This saying somehow bypassed New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese. Almost universally, the NFL world has debunked Reese’s contention that his hand-picked offensive line has progressed. At his bye week press conference, Reese continues to defend the much-maligned unit, with a particular focus on left tackle Ereck Flowers.
“Again, Ereck Flowers – it seems like this is a common theme, everybody wants to beat up on Ereck Flowers. Ereck Flowers is not the reason we’re 1-6, okay? He’s still a young player, he’s been a starter for us for three years, I still believe he will develop and get better.
