John Michael Schmitz was the Giants’ HIGHEST graded pass-protector in Week 11.JMS didn’t give up a single pressure. In fact, he’s given up only 2 pressures in last 5 games.MASSIVE growth is happening there.

  4. Need at least one player to be good from that horrendous 2023 draft. Really hope he can continue this into next year

  5. u/Lars5621 you wanted to know why JMS is starting over the backup. Maybe Bricillo knows what hes doing.

  6. This fact gives me massive growth. Hope the larger fanbase notices and is fine with us not drafting another center

  8. This is great news. It took AT 2 1/2 years to be good. I guess JMS needs that amount of time to be good too.

  9. I was down on JMS going into the season, but if he’s developing and only the guard positions need to be focused on next season would be huge. Wish Ezeudu could get some playing time to see if he was truly developing. Then if they could keep Eluemunor and have Mbow slide in at G and be a solid starter. I’m not sure if Eluemunor would agree to move inside so that Mbow could stay at RT. Either way, things might not be as dire as I feared going into the offseason.

  10. As far as repeated topics go, Bricillo praise and the emphasis on retaining him is always welcome. We finally have a good OL. It will be imperative to retain Bricillo, Elumenor, and improve on depth/upgrade on G.

    JMS has proven a doubter like me wrong. It is also why I continue to be annoyed Neal is here(cause Ezeudu is on the IR wasting away. Maybe he is a solid guard backup under Bricillo? We’ll never know now cause Schoen is hanging on to his busts like a fool).

  13. Woah, don’t tell Lars. He’ll short-circuit having to appreciate the play of a Schoen pick.

  20. JMS has been passing the eye test for me anyway this season and has developed into a solid enough center. I’ll take it considering what he looked like the last couple of seasons.

    The next regime has to keep Bricillo somehow.

  21. Who would believe that the giants offensive line would be the bright spot in this miserable year.

  22. Lol, there was just another post where half this subreddit was bashing JMS and saying they should play Schlottman instead. No knock on Schlottman, BTW.

    Unfortunately we only have JMS under contract for one more season after this year.

  23. I absolutely loved this pick at the time, it would go a long way to have center locked up for the next decade.

  24. Funny what happens when the coaches spend their time trying to improve the players instead of spending it coming up with more complicated schemes.

  27. By the time the O line full potential is reached, they will be at the end of their contract.

  33. I’m happy but on the huge Tracey screen he got blown up and Tracey made a play. Nitpicking but it would have been a 2 yard loss and a punt instead of the touchdown.

  34. I have gotten angry at JMS, as have many of you I’m sure. But he sure as shit ain’t the problem now. Feels weird to say the Giants o-line is a bright side when usually that’s the main thing holding us back.

  35. I agree. there’s been massive improvement on the front line this year. That would be one thing management has gotten better with. I mean how many years during DannyDimes/Saquon years did we all bitch about the O-Line? I know I did….

  37. There were multipleninstances yesterday were I said “What a pocket!!” Out loud. I dont think ive ever said such a thing whole watching this team
