OG Kevin Zeitler – DUD

Fifth-round rookie Shane Lemieux has replaced Will Hernandez in the starting lineup, but the Giants might have inserted the Oregon product at the wrong guard spot.

Kevin Zeitler was a revolving door against the Cardinals.

Zeitler allowed several pressures and at least two sacks, including one to Markus Golden that pinned the Giants’ offense back inside its own five-yard line with just under 7:00 remaining.

The longest-tenured starter along the Giants’ offensive line, Zeitler was supposed to provide veteran stability, but he has dramatically regressed this season and never was that more evident than throughout Sunday’s game.
