Bryan Hudson

And with, I thought, I mean, you could probably tell me the numbers, but I thought it was more power gap concepts than I've seen.

in recent weeks and i'll say this from my evaluation if we're starting on the offensive line i thought it was to me clearly brian hudson's best game as a new york football giant this was the game where i watched and i was like all right now we are getting that upgrade over jms the original two games we had before this i was pretty skeptical that it was an upgrade i will say this mal you know it did have some big reps he also missed some blocks in the run game that i thought limited the giants run game it's not perfect yet with him by any means And I thought Runyon missed a lot of blocks in this game personally.

I think Runyon is limiting this Giants run game, even though it was amazing.

188, 5.3.

he gets eliminated from the play malachi fields and now it's a safety against cam scataboo in the hole and cam scataboo just absolutely annihilates him like the giants are doing a great job designing these runs bro

they really are and that's a great nuance that you pointed out with the pump fake and just the way to hold those defenders um and you know i loved how they used they've been doing it all season but i love how they use malachi fields as an insert blocker this wasn't the best of the reps they used them on a few more and he had a couple one that came comes to mind uh maybe we'll go over it later we really made a big impact as the insert blocker he's a big bodied guy And he's somebody who can be a useful weapon for you at the wide receiver position, not just as a receiver, but as a blocker.

And look at Brian Hudson's just strength on this pop, right? Like he's just, he displayed, you say, yeah, it's a double team, but 93 doesn't know that this is coming.

And Brian Hudson makes that hit and then gets zero and takes him out too.

Right now we know it's still struggling.

Brian Hudson gets his first true test, and John Runyon's been so-so, and then both tackles are banged up.

We don't even know if Jermaine Loomer is actually playing.

And here's something.

So that's what I saw on film.

All right, Giant fans, coming up next, I had an opportunity to sit and chat with Bryan Hudson, the Giant's starting center.

So I will play that interview for you when we return.

Let's start from the middle and work out.

Um, Brian Hudson's the new starting center.

John Harbaugh conceded that he's gonna go with him again this week as the starter, uh, so he is now the new starting center.

Uh, I think he was okay in this game.

It was, like, one of his first snaps, and then from there he played, he played really well.

And this is a huge difference between the Giants now and Giants previous years, that you are on your second string, technically, I should say your second starting center in Brian Hudson, and then you have Jermaine Eluemunor going out, who's been playing pretty good football, a lot of penalties, but still really good football this year.

Yeah.

And Marcus Bell, I'm tell you what, man, like, I told him before week one, I was like, "That, he's gonna get a shot at some point."

So I agree that Cam Scatabo, there wasn't much there to work with, and part of that was commanders have a pretty underrated defensive line, just a lot of big, physical, strong bodies that are really hard to move.

I actually think it's a very hard-ball type defensive line.

But Brian Hudson, I don't wanna talk about his game yet because I haven't really watched that angle to it yet.

Mm-hmm.

He did.

For Brian Hudson, who came into training camp seemingly like a long shot to even make the roster, ended up beating veteran Lucas Patrick, who is now starting for the commanders at center, actually.

Indeed.

But he ended up beating him out for the backup center role, and he filled in really well this past Sunday.

You brought up John Michael Schmitz and Tyler New, but I was actually going to ask you that next.

With John Michael Schmitz, I mean, Brian Hudson played pretty well, all things considered, on Sunday.

And Jason Pinnock, before he had to leave the game with an injury, he wasn't too bad either.

So assuming that Hudson is healthy, which we have no reason to believe he's not, And assuming that Pinnock is good to go, do you make that switch now? I mean, I know Harbaugh, particularly about centers, said, oh, we've got two centers we like.

You know, when you, you know, when you bring him up into the box and things like that, if If John Harbaugh's meritocracy continues to hold, I think Jason Pinnock probably takes that job eventually.

But the center position in my piece looking at storylines for this coming week, which actually runs on Wednesday morning.

I talked about the center position, and I said that in my view, I think Brian Hudson has to start.

And look, it's not because I can sit here and bang the table after Brian Hudson had played in one NFL game and say he's definitively better than John Michael Schmitz.
