The Giants’ final positional question has finally been answered.
Though Brian Daboll wouldn’t name the players, the head coach said before practice on Friday that the Giants have “settled” on their two starting guards.
Mark Glowinski is likely a shoo-in at right guard, and Ben Bredeson is expected to start at left guard over Joshua Ezeudu.
Bredeson has remained atop the depth chart at the spot throughout the preseason and looked like the front-runner during practice this past week.
Glowinski, Bredeson and Ezeudu rotated between the two guard spots and center during training camp.
But after rookie John Michael Schmitz solidified himself as the starting center, it left the three to fight for the two guard spots.
It would be a disappointing development if Ezeudu, whom the Giants selected with the first of their two third-round picks in 2022 in Joe Schoen’s first draft as the team’s general manager, couldn’t beat out either Bredeson or Glowinski for a starting job.
But Ezeudu, who played at North Carolina, is embracing his role nonetheless.
He knows how quickly things can change.
“All it takes is one play,” Ezeudu told The Post after the Giants’ practice Friday afternoon, though he wouldn’t confirm who will be starting.
“Somebody can step wrong, somebody else can fall into somebody’s ankle, knee, all it takes is one play. Always being in tune with everything. Watching film, studying the opponents as hard. All it takes is one play, then the whole offensive line can change.”
Outside of Glowinski, the Giants often rotated their other guards last year.
Bredeson played 47.7 percent of offensive snaps last year, while Ezeudu played 25.6 percent.
Nick Gates also rotated in at guard toward the end of the year, playing more than 50 percent of offensive snaps in each of the last three regular-season games.
This season, the team is seemingly moving in a different direction, with two solidified starters. Daboll suggested there won’t be much of a rotation.
Nevertheless, all the rotating throughout the summer could help in the long run.
“It’s very valuable,” Ezeudu said. “We all feel comfortable at every spot, and we all know the offense. It really helps us and it helps the entire team. If any one of us gets hurt, there’s no drop-off.”
