Was waiting for this to hit the Giants channel but here is the sit down with the offensive lineman.
I feel like one underlying thread throughout all the conversations with the guys was the impact of Carmen Bricillo as our new OL Coach. Seems like a real emphasis is being put on not only the structure of our play designs in blocking but having the air in the coaching/conversation for the talents to better express what they see out on the field and how they like to utilize their skills to overcome them.
That alone is like one major, major change from our previous coaching as games often times felt overly scripted not just in the play calling but how our OL was attacking on their side of the line of scrimmage. This will hopefully give the players upfront more ownership on how the unit as a whole performs. For instance the DAL game feeling like there were no adjustments made during the onslaught of pass rush.
Of course we need guys healthy and staying as close to that as possible during the year, for now I’m glad to see them really having the freedom to put in their insights on it. Bricillo seems very cognizant that just telling these guys what’s up without understanding better what the player themselves is seeing is of good importance.
Elemenuor is giving off great veteran vibes when it comes to guys taking ownership of their play and having the experience on how to keep the unit together and pushing to be better.
The way Eluemunor talks about not practicing RT and the way he mentions Ezeudu as a tackle is telling. I know theres debate over if Ezeudu is just practicing tackle but will play guard or if he is a full time tackle. It sounds like they are committed to having Ezeudu be a tackle
