4 NY Giants who were a total disappointment during the regular season
3. OG Mark Glowinski
Following three tumultuous seasons with Will Hernandez manning the guard positions, it was nice to finally see a change after Schoen signed former Colts guard Mark Glowinski to a three-year, $18 million deal in the offseason.
In his first campaign with the Giants, Glowinski has been rather disappointing. Yes, he has had some moments of excellence, but for the most part Glowinski has needed to be better. Through 16 games, Glowinski has allowed five sacks and 34 pressures in 16 games, garnering a pass blocking grade of 55.5. This has easily been Glowinski’s weak spot all season. Not only do his five sacks rank fourth amongst guards, but just watching him play in pass protection is rather rough.
When the Giants signed Glowinski, it seemed as if they would be getting a very solid offensive guard to man the position over the next couple of seasons. While we all knew he wasn’t anything spectacular, he has been much worse than last season.
Glowinski is slated to have a cap hit of more than $7 million over the next two seasons, so if he wants to be worth that money, he must improve. Things could be worse, and have been worse over the last five years, but for what he is getting paid, there are no doubts Glowinski needs to be better.
