New York Giants headlines for Saturday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Can Andrew Thomas compete for the majority of the season?
Anyone capable of starting at a decent level at the position over a long period has a home already. And it’s worth noting that the Giants are 3-15 in the 18 games Thomas has missed over the last two seasons. While you cannot definitively say that these losses are all because of Thomas’s absence, it is a big reason and not one to be taken lightly.
Even though the Giants have addressed tackle in free agency and the draft, nobody is Thomas. Hopefully, the medical staff can find a way to keep him on the field for the season, as no one on the offensive line opens bigger holes in the run game or blocks out the sun in pass protection.
Giants legend Lawrence Taylor spoke to the team — or at least to its defensive players — on Thursday, as coach Brian Daboll‘s fourth group continues with spring workouts.
Then, from somewhere off camera, Daboll couldn’t resist making a wisecrack directed at his prized rookie pass rusher. “Abdul, you know this guy?” Daboll said.
New York Giants RT Jermaine Eluemunor. A versatile offensive lineman who began his NFL career at guard, Eluemunor started last season as New York’s right tackle, but injuries eventually forced him over to the blind side. Starting the final four games of the season at LT, the London native allowed just one sack and two pressures, according to PFF. With Andrew Thomas returning to health, Eluemunor will be back at RT for a contract season in 2025. Although the Giants are his fourth NFL team, the former fifth-round pick could be due for a healthy raise if he continues to thrive. And an influx of loot could come in handy, as the big man has an eye for style.
The Giants have completely changed their quarterback room, but it's going to stay at the top of their list of needs until we see proof of concept. The Steelers chose to let Wilson walk and roll the dice on their quarterback situation. Dart is a compelling prospect...
