But any team remains only as strong as its weakest link, and right tackle still qualifies as the New York Giants Achilles heel. Last season, the G-Men made a poor strategic decision to rely upon erstwhile starter Ereck Flowers to move from left tackle to right tackle.
When that strategy didn’t work, Gettleman had no back-up plan, other than to throw undrafted free agent Chad Wheeler into the fire. According to Pro Football Focus, Wheeler accumulated a 47.4 grade for the 2018 NFL season.
Which begs the question: Is Gettlemen depending upon Wheeler to man the right tackle spot in 2019?
