He struggled all season against the speed rush, needs to work on his technique.
Move him to right tackle..
Flowers was put in a terrible position. He should have started out at RT and then, if he improved his fundamentals, shifted over to the left side. Washington picked Brandon Scherff before Flowers but still played him at guard, which accentuated his strengths and hid his weaknesses.
The worst thing the Giants could've done is put Flowers at a high-pressure position in a high-pressure market before he was ready. Flowers is clearly a major talent at 22 and has plenty of good film to go along with his awful film.

He left a year too early and the Giants reached for him at 10. Most scouts had him as a late first round pick. Now everyone is going to jump in and yell how he had to leave to get that money but they are ignoring where the big money is for NFL LTs. It's not the first contract, even for a top 10 pick. It's the second contract and Flowers might have cost himself tens of millions of dollars by leaving a year too early. No team is going to give him Jason Peters or Lane Johnson money on that second contract. Had he stayed he still would have been a first round pick, but would have been a year older (strength wise and maturity wise) when the time for that second contract comes.

Agreed, players hit their prime at 22. He's maxed out.
A lot of good OLs are not LTs. Seems to be hardest position to find.He's not a LT in the league. Giants need to move him.
Told ya so.
Watching Ereck Flowers in college vs. Taylor Decker, for example, is like night and day in terms of pass set fundamentals. And nothing has changed in the NFL in either case.

That's what happens when Decker started training w LeCharles Bentley at his increasingly famous OL Academy in AZ immediately after going pro and Flowers did whatever he did. Decker had the OSU connection w Bentley as his in. I know Bentley is extremely selective about who he works with, you can read the ESPN article on his academy. I know he trains Giants C Weston Richburg, so maybe Flowers could join, but it depends if Bentley would take him. Doesn't currently train any Canes that I know of.
Some of his other clients include Vikings LG Alex Boone, Lions G Larry Warford, Rams LT Greg Robinson, Bears RG Kyle Long-RT Bobby Massie, now former OSU C Pat Eiflen, Cardinals RT D.J. Humphries, Jaguars G Patrick Omameh, and a few others. Most have improved under him.
