Why does Nate Solder play right tackle for the New York Giants while Matt Peart mostly sits, scraping up a few snaps as a jumbo tight end? Offensive line coach Rob Sale on Thursday gave about as direct an answer to that question as an NFL coach ever will.
“Plain and simple, you watch every play when Andrew (Thomas) was out, the body of work, Nate’s the better player right now,” Sale said.
“Matt’s had opportunities. We’re playing the best players that (we) think have a chance to give us a position to win. Nate, in my opinion, in our opinion, he’s playing better.
