In this detailed segment from 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob turn their attention to one of the most crucial and historically problematic positions for the New York Giants: offensive tackle. With 2025 training camp on the horizon, the hosts examine whether the current group of tackles is truly equipped to protect the quarterback and stabilize an offensive line that’s been a revolving door for years. It all starts at the top with Andrew Thomas, the Giants’ All-Pro caliber left tackle whose immense talent is unfortunately matched by recurring injury issues. Rob and Drew dive into the severity of Thomas’ 2024 Lisfranc injury, emphasizing how under-discussed and serious this type of foot injury really is. They point out that this isn't just a simple sprain or fracture—it involves multiple ligaments and bones, and could significantly impact Thomas’ ability to regain full mobility, even if he suits up Week 1.
The discussion then moves to Jermaine Eluemunor, who the Giants brought in as a reliable, versatile veteran. While he’s expected to anchor the right tackle spot, the hosts break down his past performances, highlighting that while he was solid at right tackle, he was only “adequate” at left tackle. The Giants may need to rely on him more than expected if Thomas isn’t fully healthy, especially early in the season. There’s even speculation that Eluemunor could shift inside to guard depending on how the roster shakes out.
A dark horse in the discussion is Marcus Mbow, a 2025 draft pick that the Goofballs believe could be one of the team’s biggest steals. Though ideally suited to play guard, Mbow's flexibility and potential may lead the coaching staff to test him out at tackle, especially given the underwhelming depth elsewhere. Speaking of depth, the segment doesn’t hold back on concerns about James Hudson III and Stone Forsythe, who were brought in on cheap deals but failed to impress in their previous stints with the Browns and Seahawks. Both are being considered as swing tackle options, but Drew and Rob make it clear they don’t inspire much confidence.
And then there’s Joshua Ezeudu, the former guard who was thrust into tackle duties out of necessity in past seasons—a move the hosts strongly criticize as a mismanagement of talent. They argue that forcing Ezeudu to play out of position not only stunted his development but also weakened the overall line play.
The bottom line? If Andrew Thomas isn’t healthy—and recent history says that’s a real possibility—then the Giants are once again dangerously thin at tackle. This leads the hosts to the obvious conclusion that New York still needs to add a true swing tackle, despite their recent signings. The injury history, lack of high-end backups, and shuffling of players into unnatural roles all paint a concerning picture. It’s a must-watch breakdown for fans tracking giants news today, ny giants news and updates, and ongoing giants news and rumors heading into what could be a pivotal 2025 season.
