Daniel Jones, Devito, and whoever else they played last year are all meh at best. Yes, the OL was terrible for the Giants. We all knew this. But the OL wasn't done any favors by subpar QB play. They also had a ton of injuries up front and were dumpster-diving to fill holes. That contributed as well.
For us, Allen makes the OL look better than they really are. He has since his arrival. This isn't the same same crap show we have seen previously, but we don't have the Chiefs OL, or an OL like the Eagles had, or one of the other top groups. We have an overall decent group, with a couple better than the rest, that Allen can work with better than the previous groups.
Dawkins is a good LT. McGovern was solid at LG last year and huge upgrade over Saffold. Moving him to C is..... I don't like the idea. I'd rather give those reps to Van Pran. That leaves who at LG? Edwards? Are we confident in that? I don't know. Seems like a lot of question marks up front this year. I like Torrence at RG. He was one of the players I wanted us to draft in 2023, we did, and he played solid for a rookie. Now on to Spencer Brown. We can all agree he was better last year. He's good in the run game and likes to maul people. His pass pro is still lacking at times, getting caught off balance by countermoves and not being able to get out quick enough against speed rushers. Hopefully, another healthy off-season continues his development and he is the bookend we hope for.
We have a tough schedule this year. A lot of good teams. Teams with good interior defenders. I hope these moves on the OL shake out. If they don't, the season won't be pretty and Allen will be out here running for his life again.
