Giants’ Nick Gates raves about young offensive line, says offseason is ‘huge’

The New York Giants are heavily relying on their offensive line to take a significant step forward in 2021, otherwise, Daniel Jones could revert back to his pocket awareness issues, which are directly correlated to turning the football over and fumbles.

Last season, the Giants ranked as one of the worst OLs in the NFL, ranking 31st in pass blocking efficiency, according to PFF. Operating with new faces at multiple key positions, including left and right tackle, the Giants not only struggled to protect the edges, but they also had a rotational approach at right tackle and an offensive line coach that was fired midseason due to ineffectiveness.
