getting a little more time and distance from his battering in 2023. That takes time to get over and continuing to get your brains bashed in makes it exponentially worse(see Carr, David).

That said, he still makes the occasional insane decision from a clean pocket.

I think it's more of Bryce starting to gain confidence in that the line is no longer the absolute sieve from the interior that it was last year. He can actually follow through on fundamentals without a guy coming right at his face. Makes the tackles look better because their QB isn't drifting back as much. 

Again, money well spent because interior pressure, regardless of QB, is the most consistent way of sabotaging any NFL offense. Should be obvious but the fastest way of getting to the QB/RB is a straight line. As a painful reminder, double A gap blitz in the Super Bowl.

OMG! Best mic’ed up I’ve ever seen. 

Leadership, y’all. That’s what a man who hates losing with every fiber of his being looks like. Worth every penny. 

I see what you did there, Dan.

Yeah, look at the one rep from Sunday when Mays got dog walked straight back by Lawrence. That is the poo that gets QB's rattled and flushed. 

This year those instances have been far rarer.

Robert Hunt is the biggest home run FA acquisition this team has had in a long while

That's always going to happen from time to time. You just can't have that be the norm. I'm still miffed we didn't go for one of the centers last draft because that was a missed opportunity having a rookie getting the benefit of being sandwiched between two guys who know what they're doing.

Makes me wonder why Miami didn't try harder in keeping him, especially when they have a QB with concussion issues.

The worst place to be was Vegas watching your backup kick ass and show the team how it is done where you were totally impotent. How embarrassing. That is a motivator, a little bit. Should be. 

 I can see he is trying to do what the job calls for and respect that.  

I think some of the reason he survived last season was he was defensive as hell and I also think he is gonna get whacked pretty good if he keeps stepping into his throws NFL QB style, trying to be one. But that's the job. Maybe not, maybe he'll be resilient.

Yeah, Mays is still a backup caliber player and Lawrence is an absolutely elite DT.

Frazier was the way. Most of our OL would have been locked down for multiple years.

He should have a "C" on his jersey for sure! Now thats leadership! The emotional leadership and the doing it by example makes that money Dan spent on him worth it.
