“#Giants’ feisty offensive line needs to take next step<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Giants offensive line showed toughness.<\/p>\n

Improvement is what\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n

Playing as the underdog in a matchup billed as a first-round knockout for the Rams defensive line, the offensive line allowed five sacks (a sixth was negated by penalty) and was flagged for three false start penalties Sunday in a 17-9 loss to the Rams.<\/p>\n

Ugly numbers no matter how much credit unproven center Nick Gates gets for standing up to All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald. After Donald got in Gates\u2019 face to talk trash, Gates shoved his hand in Donald\u2019s face, they slapp<\/a>ed each other and needed to be separated as offsetting penalties were called for unnecessary roughness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got into it,\u201d Gates said. \u201cHe\u2019s a good player, I\u2019m a good player. Emotions get high out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants outgained the Rams (295-240) and held a seven-minute edge in time of possession \u2014 usually signs an offensive line is winning the battle. That would be misleading, however, because the Rams had four sacks on the Giants\u2019 first four possessions, three of which ended in fourth-and-19 punts. The Giants haven\u2019t scored a touchdown in two game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw an improved unit this week,\u201d Giants coach Joe Judge said. \u201cYou play a team like the Rams with an outstanding pass rush, you just can\u2019t lose your mind when they make plays. You have to keep pushing forward and be productive. That said, we have to eliminate some of the easy plays we made for them early in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the Giants\u2019 67 net offensive yards in the first half, 56 came before a field goal in the two-minute drill, with the Giants playing two rookie offensive tackles. Third-round pick Matt Peart temporarily replaced Cam Fleming as part of a pregame plan. Fleming played the second half.<\/p>\n

The rushing attack showed signs of life in the second half, with a season-high 136 yards led by 45 yards apiece from Daniel Jones and Wayne Gallman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it came down the stretch, I thought they held up for the most part against a very stout rush,\u201d Judge said. \u201cObviously not enough to take some of the production off the line that the Rams had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donald didn\u2019t wreck the game, but the Giants are not worthy of general<\/a> manager Dave Gettleman\u2019s preseason assessment that the offensive line is the \u201cclosest we\u2019ve been\u201d to a solution in three years on the job.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a plan for Donald, and I think we executed the plan,\u201d Gates said. \u201cWe\u2019ve just got to be better. I think we tried to get two guys on him as much as we can. We gave up what, four, five sacks? That can\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The front line doesn\u2019t deserve all the blame. Others are exacerbating the issue.<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 internal clock continues to be set wrong, as he holds onto the ball too long in the pocket. He was strip<\/a>ped on a sack but recovered the fumble.<\/p>\n

Receivers continue to struggle to gain separation \u2014 an area where the injured Sterling Shepard is missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is never one person who is responsible for everything,\u201d Judge said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
