Jordan should be gone immediately. I cannot imagine that there aren't better options available off the street.

We better not suck in pass pro all game next week because its apparently an issue for the Giants

Pass-rushing Depth is a Concern

The Giants did not dress any regular contributors in their defensive front seven. The defense was 13th in sacks last season, and most of those sacks came from guys not dressed for the first preseason game.

What was left was a bunch of guys who needed to prove they could get to the quarterback. Outside of a couple of pressures by Tomon Fox and a late-game sack by Habakkuk Baldonado, pressure on the Lions' quarterbacks was scarce.

Part of that could be due to how vanilla the defense was in the game, but it highlighted that without the defensive staff scheming up a way to get to the quarterback, these second and third units struggled to win 1-on-1 battles.

Look, we got popped in the mouth. Now we get to see if they respond. If this coaching staff is what it’s been hyped up to be, then it’s on them to light the appropriate fires. Our O-line is better than what they showed last night. Hopefully they get pissed and prove it

We’ve hashed on this the past few years and people keep forgetting. It’s why Cam Erving is still here because the dept across the league is bad and even below avg is better than having nothing at the moment.

Outside of Cleveland and Philly everyone has bad depth KC, Buffalo, and San Fran included.

I feel like OL depth has become such a need across the NFL that you can get away half assing your way through the NFL and not have to work hard to get better.

I think this game is a one off.  I suspect they'll play much better this week.  There is no way our OL all of a sudden went from a strength to a weakness in one preseason game.

I can see one of the main issues being consistency. Even if we only were down Corbett, not having that consistency hurts. The Saints would have issues every time Peat missed a game.

I’m surprised we haven’t seen anybody made an example of and outright cut yet

Let's hope you are not correct and I'm trying to wait a little bit before I freak out about Corbett being out and let's hope he gets back soon.

Which is why you should always draft additional OL later in the draft every year (which we seem to be doing now).

Honestly, that would be a Matt Rhule move, Im sure they are looking through the wire but being methodical about it instead of emotional about it.

I don’t know how much tape the league needs on MJ before they figure out what we all know
