3. Jeff Feagles expects Marshall Newhouse to start at RT in 2016
All the beautiful imagery of Lombardi trophies coming home to New York that Coach McAdoo instilled in all of you with his poetic championship team photo motivational tactic just came crashing back down to earth a little bit after that last headline I’m sure.
Not to fret though, because it does not sound like 2015 Marshall Newhouse will be the same guy as 2016 Marshall Newhouse (hopefully).
“I believe the starter will be Newhouse,” said Feagles after I asked him who he believed would step in at right tackle next season. “He knows people don’t like him, and that’s only motivated him to work harder.”
Now, it is also entirely possible that next season’s starting right tackle has yet to be added to the roster. It’s no secret that training camp can be filled with surprise cuts, one of which may be a viable offensive lineman that the Giants pounce on to plug into their starting lineup.
But if Big Blue does choose to roll into the upcoming season with Newhouse as their starter, fans can rest a little easier knowing he is indeed hard at work, preparing as if the starting job is his to lose.
