Offensive line coach Pat Flaherty had a good feeling when the Giants drafted Ereck Flowers.
"I felt and I still feel that Ereck is going to be a very good player for the New York Giants for a long time," he said on Thursday. "I thought in a couple of years he'd be very good. Well, a couple of years now is September, so that's where that's at."
Flowers has been pressed into service at the most important position on the offensive line: left tackle. He's stepped in and replaced projected starter Will Beatty, who tore his pectoral muscle just before the start of OTAs last month.
