The Giants decided to stick with their young offensive tackles and gamble on them improving. The Rams decided to sign an established veteran to solidify their line.
Guess which team enters Sunday’s game with a 5-2 record and the second-best scoring offense in the NFL?
Hint: It’s not the Giants.
Not that all of their woes can be pinned to not pursuing or signing Andrew Whitworth, a move the Rams made and are glad they did. But the arguments general manager Jerry Reese made last week regarding sticking with Ereck Flowers and Bobby Hart as his projected starting tackles and not signing Whitworth — chief among them that he wanted the team to be younger and not add a 35-year-old lineman — seem less defendable with the Rams coming to town exhibiting the benefit of the addition.
