The Giants spent all summer trying to get their offensive line to transform from five players into one unit. Just about every snap they took from the first one in training camp in late July to the first half of their Week 2 game in Dallas in mid-September had the same group line up in the same order. Even when they stood around, watching second-team reps in practice or when the defense was on the field, it was usually in that on-field formation from one tackle to the other.
But then things started to change. Center Jon Halapio suffered a season-ending injury in that game against the Cowboys.
