If this helps I saw this in team notes:

 

--RT Jammal Brown injured his groin during warm-ups last Sunday and is no sure thing to return to the lineup this week against the New York Giants. "Doing one of my pull drills, I kinda went to pull right and kinda got stuck in the splits," he said. "(It was) something really (flukey)."

 

Brown was impressed by how the revamped line with the inexperienced Tyler Polumbus replacing him and rookie free agent Willie Smith taking most of the work at left tackle helped the offense generate season-highs of 27 points and 463 yards.

 

That helps Brown not rush back if the groin's not right this week.

 

So it sounds like Smith played last week.

Skins homer here. Willie Smith played last week and shared duties with Sean Locklear. Locklear is a vet the Skins picked up from the Seahawks during the offseason, and Locklear got more snaps last week bcs Smith is a rook. But Smith played pretty well, so this week it will be a mishmash of Smith/Locklear at LT for the Skins. Smith is auditioning for a roster spot for next year, so it is logical he will play hard.

 

FWIW, Willie Smith was on everybody's list of "Top Undrafted Players" so it's not like he's a bum. He's got long arms and talent, just a tad underweight for his position.

 

If you're "licking your chops" about starting the Giants D, remember that Osi is OUT and Tuck is questionable. The Giants D is pretty awful in general; however, Grossman is a TO machine at times, so have some second thoughts if you're thinking the Giants will get a lot of sacks. Your best bet is to hope for turnovers from Rexy.

 

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks OCSkins, I appreciate it . What I am hoping for is a good game from Rex.

exactly what I was going to point out. JPP, as good as he's been this season, can't do it alone. I fully expect a less-than-stellar Giants pass rush today. Might affect Helu a bit, if he's called on to block more than run, but Grossman should be under less pressure than usual IMO
