and it scares the crap out of me. Hopefully its just a misunderstanding of the definition of poor communication … i.e. plays not getting into AP or something.

I have just seen the McCoy TD run looking from the end zone.

I hope that the players just got the play wrong rather than it was designed to be like that by Sheridan as he had the LB covering the gap betweenthe CN and LT run outside Osi.

Based on the above conversation I hope TC gives him the game against the Chargers to do a better job, otherwise he should go during the bye week and give the Giants 7 weeks to save the season.

a gang of points…but yet there’s no communication problem?!?!

and according to BS none of it’s mental…it’s all physical. it’s all execution…the players fault basically. if that’s the case than we have some of the worst defensive players in football….and that I will refuse to believe!

We do have Brown and Rouse and D Clark and Bernard so you both might be right!

BS said that we’re not getting gashed at the line and not giving up big plays….

first of all…we are….

second of all…is that a good thing? Should we be jumping for joy that teams are methodically moving the ball down the field on us at will?!?!

Sheridan wants our Corners to re -route the WR’s at the line….while he has them playing zone. Is it even possible for Webster to jam 2 guys at the line simultaneously because all teams are doing now is going with 4 even 5 wide to attack a confused secondary….that according to BS isin’t confused at all.

Sheridan was taking it as a slight against him. The way the questioned was asked…it seemed like the question asked whether he had miscommunication with Tuck and Pierce, which Sheridan was probably right, that’s all.

If they asked if there was miscommunication among the players on certain plays…thats’ a little more specific.

Really…I think this is just one of those quotes that people can spin one way…..as in to make him seem clueless.

He may be, but I don’t think he answer portrays that, its just the way the question is asked.

i’m not calling for BS’s head…nor am i giving up on this season…

but i think it’s pretty obvious that during pre season we were dealing w/ the same issues.

When opposing teams get a lead, BS gets conservative and plays zone trying to prevent the “big play” and sure enough it bites us in the a.ss ever time. we’re now headed into week 9 and it looks like nothing has changed…yes we won 5 games and 4 of them were against horrible horrible teams….that we never had to play from behind.

please BS, change your approach and we will get back on track.

Q. With the Chargers’ propensity to throw deep balls how critical is it to cut down on those big plays this week?


A. I am hoping that they don’t throw the ball down the field at all.

Umm Bill, have you given any team a reason NOT, to go deep?

A. No, no. But, if there is, I would love to hear about it.

that things weren’t bad and none of our speculation matters at the pro level, we’re just “armchair coordinators” and now THIS?
It makes it sound as though there is a poor or even antagonistic relationship between the coordinator and the unit. Whenever you hear the answer “You’d have to ask them,” I’m hearing the answer of one party in a fight. That scares me. These guys have GOT to be on the same page. Cohesion and unity of vision are keys to winning.

what level of suckiness the defense has sunk to (and I’ll wager that the offense has sunk at least as far). When he said “I am not trying to shut the question down…” what he meant to say was “Shut the hell up and ask me something different for once!” Ironically, I think he was trying to do just that. Shut it down.
He knows how bad the defense has played, but apparently he doesn’t want to call anyone out, and whatever answer he has to give, he’ll give it. Even at the risk of sounding semi-retarded.

If those guys do believe there is a communication problem, how come Sheridan doesn’t know about that? It’s Thursday. He should havce known for days already.

And how can he say “I don’t know, you have to ask them.” and then the next sentence is “No. No communication problems thanks.”

If the man can’t see what we can plainly figure out on our television screens, and what Giants defenders are plainly admitting to, that worries me.
If he can’t see the problem, how can he fix the problem?

Two days ago, I put forth a fanpost saying that despite Bill’s request to run the defense from the booth upstairs; Coughlin demanded he be on the sideline like Spags.

If memory serves me right the late, great Jim Johnson of the Eagles called the defense from upstairs??

If you got promoted and are now in charge of the defense BUT you had to run it the same way that your previous boss did… What would you say???"

I just think that if the guy feels he can do a better job from the booth, looking down on the field, then he should get that chance to improve the defense’s play
before “WE” get to fire him !!!
