The part that absolutely drives me crazy is it’s not like they’ve neglected the line, but no matter who it is, no one can get it right. 3 different GMs, 4 different coaches, and not a single one of them has made any difference. Reese, Gettleman, Schoen have all swung and missed on major OL acquisitions with top 10 picks and big free agent contracts (Ereck Flowers, Nate Solder/Will Hernandez, Evan Neal). Guys we draft in the mid-to-late rounds aren’t even passable backups. Even when they nailed a pick like Andrew Thomas, it’s still the worst line in the league. Any OL who suits up for the Giants is immediately bottom 5 at their position.
I don’t know how to fix it, but I don’t think the answer is continuing to dump premium draft picks into the abyss. Something has to change with coaching, starting with position coaches all the way up to the OC. QB plays a part as well. Eli was immobile late in his career and Jones has a horrible feel for the pressure.
DJ is obviously better. You’re nuts if you think DeVito is some revelation after 1 game against crappy Washington.
But lets be honest about DJ. Most of his production (statistically) comes against teams like Washington, Indy, Minnesota. He typically managed 2-3 games like this per year to prop his whole season up and is otherwise mediocre.
DeVito going off just shows how low the bar has been set for DJ. He gets praised and paid for doing things an undrafted rookie has shown he’s capable of.
