FIRE SHERIDAN!!!!!!!

NOW...  Just do it!!  Do it NOW!!!  Gotta stop the bleeding - this is getting absolutely RIDICULOUS!!  So embarassing - the once vaunted Giants defense is now a laughingstock...  Just fire him - hell, I'd take Johnny Lynn at this point!!!  What a frickin' JOKE!!!! 

Just FIRE SHERIDAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

You've got the bye week - just can him and start over!  The Giants aren't going anywhere if they keep him as DC - he's obviously not ready for the big time.  What a joke!  Desperate times call for desperate measures...

P.S. While you're at it, put Gilbride on a short leash, too...  First and goal from the 4 - and you have to settle for a frickin' FIELD GOAL to put you up by only six???  Are you friggin' KIDDIN' me??!!!!  How EMBARRASSING!!!!!

Easy on the all caps here

No need to yell at us. Settle down. No one is happy right now.

LOL!

I’ve been waiting for one of these…

Giants aren’t desparate. They played good D for most of the game. Phillip Rivers can torch any defense in the 2 minute (as our boy Eli can).

If the Giants continue to free fall, then OK.

But the team is 5-4.

The Eagles didn’t fire Andy Ried when they were 5-4-1.

Give it a break.

DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giants Defense

Laughing stock? Take a deep breath and think. This Giants defense held the Chargers to 21 points, and played well against a very potent offense. If someone laughs at this defense then I’ll point them to the three straight plays where we hit Charger players behind the line for a loss. That was a good defense. The problem is the play calling. I agree Sheridan made some awful decisions. Dropping Tuck to cover Gates burned us, and his blitz schemes have no variety or logic to them most of the time. But fire him? It took us what, three weeks to bench Brown? Sheridan won’t go this year. If we continue to lose, then maybe, but as is, Sheridan can fix this. He just needs to stop thinking “cerebral” and start thinking pressure. An all out blitz up the middle is not pressure. If Sheridan can learn this, we can be imposing yet again.

this was the problem in the Dallas game too...

they’re just blitzing entirely too many people, and also the wrong people too.

I think the sentiment of this post is correct.

I know this seems a little rash, and this post is a little… angry, but I think that the poster is right. I really don’t think Sheridan gets it.

My impression was that the Giants blitzed on 7 of the 8 plays on that final drive. More importantly, though, the Giants had one responsibility on that final drive: prevent the Chargers from scoring a TD. Once the Chargers got into the fringe red zone (30→goal line), it is utterly imperative to run at LEAST Cover-2, if not Cover-3 or Cover-4, even. Sheridan left the corner isolated on Jackson… it’s just inexplicable and inexcusable.

Watching these games, the impression I get is that Sheridan is just guessing. He doesn’t seem to have an actual plan in place—it’s just a bunch of random blitzes on random downs. It may be hard to predict where they’re coming from (being random), but not hard to counter when it’s so frequent.

The talent is clearly there (and without CC Brown in there, they looked a lot better). But Sheridan.

Other thoughts:

- Boley makes the defense look so much better. For the most part, they had an answer for Gates all night.
- CC Brown really was below replacement level at safety.
- The Chargers dropped quite a few passes, which made the defense look better than it actually played (granting that it played better than previous weeks).

Forgot to finish a sentence...

I meant, “But Sheridan is a liability there.”

And, for the record, I tend to think Gilbride does a pretty decent job,

I couldn't have said it better.

sjohnson125 has taken the words right out of my mouth.

secondary

was really helped by CC not being in there. but it could very well be that boley was hiding any deficiencies that rouse or CC would have displayed anyway. the secondary might be better than we thought and the linebackers the real weakness. we know AP is slow and gets lit up. we know boley instantly upgrades the unit.

what we don’t know is what kind of impact goff and stintam can have full time. i asked rhetorically in the game thread why goff wasn’t playing after that monster hit and freebrad said that because he didn’t know the defense.

i’m not sure i’m ready to believe that boley can come in and learn the defense in an offseason while goff can’t grasp it in 2 years, if he’s that bad he’d have been cut. i think that the coaching staff is predisposed to over valuing “veteran guys” and making the younger guys earn their keep. which is generally a good idea, but when the linebackers are being killed its time to throw stintim and goff in and see what they got.

FIRE SHERIDAN!!!!!!!

Bring back Lewis hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!

I AGREE

I agree with you cntrlalt ; The Giants coaching staff are very stubborn they don’t like playing rookies unless they have no choices;that’s why they don’t use Barden,Beckum and they’re started Hixon instead of Nicks . I think the Giants have been outcoach in a lot of games this year.With all the talent that we have we shouldn’t be this bad . How can you explain for our defense to be worst than last year with the addition of : Umenyora , Boley, Canty , Bernard and Sintim .It has to be the coach .

by nickyb4898 on Nov 9, 2009 1:20 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

nicks

is a perfect example, he’s clearly outplayed hixon and perhaps manningham but doesn’t get the snaps.

i know barden is unpolished, and probably doesn’t know the offense in and out but i’ve got to believe the kid knows how to run a post or fade in the end zone. for those that argue he’s not worth a roster spot of a special teamer for one play, the kid’s a monster…if you give him regular snaps the defense will spread with him. he can have an impact outside the red zone as well.

Well

Beckum made a big mistake on that ball Eli threw in the Eagles game. At least be running hard and break the play up. They don’t always trust rookies in what to do.

i've allowed myself

to be run out of the point of my this conversation, which was the linebackers. these guys were drafted to be the future linebacker corp, and its painfully obvious AP and clark are not getting it done. the college game and pro game have closed that gap in difficulty and we need to see what these valuable mid round picks have.

A mid-season firing won't solve anything

If anything, more confusion from changes with a new coach. Everyone has a different opinion on how they view things and approach it.

by Hootman on Nov 9, 2009 8:58 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

I do not think that Sheridan has done a good job but I think a midseason firing would be a significant mistake.

And I was wrong; apparently it was cover-2 and the safety never got over the top, for whatever reason. But I still think that Sheridan blitzed too much on the final drive.

Back up the truck

It’s over. Ever since Pierce slammed the raiders, a Giants game is like a scrimmage.
