Former Giants 1st-Rounder Ereck Flowers Rips Organization, Execs and Fans

Former New York Giants and current Washington offensive lineman Ereck Flowers didn't have many nice things to say about the organization and its fans after the Giants beat Washington 24-3 on Sunday. 

"Once they get back to losing, the stadium will be back empty," he said, per Darryl Slater of NJ.com. "That's how I feel about them."

He added: "I don't care for Giants fans. They feel about me how I feel about dentists. I don't care for this place much. I would've loved to have come out of here with a W, but it's all good."

Flowers didn't stop there, also saying he didn't "care for" Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. And he had even stronger words for general manager Dave Gettleman. 

"Gettleman? Nah, I don't care to see him," he said. "[Expletive], the world will go into flames before me and him have a conversation."

Flowers, 25, was a first-round pick by the Giants in the 2015 NFL draft, starting 48 games for the team between the 2015-18 seasons before he was released in Oct. 2018. After signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars last season and starting seven games, he signed with Washington this offseason.

He was largely a bust in New York, failing to lock down the left tackle position. The team temporarily experimented with him at right tackle last year after Nate Solder was signed, but that also didn't work out. 

And Flowers is clearly happier in Washington, where is the starting left guard.

"[Expletive], nobody is more happy not to be here than me," he said after Sunday's game. "This has been so much more of an enjoyable experience, man. I'm not looking back at my time there. Being here [with the Giants] for me was just toxic. It was toxic on the field, off the field. It doesn't fit me."

Despite Flowers' animosity, it was the Giants that had the last laugh on Sunday, improving to 2-2 on the season—and 2-0 with Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback—while Washington fell to 0-4.
