Pat Flaherty met with reporters ahead of the Giants bye week to share his impressions of how the offensive line performed over the first ten games of the season.
Perhaps no other unit mirrors the Giants’ up-and-down nature as their offensive line. They have overachieved versus preseason expectations but underachieved given that the team leads the NFC East. Big Blue’s O-Line ranks near the top of the league with respect to run-blocking but near its bottom in terms of pass blocking. Moreover, they are one of football’s most disciplined units, tied for second regarding penalties.
Like the team in general, the offensive line has had to deal with its fair share of injuries while also having to integrate rookie Ereck Flowers into the starting rotation in place of Will Beatty.
