Anal nitpick alert: Would it hurt the OP to properly capitalize thread titles? We're starting to look like a low-rent 4chan up in here. ;)

On topic: Fluker's not that good in pass protection. Not sure about this.

This team needs a mauling Guard. Enough of this "Athletic Lineman" cap. Let's get a big boy in there that will move people in the running game etc. He just turned 27 two days ago. Get it done.

Doesn't sound like what we are looking for to me???

The Chargers' brass liked the energy, enthusiasm and toughness Fluker displayed on game days. However, Fluker struggled at times with speed rushers in pass protection.

Fluker is not a lock for the Giants' starting lineup, as he was ranked 54th out of 72 qualifying guards in Pro Football Focus' rankings this season, with a 63.7 grade. His 46.0 run-blocking grade was among the 11th-lowest among guards.

Nah, better O Line coach now, he'll be fine.

Better coach? Solari actually was his coach in NY I believe.

As I understand he's shocking in pass protection and average at best in run blocking.

Is shocking good or bad? :?:

Sign all the o-linemen they can find. Even the ones that haven't played in years and are currently driving beer trucks. Let them battle it out in training camp then keep whoever is left standing.

That's not what they are talking about on 710. Sounds like he's good in run blocking, not so much in pass blocking. Can't be any worse than the swiss cheese they have had in front of Russ.

Personally hope they bring in Justin Pugh.

That was my first choice....but injury history there is a minus so I've cooled on him.

I had very briefly tried to look for OL who played for him and were decent free agents specifically because that's usually the way it works. Wouldn't be surprised if this happens. I didn't consider Fluker, but....probably.

If we truly are going back to "Pete Carroll" football, than run blocking will be emphasized over pass blocking.

The philosophy being that if you can run well, you get that extra half-step in the passing game from play action. The inability to run over the last couple of years kind of scotched that, as nobody respected our run game enough to make it happen.

Under that idea, sounds like Fluker would fit right in.

I saw a report that his medicals checked out clean. I would at least bring him in and let our doctors make a decision for themselves. He doesn't seem to be drawing much interest yet, so perhaps we could get a good value deal!

I'm good with that as long as those aren't the same doctors that checked out Harvin . ;)
