Giants’ Brian Daboll: Battle at guard has been settled

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll says the guard battles have been settled but refuses to reveal the winners until Sunday night.

The New York Giants offensive line is one on the rise with an All-Pro left tackle in Andrew Thomas, another up-and-coming one on the right side in Evan Neal, and a promising center in John-Michael Schmitz.

What has Giants fans concerned are the two guard positions. Right guard is spoken for by veteran Mark Glowinski, but he had a rollercoaster of a year in 2022, struggling at times in pass protection.

This summer, the Giants had a rotation at left guard with Ben Bredeson, Joshua Ezuedu, and others such as Shane Lemieux.

On Friday, head coach Brian Daboll said the position has been ‘settled.’

When asked to elaborate on the decision, Daboll would not disclose any details.

“We’ll just get out there and be ready to play and the guys that will be out there will be ready to go,” he told reporters.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see the revolving door still in effect the entire season. Bredeson has been starting in practices and in the preseason but the others have gotten plenty of reps, too. At one point, the Giants had Glowinski playing out of position.

I guess we’ll find out like the rest of the world come Sunday night who the guards will be.
