Brett Jones gives Giants' O-line spark vs. Jets. New right guard? | Instant Analysis

EAST RUTHERFORD — The Giants are thumping the Jets, 29-3, at halftime.

And it all started when they made a change at ... right guard?

Yup. After a horrible first series, John Jerry was shown the bench and Brett Jones was installed as the first-team right guard. Offensive success, and points, soon followed.

What does it all mean? And what happened elsewhere for the first-team offense? Let's break it all down with some instant analysis:

Ben McAdoo finally did something about his woeful offensive line. Will he stick with it?

After veteran right guard John Jerry had a pair of horrid snaps in pass protection on the opening drive, the second allowing Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson to force Giants quarterback Eli Manning into flinging up a jump ball interception, McAdoo yanked Jerry and put in reserve Brett Jones, who had taken some first-team snaps in practice this past week.
