Being plagued with inadequacy at one of the more important units on any given NFL team is certainly one way to guarantee failure. The Giants and former GM Jerry Reese were keen on giving veteran quarterback Eli Manning little to no time in the pocket, and they seemed content with that fact as long as Odell Beckham Jr. was happy and producing or Reese’s pride wasn’t taking a beating.
Fast forward several years and GM Dave Gettleman has made the appropriate moves to compensate for years of lackluster drafting and offensive line allocations. Bringing in Nat Solder and Will Hernandez last year was just the beginning of a team-wide overhaul.
