respect than proving

It’s not hard to figure out why Ereck Flowers isn’t thrilled with the Giants at the moment Derrick Shelby Jersey , even if it doesn’t explain his absence.

The former first-rounder was replaced at left tackle when the team signed Nate Solder in free agency, and Flowers has stayed away from the team’s voluntary workouts since then.

Safety Landon Collins admitted during an interview on WFAN that there was a simple explanation.

“He’s just unhappy that they picked up [Solder],” Collins said, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “That’s it.”

Collins said he texted Flowers but didn’t get a response, but one of his cousins who is close to the former No. 9 overall pick did.

Since Solder’s signing, Flowers has stayed in Maimi to work out. The Giants were hoping he’d compete for the starting right tackle job, and tried to trade him during the draft (Ron Howard voice: “They did not trade him”). They also declined to pick up his fifth-year option this week.

Collins said he hoped Flowers would return soon.

“Definitely Jerry Rice Jersey , I would say he needs to be here, as a teammate and as a captain because we need him here, need to get the line together so they can be on the same page,” Collins said. “We got a quarterback, we got a running back, we got these talented wide receivers, we got to run with this. . . .

“Ereck is my boy. At the same time Mike Remmers Jersey , he has a lot to learn, and at the same time he has to work harder. He came in last year, he thought he did what he needed to do 鈥?he lost weight, he was in proper shape, thought he played good in the first couple of games and just kind of went downhill when the season went downhill.

“After being a first-round draft pick, he don’t want to be called a bust.”

While it’s reasonable for Flowers to have a bruised ego, he could also play this to his own advantage. Since the Giants declined the option on his rookie deal Cameron Erving Jersey , he’s an unrestricted free agent after the season. And with an offense that could make a significant bounce this season, he’s perhaps better served showing up and playing on the right, and then looking for someone who values him next offseason.

Raiders rookie Brandon Parker was ejected from practice for fighting with defensive lineman Fadol Brown at last week’s minicamp. But he won over his offensive teammates.

“Brandon stood up for himself,鈥?left guard Kelechi Osemele said, via Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area. 鈥淭hat was really cool to see. You always want to see that. You worry about a guy鈥檚 toughness. He鈥檚 a tough kid. He鈥檚 been playing well. He鈥檚 really intelligent. Really smart.鈥?/p>

Parker didn’t intend to get in a scuffle, but the North Carolina A&T product wasn’t about to back down either.

鈥淵ou want to show the veterans that you鈥檙e not afraid of anything, and they you鈥檒l go to battle with them like they鈥檒l go to battle with you Y.A. Tittle Jersey ,” Parker said. “It鈥檚 more a matter of gaining respect than proving you鈥檙e the toughest guy out there.鈥?/p>

The Raiders used a third-round pick on Parker after spending a first-rounder on Kolton Miller. They expect the offensive tackles to be the long-term answers at the position.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e smart kids. They listen,鈥?center Rodney Hudson said. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e learning and working and asking questions, which I think is always important for young guys. To ask questions about where they can do better, and both of those guys do that.鈥?/p> Authentic Womens Kerryon Johnson Jersey
