You can’t be basing that on tonight’s performance. That kid has nothing to be ashamed of. Hw will be nice to stash on the practice squad.

I think the reserve tackles will be Peart and Tyree Philips Davis might hang as a guard.

horrible game for Ford-Wheaton I trying to think of how he could have a worse game. The Guy gets a penalty and can’t catch a ball that was perfectly thrown. The hype train has departed, reality is here…

He was so bad then he lost his starting job. That's really saying something when you aren't good enough to be a starting QB at SU. When he got benched I remember thinking that I hope he did well on his academics. Cause that's it for his football career.

Giants need to upgrade from Ezeudu and Glowinski and to do so soon.
Except for Breida, the Giants backup runners are too slow.
Disappointed in Gray and not sure even a better OL will help his game.
Liked Schmitz a lot tonight. Just needs to see him on the run be more consistent hitting his opponent hard.
Hope Pimpleton makes the roster as he's a terrific on kick-off and punt returns.He's also a good receiver., Probably won't.
Wink's aggressive defense will at times cause real coverage problems as we saw tonight.
Like Hawkins a lot but wish he would look back for the ball so he has a chance to make some interceptions.
Riley looks promising.
Like to see if A. Robinson return soon so we can see if he's presently better than than Banks.
Giants miss W' Robinson. Really need to see him to e sure return soon.
Were there no outlet receivers for De Vito to check-down to to or did he simply not see them? Realize he had no protection and little time to pass the ball.

Devito might've even gotten worse since college. Is that even possible? He was unwatchable then.

Not defending Davis but didn't he come into the league as a guard You’re right. Just saw he’s not a tackle with us either. He was forced into it. That changes things somewhat.

Had to tape the game on NFL network tonight/tomorrow morning but based on the comments here and this article and that I don’t even care that much about pre season if the starters aren’t playing, I think I’ll just pass. For the most part it’s scrubs against scrubs, good to know one scrub is better than another but that doesn’t mean shit when playing against starters (ie DeVito). Sounds like the O line is once again a concern. Zero depth, couple starters did play and didn’t look so hot and we’re still strongly relying/assuming on one of the worst RT’s in the league last year making leaps and bounds to become at least average because people like him, he works hard and he was drafted high. He also has all the skills according to our message board scouts. Good news is, one pre season game down, only two left until the cowboys. www.yahoo.com/sports/giants-takeaways-friday-21-16-022613896.html

Typical preseason opener. Watching backups. No need to over-react, or even react to anything. Not much to take away but some performances by Pinnock, Fox. Young CB's played ok.
Yes, if our entire starting lineup goes down, we're screwed.... Just get out relatively healthy and forget it.

Given that the Giants offensive line has only three decent starters if either of our not so good OL guards go down that could be the season. It's possible Hamilton or Phillips could help, but It's still imperative that Schoen do something soon to improve the OL. The Giants won't see their real shortcomings till they play the Jets.

Yes, if our entire starting lineup goes down, we're screwed.... Just get out relatively healthy and forget it. Except Ezudu, Bredeson, and Peart have good chances of being starters on opening night or some time throughout the season (injuries) and all three were terrible. As of now it's arguable that we have a starter quality guard on the roster. I don't have any love for Glowinski. And Neal needs to take a huge step or we'll just be a turnstile at RT all season, based on our tackle depth. If the gap between him and Peart isn't wide, it's going to get ugly fast. Yes it's preseason, but the guys who might start looked overmatched against 2s and 3s.

I think our whole season is dependent on our Oline. I would like Joe to find a way to bring in a legit guard and backup tackle. We lost Gates and didn't really replace him. I don't want our season to depend on EZ, Peart, Shane, etc. I'm okay with AT, Bredeson, JMS and hopefully Neal but 4 is not enough. We need 6 legit linemen. 5 starters and 1 legit backup.

not to harp on it more, but in the 2nd half, our makeshift O lIne was about as bad as it could have been. Granted I don't think a starter was playing and many of the 2nd teamers were done by then, but still, it shows how poor our depth is. Hard to say how our starting unit will look, lol.

Devito sucks, but at least he'll never play a real game.
That being said, what the hell is Tyrod Taylor good for? God help us if Jones goes down.
...and someone wanted him to start over Jones.....Lololol.....

We've certainly seen young QB's play a whole lot worse than that, for sure!!

Just watched the first half and was watching Ezeudu specifically on every play because one or two posters were trashing him. I really didnt see anything that bad at all. One blown pass pro for sure but other than that I am not seeing what was so terrible. Am I missing something?

He will get another shot because of that game and Banks, Papa and the Giants sideline were at least moderately impressed.

Giants ran a vanilla offense last night, but the Giants backfield pass plays and running plays were not good. With hundreds of plays to chose from that should not be.Not having a better OL and quicker backs didn't help.
We got to see the speed and quickness of the Giants d-backs that made both deflections and interceptions. There will be growing pains but one can see that the Giants defense will be far better than last season. Looking forward to seeing our starting d-line and LBers eventually playing. .
Regrettable that both Cunningham and Davis ruined watching the second half.
The Giants will be far better offensively when Jones and the full cast of receivers are on the field. The OL still needs improvement. Like to see if Hamilton and Phillips can help.
