Does it make sense

Phils2008 : 2/23/2026 5:04 pm
Assuming Linderbaum becomes a Giant, to move JMS to either guard position? Still on rookie contract, and now has three years of experience. If JH is inclined to build through the draft great, would a line of Thomas, Runyan, Linderbaum, JMS, Mbow be that bad until that happens? If Runyan goes and JMS slides in there, you should probably pair Mbow with a veteran to relieve some pressure on him. That would come from Runyan cap savings. At 4.3 million, it seems an economical move to keep him here, at least for 2026!

Is typing "IF Linderbaum becomes a Giant, JMS to guard?"

That hard?

Can we please have an award for 'worst thread title of the week'? Or a nickname (in the 'Asshat' vein)? Been getting out of hand lately, and we can't even blame it on them being 03/05'ers!
JMS Is Underpowered As A Center

He'd likely be even worse at guard. JMS is likely a "one trick pony" at center.

The earlier discussion about Mbow to center is more interesting IMHO.

Not to mention he has never played any position but center - at any level.

Pretty soon, every thread will start with simply "Giants". It's like these guys are just trying to get "clicks" with their cryptic or in complete thread titles.

"A Giant question ... film at 11!" or simply a player's name "Nabers" type thread titles are really lazy IMHO.


I most ignore the threads now.

Maybe Eric and Gary can implement an AI/LLC driven thread title scanner and auto delete any thread with an incomplete or insufficiently descriptive title!

"Would a line of Thomas, Runyan, Linderbaum, JMS, Mbow be that bad?"

It would be an unmitigated disaster, and forget running the ball at all.

JMS at OG is not playable.

Mbow cannot be seriously considered as a starting RT at this point.
People will come to realize

Very soon that Harbaugh is going to revamp this offensive line to fit it his liking. Re-signing Eluemunor, who is not above average in the run game, and signing a guard is not fixing this line. it does not scream physical whatsoever. Physicality is line John Harbaugh will want and to benefit the run game Greg Roman will want to run.
As others said, he's way too weak to play OG in the NFL

JMS isnt good as a Center and its his only position

Cut JMS, save the 4.3 million with almost zero dead cap for it

And sign someone with it that can actually give you an advantage at their position like oh say Ravens Pro Bowl Punter Jordan Stout who will get near 4 million

And then cut Jamie Gillan who also isnt very good and free up another 1.2 million of cap space.

Now you have improved 2 positions with really good players instead of manning them with bottom of the league players

Thats how this team will actually start to improve
Don't want Linderbaum.  
section125 : 2/23/2026 6:22 pm : link
He is not worth $18 to $20 mill per. Sorry, he isn't.
I m tired of the "let's see if this will work offensively lines  
Blue21 : 2/23/2026 7:28 pm : link
Can we for once in 12 years get 5 decent lineman that play their position at NFL level ? Is that too much to expect?
On passing downs they could play JMS at center...  
Milton : 2/23/2026 7:36 pm : link
...and on running downs play Linderbaum at center!

JMS is not a mauler he would need to be at guard, he lacks the body type, no.
I don't have a strong opinion  
UberAlias : 2/23/2026 7:58 pm : link
JMS doesn't seem like a great fit for our new offense, but at the same time, is this the wisest choice for our splash investment in FA? Linderbaum would have to be a foundational piece. He may or may not be, but hard to tell since the complete vision for this offense remains to be seen.
There are probably two options where Schmitz is concerned:  
Big Blue Blogger : 2/23/2026 9:26 pm : link
1) He remains the Giants’ starting center;
Or
2) He continues his career at center on another team.

He is worth more as a center than as a projection to guard. Under option 2, maybe NYG can salvage a Day 3 pick or a swap of some kind.
BTW, one potential trading partner is Harbaugh’s brother.  
Big Blue Blogger : 2/23/2026 9:39 pm : link
Bradley Bozeman just retired.
How about Schmitz straight-up for Daiyan Henley?  
Big Blue Blogger : 2/23/2026 9:49 pm : link
Per both Spotrac and PFF, a swap of these 2023 Day 2 picks would be a fair trade as they enter the last year of their rookie deals. Similar
Cap numbers and PFF grades. 😉
JMH to Guard seems highly unlikely  
JerrysKids : 2/23/2026 10:01 pm : link
he's really struggled to make the adjustment to the speed and power of the NFL level competition. Never say never but seems far fetched.
can you guys

lay off with the thread titles??
It is stupid.

Joe strikes again JMS is too small at any OL position. Trade him and Tibbs for a medium pepsi

My other pet peeve are acronyms that I'm allegedly supposed to know and don't. If you're calling Dane Belton "DB," you're fucking me up because he's not acronym worthy, plus we also have Dionte Banks, and they're both DBs... in both initials and football positions.

Please stop it. Just write the word Belton.
