Eric Flowers out of the line up today

[Lughead]

Chad wheeler to start

[UK-Giantsfan]

wow i'm shocked .....but it is probably the right move ( lets hope that JJ Watt hasn't seen any tape on Chad Wheeler )

[CrazedDogs]

....And that was the moment I knew we were headed for a 3 win season.

 

Hope I am wrong, but Wheeler was abysmal this preseason, far worse than Flowers, from what I saw. He looked bad against backups.

[BlueInCanada]

Maybe Wheeler has a better understanding of the assignments.

 

Lord knows that Flowers hasnt learned a thing his entire career.

[UK-Giantsfan]

thanks again Jerry Fucking Reese !

 

( starting a 2nd string RT against Clowney and Watt scares the shit out of me .........but i suppose time is up for Ereck ) .

 

i suppose we will still end up seeing Flowers today as a jumbo tight end ....so we will probably still hear " Holding ....number 74 Offense " at some point anyway

[Herc]

Fuck that guy

[K3VIN]

It's only 4 years to late

Hot cakes; Wheeler is a better RT than Flowers.

[CrazedDogs]

It's amazing the difference so far.

 

Watt did school Wheeler with a ridiculous swim move, hopefully that was Wheelers only lol moment of the day.

[Herc]

Hot cakes; Wheeler is a better RT than Flowers.

Thank god

[CrazedDogs]

well I stand corrected.... Wheeler is clearly superior to Flowers. Not sure when that happened, but I'm glad to see it.

Giants RT Chad Wheeler has now given up three sacks to J.J. Watt. If Ereck Flowers had done that everyone would (rightfully) be screaming for him to be benched. Truth is Wheeler did as good a job as could be expected on Watt in the first half. Showed a lot of potential.

If it was Flowers, he would have given 10 sacks.

If it was Flowers, he would have given 10 sacks.

 

That is the prevailing logic of the fans.

I rather I guy out their giving it his all then a lazy SOB killing the team

Agreed. Besides.. this was Wheeler's first start no? And JJ Watt is a beast anyway...

[Herc]

Yesterday is exactly what I was hoping for this season. Bad at times but giving him space at other times. Enough so that we can give our playmakers some chances. Our offense will be good as long as the line is league average

[boohyah]

They created a pocket for him and the play timing was so much better this week.

[Storm]

Moving Manning around helps. Also helps that Manning was actually stepping up rather than trying to spin out of pass rushes coming up field from the ends.

Part of it is coach sending a message to the whole unit. Couple this with dumping Smith after is horrible outing in Dallas seems to have been the right move.

 

We are still very much a work in progress but a lot of positives yesterday.
