LOL. Yeah. I got tired of getting my hopes up and being let down. So kinda chilled out this year. Same expectations. Same letdown. Just didn't go nuts on the forum lmao.... But no. If we sign 2-3 good players I will be here acting like a 12 year old. LOL.

So?

 

You can't find good players on a bad team?

 

 

How many years now have we gone after depth or just average guys on the OL and it hasn’t worked out? At some point we gotta pony up for quality OL players.

Watch some Giants games. The whole Giants Line is a mess like ours. Do you think if he was that good they would led him go?

 

There aren't too many good OLs in the NFL these days.

Shuffle the deck, and hope for a better hand.

The Giants have salary cap issues...  they're looking to let go of Pugh and Richman, their center.

 

The biggest problems on the Giants line has been the tackles.   There can still be decent players on a bad line..

Fluker has potential still, would be a decent signing, he can run block good..

I am intrigued by Pugh. Seems like a gamble that Ballard would take, given his versatility and pedigree.

Lol. It was funny though.  Iyou weren't a jerk about it or nothing, so for me at least, its the kind of gabbing and goofing friends do. Im just glad I was around to see the #allinyall born. LOL.

PFF and BR guys graded him as #56 and #57 guard in the NFL. Whole NFL didn't think much of him last year in FA when he signed 1yr, 3M deal.

 

Every team runs a different offense...   not every offense asks its players to do the same thing.  

 

Reich and the OC were with Fluker in SD. If they are ok with him and so is Ballard, then they get the benefit of the doubt from me.

I will admit about a week ago I had to check and make sure you were still around. Didnt see any hyped FA threads from you and got a little worried. As much as we razzed you about it last yr, it is better than all the negativity we are seeing right now.

"In-touch" is a far cry from "all-in."  But we will see if they bring him in.

I said earlier I misread the report and it said the list of teams were all in the mix for him. Sorry for the misreport

I wouldn't rely on Fluker as a starter.  However, if I had real concern that Mewhort wasn't coming back, I'd want some quality depth at the position, and would sign him (if the price was right).  The guy can play at this level, but I don't think he's a quality starter.

 

He may or may not be a quality starter..,,   But he IS a starter in the NFL.

 

Fluker is not going anywhere as a backup. He's starting for someone, whether it's the Colts or someone else...   he is not a backup.

Possibly one of the worst headline you could hear, lol he's horrible. Huge bust and one of the worst OL man last year.

 

Thank God you're here to save our two incompetents from themselves.    I'm sure Ballard and Reich will defer to your genius and lose all interest in Fluker.   All they have to do us read your posts.

I wonder if the local media ticked off Ballard so he is just sitting there laughing his butt off watching these *s report who we are linked to and he is like nope...you’ll see we aren’t linked to ANYONE lol. Ballard is making a fool out of the Colts beat reporters lol. If nothing else is learned out of this it is that DONT listen to any of our reporters because they don’t know JACK. All speculation from them...and their sources are like janitors in the building.

Thank god you're here to make snarky, very necessary comments! Fluker was atrocious last year. Literally ask ANY Giants media member. Consistently torched in pass protection, allowed tons of hurries/sacks. A decent run blocker, but the glaring wholes out-weigh the decent run blocking. Look at his PFF grade, 42.4 (56th ranked guard - incase you can't tell thats not good). Giants fans were so sick of this guy. He's also got a past of being a iffy locker room guy... throwing other under the bus, slamming teammates. What a guy! Being "all in" on a guy like that when you've got over 70 million dollars in cap, with a horrible OL, especially when theres better options on the market.. not really a "build the monster" type player. 

 

Now, do you want the Works Cited in MLA, APA, or Chicago? Seeing how this is the most serious topic in the world and every single post must be held to the standards of Ballard and Riech.

Not bad but hasn’t lived up to hype

Hype and offensive line normally don’t meet very often. Especially when Colts is thrown in the mix. If he’s relatively cheap sure, if he’s too expensive, let him walk. No need to waste money on a maybe player.

 

i would however like it if he shopped 1 or 2 linemen on a 1 year deal to protect Luck before we address the offensive line through the draft. This year or next year, we should be spending a R1 pick on a tackle or a guard.

Fluker is mediocre. But with the quality of O-line play declining so badly in the NFL, I suspect he will find a job. Just hopefully not with the Colts. 

Jensen and Pugh? Now, that would be an upgrade. Sign me up.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Solid84 · Posted

      It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.

      They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.

      Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.

      His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.

      Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
