The Giants have to do something. They can't go into the Lions game with the same approach and starting OL.
1. Move Pugh to RT
2. Move Hart to LG
3. Insert DJ Fluker to RG
4. Start RB Orleans Darkwa
5. Less shotgun, more under center
The Giants have to reshuffle this offensive line. The same starting 5 as last year and they're getting the same results (Eli under pressure, pocket collapsing fast, no running game). It seems like a lot of the pressures come from the RG and RT spot. I would move Justin Pugh to RT to settle down the tackle spot. Despite Bobby Hart's claim that he is the best RT in the NFL, I would move him to LG. The Giants viewed him as a G when they drafted him (click here). Fluker's run blocking ability is sorely needed right now. If the Giants are worried about his pass blocking, I mean, he can't be worse than Jerry. If Hart struggles, insert Jerry at LG. Unless the Giants have some major trade or they're going to sign John Greco (who they worked out last week), that's how I would tweek the OL. I'm just going with what the Giants have to work with.
Flowers wasn't all-pro last night
I would start Orleans Darkwa. He runs with more power than Perkins. I like Perkins and will still get him the ball, but I make Darkwa RB1 and Perkins RB2.
Most importantly, less shotgun more under center. The Cowboys know the Giants 11 personnel package and they showed that last night, especially Sean Lee. I don't know the exact numbers, but it seemed like they were in shotgun a lot last night. Just go under center more and utilize the FB and 2 TE sets. Keep the defense guessing. They are predictable.
Well that's what I would do, but it won't guarantee success. At this point, I just want to see some change on the OL for the sake of change. What they're doing now isn't working.
