In depth

Images place us in time, gluing unremarkable and historically urgent moments in a fixed setting or context, but mostly they thrill our senses in other varied ways. They challenge us with questions and ferry nostalgia. Images set our faces electric at the sight of something truly wonderful. The primary function of a photograph is not measurement, but there are those that suggest it all the same. Those images, thornier in intent and unwedded to a single place, become a kind of cloverleaf—of circumstances, of timelines and beliefs, of people. … [Read more...] about Depth of Field: George Floyd and the Illusion of Progress

The play of the offensive line will prove consequential for the Giants in 2020 after the team used two of their first three draft picks on offensive tackles and a later pick on an offensive guard (who could end up converting to center). No. 4 overall pick Andrew Thomas will be an immediate starter (he's the most NFL-ready tackle in the class), but the better question is where. The assumption is he'll start his NFL career like he started his collegiate career (at right tackle). However, if incumbent left tackle Nate Solder shows no improvement from his devastatingly poor play (a good portion of Jones' late-season fumbles were on Solder), then it's possible Thomas starts on the left side and Fleming at right tackle. … [Read more...] about Giants depth chart 2020: New York’s projected Week 1 starters heading into OTAs, training camp

The primary reason for excitement is found on the offensive line. The biggest weaknesses -- left and right tackle -- were upgraded in grand fashion. Jedrick Wills was drafted No. 10 overall to start on the left side despite spending his high school and collegiate careers on the opposite side. Cleveland also stretched the free agent market when they signed veteran Jack Conklin to occupy the right tackle spot. Those elite talents should fit nicely alongside Joel Bitonio and J.C. Tretter. Wyatt Teller likely has a small advantage at the right guard spot but competition is likely to ensue.  … [Read more...] about Browns depth chart 2020: Cleveland’s projected Week 1 starters heading into OTAs, training camp
