For contrast, just how bad is our OL STILL?

At this point I would swap Brady and Icky. Icky just doesn't have the quickness and precision to block quick DEs. He's too sloppy and easy for a DE to set up. Brady could handle the LT position better because he's faster and more precise, and Icky could provide a boost of power at LG. Icky is on the tall side for LG, but I think he could do it. Icky would help our really useless run plays where we use double team blocks that end up getting split or go nowhere. Icky would 100% change that.

Pat lacks the power we need in the running game, but he's out there due to an injury. That's fine. Top quality backup center.

We will need an upgrade for Corbett in the 2023 draft as he is not powerful enough in the run game.

I'm pleased with Moton. He's funny to watch because he's perfected his craft, but he's still pretty slow.

The ultimate problem with the offense is not pass blocking but rather Baker Mayfield. He's clearly a bottom tier QB and he's awful in the pocket, and mediocre running to the right. The Giants knew he'd run the right and had a spy waiting for him. It's easy to flush Baker out even when he should stay put.

It's implied if the entire interior is Top 5 at their positions, or whatever that was.

no its not.  

That total score is a product of both run blocking and pass blocking and it's very possible they have all given up at least one pressure and still be ranked that high.

The problem I always have with OL grades is that they tend to look at individual performances.

As our old buddy Geoff Schwartz pointed out, it's their performance as a unit that really matters.

and our unit spent the whole of training camp in some sham competition when they should have been gelling with each other and baker (who shouldn't have been part of some sham QB competition either).

The Giants weren't getting any crazy type of pressure, we just looked all spastic and went nowhere on offense against a rather below-average/league bottom defense.

With Thib out, they had Lawrence, Williams, but their defense is a bunch of JAGs and honest, I don't recognize any of their secondary players.

There's no excuse for 129 passing yards and below 50% completion against that Giants D.  Awful playcalling by McAdoo.  Just awful.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
