The Giants' Ereck Flowers will remain at left tackle in Week 3

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo said the team is, “absolutely,” sticking with Ereck Flowers at left tackle for Week 3.
The Statement follows an underwhelming outing against the Detroit Lions on Monday night, where Flowers allowed three sacks and ended the game with a PFF game grade of just 47.3. Through two weeks of the 2017 season, Flowers has now allowed six pressures on 78 pass-blocking snaps, and ranks 44th of 71 qualifying tackles with a poor pass block efficiency (the PFF metric that measures pressure allowed on a per snap basis with weighting towards sacks) of 92.9.
The former first-round pick has struggled in pass protection ever since he entered the league, and has now allowed a total of 134 quarterback pressures, the most among tackles since 2015.
If the Giants do decide to move on from Flowers, the team will likely turn to rookie undrafted free-agent Chad Wheeler. Wheeler ended the 2017 preseason ranked 16th of 54 qualifying tackles with a pass-block efficiency of 95.7, and was named to PFF’s Preseason Week 4 – Team of the Week following a balanced performance where he not only performed well on run blocks, but he kept a completely clean slate on 35 pass-blocking snaps.
