minutemancl Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The right side of the Giants offensive line has gone from Patrick Omameh and Ereck Flowers last year to Kevin Zeitler and Mike Remmers this year. Pretty serious upgrade. Zeitler is an elite guard and Remmers is at least a serviceable right tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lark25 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 They’ve actually got a good line now. For a few years they featured a few overdrafted guys that just weren’t good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Remmers was decent at RT in 2017. But he was horrible at RG last year. Seems like an okay spot for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Eh, Remmers should be okay as a stopgap. Plus he has familiarity with Shurmur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skywindO2 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Not that he's great anywhere but he was a much better RT than an RG for the Vikings. Hopefully they plan to keep him at tackle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iknowcool Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Remmers was an okay stopgap at RT. Lets just hope for the Giants sake, Gettleman doesn't get the idea to rely on him playing LT for the offense again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 A good offensive line is always good, great to see the Giants taking the steps needed to fix theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mike Remmers? Good luck with that, I thought he had some potential coming to Minnesota, had a decent career at Oregon State and a little nasty to him in the run game. But I was very disappointed in him at tackle, he got beat down and then the move to guard blew up also and he did little to nothing there either. No way was he worth the contract they gave him in Minnesota and he was a disappointment to say the least. Only thing he has going for him is experience, in college it seemed hey he has some good feet, moves well and is aggressive enough in the run game to maybe do some things, showed a little on Carolina but just has never taken that next step. My guess is Wheeler is the other starting OT not Remmers. Is crazy how bad Solder was after playing so well on the Patriots, see if Trent Brown can play well in Oakland or is it indeed the system in New England that allows them success as a OT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solder is our LT, as he deserves to be after finishing the second half of the season very strong. Replacing Omameh and Flowers with Jamon Brown and Chad Wheeler helped a bit, but really what helped the offense improve drastically in the 2nd half of the season was the improved play and chemistry of Solder and Hernandez on the left side. Solder isn't an elite tackle or anything, but he's absolutely a solid one. Wheeler just isnt good. I wouldn't be ok with him having any role greater than a swing tackle.

I would be surprised to see Mike Remmers become a starter, the guy is not good. If you think Wheeler is not good well Mike Remmers is not good either, they tried to move him to guard because tackle just was not working out and guard did not work out either. Now you feel he can start at tackle again and become a great player? They better hope so because he was simply not in Minnesota, he was barely even a starter much less a good one.

Welp: I will confess, as a long-suffering Giants' fan, I would be very happy indeed if Dave Gettleman stopped using the term "hog mollies", and actually picked up a couple more "NFL offensive linemen"- say, right tackle and center? Not as sexy a phrase, but still.........? "Hunh?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
