"The Giants' shaky left-tackle situation was exacerbated by James Hudson's epic meltdown on Sunday in Dallas against the Cowboys. One drive, one sack allowed, four penalties, including two 15-yard personal fouls, and a benching which led to an explosive sideline rant. It forced head coach Brian Daboll to turn to rookie Marcus Mbow, a natural right tackle, who held his own just enough to keep the offensive line secure enough for Russell Wilson's big afternoon."
"He gave up two pressures and no sacks in 37 pass-blocking snaps. The Giants have been forced to address the left-tackle situation with duct tape and super glue with Andrew Thomas still unable to go as he completes the recovery from the lisfranc injury in his foot. There is no word yet on if he'll be able to go for Week 3 in New York's home opener against the Kansas City Chiefs,"
"Hudson's drive and outburst could very well be grounds for a release or a cut, though it likely would have already happened if that was a first choice. The Giants simply don't have the depth to cut him, nor does Daboll have the runway to futz around with his offensive line when his team is already 0-2 and this being his last chance to save his job."
James Hudson III's meltdown in Dallas included one sack allowed, four penalties (two 15-yard personal fouls), a benching, and a sideline rant. His behavior forced coach Brian Daboll to insert rookie Marcus Mbow at left tackle; Mbow allowed two pressures and no sacks in 37 pass-blocking snaps. With Andrew Thomas recovering from a lisfranc foot injury, the Giants lack healthy depth at left tackle and face uncertainty for Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Hudson's actions raise questions about possible release or further punishment, and the team cannot afford a disruptive liability while 0-2 and Daboll's job is precarious.
