New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen confirmed what the fan base has known for years, the offensive line is still an issue.
It’s not news to anyone watching the Giants for the last decade. For the fans watching, the offensive line has been a main cause for many headaches and Alka-Seltzer. Will Schoen provide the cure for all that’s wrong with this team?
There’s little to no need to further break down the current state of the offensive line, it’s in shambles.
The shambles are the same as Schoen’s predecessor, Dave Gettleman, promised he’d clean up four years ago.
Unfulfilled promises are all this fan base has seen from the Giants, Schoen has his work cut out for him.
They say acknowledging the problem, as soon as possible, is always the right approach.
With SNY on Wednesday, following his introductory press conference, Schoen was asked for his thoughts on the problem.
“I think everybody knows, the offensive line, and again, they had some injuries, unfortunately,” Schoen said. “Yeah, that’s going to need to be addressed. Because if you really want to see Daniel Jones put his best foot forward, he’s got to be on his feet. And if you want to see what Saquon (Barkley) can do, it would be nice if you block guys. So, yeah, the offensive line will be a priority.”
This season, the Giants ranked in the bottom half of the league in offense. Can’t run the football if the offensive line can’t run block. And you can’t throw the football without an offensive line that can protect the quarterback.
Schoen hasn’t done any heavy lifting yet, but early points to him for recognizing the obvious.
