EAST RUTHERFORD u2010 Giants rookie left tackle Ereck Flowers' hands were at his hips. Not on his hips, but at his hips.
It wasn't because he was winded or tired. It wasn't because he was frustrated. It was an accidental slip, a habit that the young tackle needs to drop in order to be more consistent in his craft.
With his hands down near his hips on one play in the Giants season opener, Cowboys rookie defensive end Randy Gregory blew him on the edge. On another play against the Falcons, rookie defensive end Vic Beasley did the same.
