I dunno , I’m not going to pretend I’ve watched tape on this dude. Why are they looking to move him?

Because he sucked at LT I assume. Change of scenery and different coaches and could turn things around. But definitely needs to move to RT.

Just look at the Giants fan forum and you'll see why I don't want him. Below is a quote from one of their members to give you an idea :D

 

"Getting a 6th or 7th would be enough for this waste of space. Get him out of the locker room! He stinks and he doesnt care to get better. Use that pick to draft our future kicker lol. Bye Bye Ereck!"

Anybody suggesting that INDY add Flowers as a LT or RT is clearly a. Off their meds, b. needs to increase their dosage, or c. Never watched any Giants games recently. 

 

READ My Lips: Absolutely under no circumstances do we bring that bust into Lucas Oil Stadium. 

 

That even as a joke is no laughing matter.

He was severely overdrafted and I think is playing out of position. He's had lower body tightness issues and struggled to get proper depth quick enough to hold up against pass rushers. He would be a much better guard, especially since he's a strong run blocker and has pretty good short area quickness. I don't know that I would trade for him though. Maybe get him as a FA or off waivers if he's cut, but I wouldn't give up draft capital for him.

Flowers was a huge reach at #9 in the 2015 draft. Especially since Todd Gurley went #10. Flowers was supposed to be their RT but when their LT Beatty tore his pec, Flowers was forced into the LT position. He struggled, and the Giants were stubborn to admit the mistake and allowed the issue to fester. Flowers, aside from his struggles, also had an incident in which he shoved a Giants reporter. He may be worth a shot on a team with OL stability looking for depth, but not here where we need quality starters with no baggage.

His hand usage is awful. That would get exposed more at G.

If he was any good why would the Giants want to part ways with him? The last thing this team needs right now is another team’s castoffs.

 

Umm...signing another team's castoff has Ballard written all over it. However, in this case, I would pass.

      Ballard on Lombardi podcast, GM Shuffle

      By Superman · Posted

      Definitely. He said the same things last year that he said this year in defending AD. He just didn't name the player he was talking about. I think QBs were the topic, so it could have applied to Levis or Stroud, but it was obvious he was talking about Stroud.   This year, some agencies advised their clients not to take the S2 test. That's about all I remember about it. I think the cognitive testing process has some image rehab to do, and if they can keep scores and results out of the public sphere, that's a good start for them.

      He’s not wrong.  Stroud was getting killed based on doing poorly on the new test to measure mental aptitude.   Strictly on that basis it was good to see Stroud succeed.      PS —. Speaking of that test, did we hear anything about that in the 2924 draft?   I didn’t read a single story about it.   Did you?

      Go to about the 23 minute mark if you want to hear. Below is from the Youtube transcript:   one of the things I struggle with is spend so much time tearing down 23:29 19 20 21 year old kids with unnamed sources in the media that just I mean 23:36 why like wh why just I don't understand where the benefit is in that and if I 23:45 think if you go back in history and you look at the guy some of the guys that have been ripped apart and tore down um 23:51 some of them have been really successful I look I went off the year before about CJ stra with CJ and people were killing 23:58 killing him over a over over a test and I mean he he debunked that pretty 24:06 quickly

      I was always told, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all". If Ballard said anything nice about Reich, he was wrong.

      What about Leonard at safety?

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      His injury story is probably one of the saddest stories in the league. I am sure he misses playing like crazy. Just goes to show take advantage while your playing because you never know when it will end.  To have the game you love taken away so abruptly is very sad. I am sure he will end up in tv at some point.
