The first-team line for Saturday's preseason game in
Indianapolis was Will Beatty at left tackle, Geoff Schwartz at left guard, J.D.
Walton at center,Brandon Mosley at right guard and Justin Pugh at right tackle.
That's what it's been in practice since training camp started, and I think the
Giants' ideal plan would be to feel good enough about that line to run it out
there Week 1 in Detroit.
Now, the fill-in for Beatty earlier in camp was veteran Charles Brown, but he's
got a shoulder injury now and was playing poorly even when healthy. With backup
tackle James Brewer also hurt, the Giants tried something interesting Giants vs Lions Live
Stream Tuesday when Beatty had to come off the field. They moved Pugh from
right tackle to left tackle, kicked Mosley out to right tackle and put rookie
second-round pick Weston Richburg at right guard.
"They're all playing pretty much everywhere," Giants coach Tom
Coughlin said. "You always attempt to be creative and flexible."
The goal is to find the best combination of five and let it play and jell
together. But it seems clear at this point that the Giants don't feel they've
done that yet. They could elevate Richburg, who's played both guard spots and
center this camp, to starting guard in place of Mosley and put him and Schwartz
on either side, really. If they ended up having Giants vs Lions Live
Stream to move Pugh to left tackle, they could play Schwartz at right
tackle, where he has some experience, and keep Mosley and Richburg as the
guards. Richburg could yet overtake Walton at center, which is the position he
played in college.
