Beatty

[BlueInCanada]

As much as people have been laying into the guy, he has had a bounce back season.

 

Not a 30 million dollar bounce back season but in my mind he's played himself back into the starting LT role that got him that contract, I would even say he's has been a top 15 LT this year.

 

Take today for example, he was against Quinn, the same DE who had 20(?) sacks last season and 11 this season. Beatty held him (in more ways than one) too zero sacks on the day, I don't even think he had a solo tackle and man handled him in the run game. I'll take the holding penalties if it means Eli isnt having to peel himself off the turf every other play.

 

Granted I feel like if he wants to continue being on the Giant's he would need to restructure his contract, but I wouldn't have a problem with him being the starting LT next season.

 

The O-line has been playing really well in general the last number of weeks, I think in large part to Beatty and Pugh being able to keep DEs off of Eli.

Beatty is back to playing up to expectations this season but unfortunately its when the rest of the team is not.

[Herc]

The line was awesome today. Eli really does live and die with them

Holding helps

[Storm]

Holding helps

 

Cmon, he only held 4 times!

[BlueInCanada]

Holding helps

 

A hold that get's five yards, or a sack that nets five yards.

 

He still held one of the best DE's in the league to absolutely nothing.

Every offensive lineman holds. I'd still like to look olineman in the draft someone that could start at G and then slide over, but yeah Beatty's been good and so has Pugh the past two weeks back from injury

Yeah, I feel more confident in Beatty than I did at the beginning of the year and I don't think that should go unmentioned. That said, I'd have to look at his salary compared to other LTs in the league and evaluate performance before I'd vote yay or nay on a restructure. But going into next year, I'm fine with him at OT...but still think that offensive line depth is a huge issue.
