Cooper-USA TODAY SportsThe obvious hole in the New York Giants’ offseason to date is that they have yet to make an aggressive move to upgrade the right tackle spot, where Ereck Flowers played himself out of town and Chad Wheeler graded as one of the league’s worst players at the position.Scott Wright of Draft Countdown brought that up this week on the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast. Matt Williamson hit on that point in assessing the Giants’ draft class. Yours truly also touched on it in reviewing the draft.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that’s one area the Giants would like to address, but have as of yet been unable to find a match. It’s just not possible to sign or draft everybody that you would like to have.Let’s take a step back and assess what has happened that left the Giants so far unable to fill that hole, and what they can still do about it.The draftThe biggest reality when it comes to right tackle is that the Giants’ first-round decisions made it virtually impossible for them to land a plug and play right tackle on the first two days of the draft.Andre Dillard (22nd, Philadelphia Eagles) and Tytus Howard (23rd, Houston Texans) were there when the Giants took defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence at No. 17. Had the Giants not taken Lawrence there, perhaps edge Montez Sweat (26th, Washington Redskins) was still more likely.Trading up to get Deandre Baker 30th overall cost the Giants their 37th overall pick, a fourth-round pick (132nd) and a fifth-round pick (142nd). For a minute, let’s consider right tackle candidates at those spots, and at 95 (where the Giants selected edge rusher Oshane Ximines) and 109 (cornerback Julian Love).The Giants could have traded up to No. 30 for Kaleb McGary or Jawaan Taylor, but made the move for the player they thought was the draft’s best cornerback. On a defense where man coverage skills are critical that’s hard to argue with.At 37, the Carolina Panthers (who got the pick from Seattle) took offensive tackle Greg Little.Maybe the Giants would have taken Little. Maybe not. At 95, they left offensive tackles Bobby Evans and Yodny Cajuste on the board to take Ximines. Considering that many wonder if they did enough to directly help their pass rush, hard to fault them taking one of the last true pass rushers available at that point.At 108 Youth Phil Simms Jerseys , the Giants took Love, who GM Dave Gettleman said was “sticking out like a sore thumb” on the team’s board.At that point, Gettleman said he felt like the “value was pretty much wiped out” at offensive tackle.Want evidence of that? Cajuste was taken with the 101st pick by the New England Patriots. The next offensive tackle off the board was David Edwards of Wisconsin 68 picks later. He went 169th to the Los Angeles Rams, two picks before the Giants took wide receiver Darius Slayton. Sure, the Giants could have traded up. But, they chose not to. They chose a wide receiver with 4.3 speed Gettleman said can “flat fly.” The GM compared Slayton to DeSean Jackson and Ted Ginn, saying he can “take the top off the coverage.”In the end, they made a choice. They valued Baker and defense, with the picks they surrendered pretty much taking them out of the tackle market.George Asafo-Adjei of Kentucky, taken in Round 7, is probably a developmental player and not one the Giants would want to rely on as a full-time starter in 2019.So, what’s the answer?We have talked about this before, but that is probably going to be signing veteran Mike Remmers as a stop-gap solution next to Kevin Zeitler.Remmers, formerly with the Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings, is familiar to Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur. He visited with the Giants early in free agency, and Gettleman acknowledged the team is still monitoring him.“Well, he’s still rehabbing [from back surgery], and we’re continuing to talk with him Phil Simms Jerseys Stitched , so we’ll see,” Gettleman said. “Going to bring him in and take another look eventually.”The Giants may wait to sign Remmers until he can pass a physical. If it isn’t Remmers, you have to believe the Giants will continue to monitor rosters around the league all the way up to Week 1 of the season to see who becomes available. ESPN analytics show Giants may have had proper offseason focus" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBig Blue Viewa New York Giants communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsLibraryGiantsOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 17Filed under:New York Giants NewsPass blocking/pass rush data could be good news for GiantsNew,229commentsESPN analytics show Giants may have had proper offseason focusEDTShareTweetShareSharePass blocking/pass rush data could be good news for GiantsNate SolderJim Dedmon-USA TODAY SportsESPN’s Next Gen Stats has, for the past year or so, been producing data on what it calls pass blocking and pass rushing “win rate.” ESPN recently released what I believe is its most in-depth information on the findings from those numbers to date, and there is positive newsfor the New York Giants in the results.ESPN’s post is headlined “Pass blocking matters more than pass rushing, and we can prove it.”The hard data shows that the Giants were 27th in the NFL last season with a pass block win rate of only 43 percent. That means that 57 percent of the time a pass rusher defeated his block in less than 2.5 seconds. ESPN says it uses that number simply because, from the snap, it equates roughly to how long it takes NFL quarterbacks to throw the ball.In terms of pass rush win rate the Giants fared surprisingly well. The Giants were 18th in the league with a 50 percent pass rush win rate. This corresponds with research from Dan Pizzuta showing the Giants, per Sports Info Solutions, were ninth in the league in pressure rate at 32.14 percent. The fact that they were second-last in the league with 30 sacks means simply that they didn’t turn enough pressures into sacks.Why could this data be good news for the Giants?Because of what they accomplished in the offseason.Pass blockingWe know that Eli Manning was under siege in 2018, especially the first half of the season. He was sacked a career-most 47 times. That amounted to Manning being taken down on 7.5 percent of his pass attempts, also easily a career-worst.As Geoff Schwartz recently reminded us, the data tells us that “passing the ball is more important than rushing the ball” and that “passing efficiency is the most important stat that correlates to winning a game.”ESPN’s Seth Walder says:Walder also points out that “Three of the four conference finalists in 2018 finished the regular season ranked in the top four in pass block win rate.”Back to the Giants.The left side of the Giants’ line, Nate Solder and Will Hernandez, surrendered 12 sacks last season. Only one (Solder) came in the second half of the season Youth Doug Kotar Jerseys , though, as the veteran and rookie got used to each other. That improvement should continue.Jon Halapio is back and will be the center if he’s healthy. Matt Williamson tells us in his film study that Halapio does his best work in pass protection. In his two-game 2018 sample, Halapio graded far better in pass protection per Pro Football Focus (87.5) than run blocking (69.4) and did not allow a single pressure.New right guard Kevin Zeitler allowed three sacks last season while, per PFF, compiling the league’s highest pass blocking efficiency rate among guards at 98.9.Right tackle Chad Wheeler allowed five sacks and 43 pressures in 534 pass blocking snaps. His 95.3 pass blocking efficiency rating was 53rd of 58 qualifying tackles.Remmers, playing his weaker position of guard, gave up seven sacks and 42 pressures in 705 pass blocking snaps. His pass blocking efficiency score was 96.3. In 2017, Remmers played 337 pass blocking snaps at right tackle, did not allow a sack and had a pass blocking efficiency score of 97.0.In other words, the Giants should be improved across the entire offensive line in pass blocking.Pass rushingThe Giants are gambling on the potential of Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines, a return to form by Markus Golden, and hopeful improvements in the secondary to help them create enough pass rush.What if the Giants don’t get the production they are hoping for from these guys, or the push they are hoping for from defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence, B.J. Hill and Dalvin Tomlinson?ESPN’s research says simply that inability to rush the passer is less important than inability to block for one.So, if we accept ESPN’s data and Pizzuta’s assertion that the secondary was a bigger problem for the Giants than the pass rush in 2018, this data is all good news for New York.Of course, whether or not you accept these findings as correct is entirely up to you.
