The New York Giants made waves early on the third Sunday of the 2018 season when it was announced that they were benching right tackle Ereck Flowers in favor of second-year UDFA Chad Wheeler.
There was much rejoicing among the fan base Sunday morning when the news hit. And at first blush the victory over the Houston Texans, weighed against losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys, gives credence to the Giants’ decision.
But it still bears asking whether the Giants’ choice was the right one going forward.
