New York Giants notes: Bill Sheridan, master motivator

You know all that stuff we have been saying about New York Giants defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan not knowing how to motivate his troops? Forget it. At least for one week, anyway.
The Giants' embattled defensive coordinator, Bill Sheridan, tore a page from a 1,500-year-old script to try to inspire his beleaguered unit on the eve of the most important game of the season.
"Coach Sheridan read us an excerpt from the speech that Leonidas delivered to the troops before they went out (to battle)," said Giants nose tackle Barry Cofield. "It was eerie how much it applied to our situation and it was very inspirational."
Giants-Cowboys isn't exactly the Battle of Thermopylae, and Tony Romo isn't quite Xerxes, but desperate times calls for inspiration from an ancient Greek source. And if reading excerpts of a speech that King Leonidas delivered to the 300 Spartans under his command before they faced a Persian force of 80,000 is what it takes, then so be it.
"It was inspirational, to say the least," Cofield said. "(Sheridan) always pulls little things out like that but this was the best one ever."
This news, of course, sent me scurrying around the Inter-Google for Leonidas quotes. I have no idea what exact passage Sheridan read, but these are some of my favorites.
- "This is where we fight! This is where they die!"
- "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, that even a god-king can bleed."
- "We Spartans have descended from Hercules himself. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death in the battlefield is the greatest glory he could achieve in his life."
OK, now I'm all pumped up. How about you?
Here are a few other Giants notes making the rounds this morning.
Brandon Jacobs turns game into win for Giants, but calls his leadership 'terrible'
"I think my ability to lead this team has been absolutely terrible. I have to pick myself up as the leader of this football team and take more responsibility on myself," Jacobs said following Big Blue's 31-24 victory over the Cowboys. "Vocally I felt like I wasn't where I was supposed to be, and guys weren't responding to me because I wasn't really trying that hard.
"I came into today's game, into this week, being more of a vocal leader and getting guys up on the offense and the defense ... the first half I did my best to keep our defense and our offense in it even though we were down 10-0. And we all came back."
Osi Umenyiora: 'Extremely painful' to not start in game against Cowboys
"It hurt for a little while," Umenyiora said in his first comments since his benching was publicly announced on Friday. "It was extremely painful, to be honest with you, because I am a man with tremendous pride."
Umenyiora said he is fine with staying in his current role and will do whatever the Giants want him to do. He also credited (ex-Giant Lavar) Arrington, who retired after barely surviving a motorcycle accident in 2007, with lifting his spirits on the morning of the game. "I realized I'm alive, I'm making a great living and I get to still go out there and play football," Umenyiora said. "Whatever they want me to do, I am going to go out there and do. I have no quarrels with anybody. Something obviously needed to be done. They made the change and we won the game. If we keep making changes like that and winning games every week, I'm 100% for it."
Tiki Barber greeted with boos, cheers from crowd at Giants game
"Whatever it is, it's appropriate," Barber said before walking out onto the field. "It's how the fans feel. I have been booed mercilessly in this stadium before. But also cheered heroically. I have appreciated both, because the fans always expected good from me."

Side note
I kind of enjoyed Tiki getting booed, I have yet to forgive him for trying to kick Eli when he was down. Seems like justice that his TV career is headed down the drain and nobody misses his butt at Giants stadium.

his attitude?
No. Tiki was probable a little too smart and outspoken for his own good as a RB, when he played and of course off the field now.
…but you can’t tell me that a back with his skill set would not be great for the Giants right now.

Tiki has a T.O. factor to him
As much as it would be great to have his skills on this team, he seemed to me to be a lockeroom cancer. No doubt he is a very inteligent person, but his arrogance turned a lot of people off.

Agreed,
and considering how dismal his supposedly years-in-the-making and well-thought-out second career seems to be heading, maybe not as intelligent as you might think. He has turned himself into a laughing stock.

You would think
that being in a must-win situation with backs to the wall would be all the motivation required. But apparently not. The Spirit of Sparta grandly relayed by Sheridan saves the day!!!
I still think it was a weird reference?
All 300 Spartans died! How do you win when you motivate your troops to their imminent death?
Hootman thowing cold water on the speach!

Am I the only one..
who thought that 300 was terrible? They talk about all this free men b.s. and in the opening narrative of the movie their throwing slightly imperfect spartan babies off a cliff. What the hell is free about that?
Oh, great win though! Cheers.
you must not know much about History...
That was what they did in Sparta.
That is how they all were warriors and all a that, natural selection.
Cruel and unethical….but that’s kinda the point.
"It ain't over till its over"---
right, but his point is that it's not freedom in any sense of the word
so for them to talk about it is kinda silly. Obviously 300 wasn’t really going for historical realism though, so it didn’t bother me – they were playing up the “freedom” stuff for an American audience who learns in school that democracy was formed in ancient Greece, ignoring that it was Athens, not Sparta, which developed democracy, and neither place gave much of a crap about our idea of “freedom.”

right cj, i'm not talking about actual history i'm talking about 300
which was not based on real events either but the graphic novel by frank miller, so at least twice removed from any real historical accounts.
and FB, how is killing babies natural selection? that’s more like murder then the inability to keep up with the herd.
and i’m pretty sure that the giants locker room knows of leonidas and the spartan army only from the movie as well. good to see you historians out there flexing your knowledge though. interesting stuff.
oh and you don't need to be a football player to relate to leonidis....
as i leave for work, powerpoint presentation in hand, my wife often yells “new yorker, come home with your honor or on your shield.”
It's doubly incorrect
because the reason pure- blood Spartans had such a warrior society was to keep their massive population of slaves called helots under control. They were an exceptionally authoritarian society. But the movie was an epic for action flicks.

"Osi is probably one of our worst db's but he did alright there"
Only a true footballer
would understand. It’s like a fighter who refuses to go down by propiing himself on the ropes, like Lamotta did in his sixth fight with Robinson. Beau Jack did it once as did Benny
Kid Paret.(who paid the ultimate price.)
Ah, but they held the pass.
It was like a goal line stand. The Persian did not get through to desroy the bulk of the Spartan Army. Sheridan’s speech makes a great story. Reminds me of Rockne’s “win it for the Gipper.”
Perhaps i misinterpreted?
Though i googled the battle and skimmed through it, i thought they held the pass long enough so the Spartan army could regroup. And even though the Persian navy was weakened, thru battles or weather, i thought the Persians inevitably won the war, not just because they seemingly were delayed by this single battle?!
That was my basis. You can win the battles, but not the wars!
You've got the facts right.
Still, they held the pass AND the Persians won in the end. The Giants won the battle but the war is ongoing. Let them not be Spartans in that regard.
You are mistaken
The battle was not just 300 Spartans, also another thousand Greeks were involved.
The Persians’ navy was defeated at the battle of Salamis by a coalition Greek fleet, and then the Persian army was defeated at the battles of Plataea and Mycale, a year after Thermopylae, ending the Persian invasion. However, Athens was destroyed shortly after Salamis.
yup
Thermopylae was actually a clear defeat for the Greeks, both tactically (on the battlefield) and strategically (in the long sense). The 3 days delay didn’t really accomplish anything – the Persians still sacked most of northern Greece, and it wasn’t until a year later that the Greeks turned back the invasion.
The reason it’s so famous though is the Spartan rear guard, who fought to the last man on the 3rd day while the rest of the Greek forces withdrew. It wasn’t so much about the real world impact of the battle as it was about the heroism of those who died in a losing cause, fighting for perceived freedoms. In a way, it’s kind of analogous to the “lost cause” movement after the Civil War, glorifying the “noble” Confederacy and attributing their loss to the overwhelming numbers of the Union.

Tiki may possess a high dick quotient, but --
— he’s the best RB we ever had. A rarity. A RB who got better at the age most decline.
"high dick quotient"
is the phrase of the day.

Tiki doesn't exist to me anymore.
Frankly, I’m so glad that scumbag didn’t win a Superbowl it’s not even funny. He must have been so pissed to see Eli get a ring.
Wining the SB with Tiki as a sideline reporter was priceless
Tiki had a great Giant career; he will never be considered a Great Giant
by Late for Dinner on Dec 7, 2009 11:46 AM EST up reply actions
I consider Tiki a Great Giant.
He holds half of our offensive records, after all. Let’s also not forget that 200 yard effort when he personnaly dragged us into the playoffs in 06.
I think his comments were out of bounds, definitely, but geez, could we give it a rest at this point? Eli answered him, and we won the SB without him. I think those people who want to hang Tiki on a cross need to move on and get a life, seriously.
"We were very much aware of that. There was a lot of phone call-type things going on in the room." -- Tom Coughlin
Agreed for most part
we just need to move on from this Tiki bashing … he was a great Giant and he knows he made a mistake. Let’s forgive and forget.
My last Tiki post
I understand your perspective MM however I think Tiki has burned some bridges with the fans & teamates in his hurry to become a TV star that is going to take a lot of time to heal. As great as Tiki’s 2006 season was on the field it was that bad off of it. He threw teamates and his coaches under the bus constantly. Than tried to launch his media career by jumping ugly with Eli and let’s face it he looked like such a small person doing that.

Yeah, you have a point there Mr. Met. I never initiate trashing him, but often pile on. But wait, pot, why do you think he knows he made a mistake?

Being overjoyed with yesterdays win --
I will refrain from pointing out flaws, and spraying a mist of pessimism over this happy day.
thank you.
cuz we won…and those flaws simply don’t matter as long as you make big plays (even while bending and not breaking on defense).

Lol, you call your pessimism a mist?
It’s more like a water cannon they use against rioters. Poke! lol
Okay, who copped Z's handle?
Actually, your optimism (or lack of pessism?) lends bouyancy to mine.
Overrated
Motivation has its place. Good for close or tight situations. But it and “attitude” are overrated, especially in the NFL.
BS deserves more credit for playing calling; that not “motivation” was what helped to win game. Concentrate on fixing problems (which always exist) and being prepared against Eagles. Have motivation ready to go, but leave idea of it as game-turner to teams like the Jets.
You go and replay the Denver game
and replay this game, and tell me motivation doesn’t turn games.
When you play like your out of it…your out of it.
When you play like you want to win it…you can.
Is it the sole reason for success today? Obviously not.
But it sure as hell tipped the scales.
"It ain't over till its over"---
by FreeBradshaw on Dec 7, 2009 11:51 AM EST up reply actions
It does
Motivation does have it’s place. If used sparingly it can be a powerful tool. If overused then the players know it’s fake.
Sheridan
I think one thing we can point to is authority and respect. Just like the departures of Tiki and Shockey allowed Eli to take the reins of this team, I think Sheridan has made a move to take control of this defense with the departure of Pierce and then by asserting himself in the benching of Osi. The guy certainly needs to command this defense, he hasn’t as I’ve seen for some time. Hopefully this will build some repect and get things cohexive. Because next week is another 60-minute season.
You play to win the game!
I loved..........
This is where we fight! This is where they die!
WOW
I loved BJ’s honesty. It shows a lot of character to take a long look in the mirror and criticize one self.
THIS. IS. EAST RUTHERFORD!
Today looks a lot better than last Monday, don’t it?
I left my swagger in my other pants.
Wiki Barber
he is a moron – cannot stand him, never could.
I booed the hell out of him yesterday and will continue to do so.
When they show the top 5 rushing moments in Giants history, I wait patiently for Barber so I can continue to boo him.
I have gone as far as yelling at fans who still wear 21 with Barber on the back…my cousin told me if it’s a kid I have to yell at their parents ha

..especially for our inability to cover the middle this season, regradless of personnel package in the game is. Nothing he has come up with yep has been able to heal this gaping wound in the middle of defense.

will we have the same level of intensity next week or have a let down?
Philly seemed to have the all the answers in the first meeting….idk. I’m pretty nervous. as happy as i am right now, i’m just as concerned.

We'll see on Sunday...
The Giants played balls out in the only way left for them — go for the big play (see all the attempted stripping of the ball?) Game plan, or adapting to situation? Doesn’t matter. Worked. Will it work against Philly/ Different, tougher team. But I think it’s what the Giants have at their disposal. They have to play with unbridled passion, overcoming their many deficiencies with balls to wall wham bam thank you mam slap up the side of the head lars ulrich double kick in yo face feel tha thundah wipe yo ass FOOTBALL. They do that, we got something…
Get pumped for Iagles
We owe them one big time, the knocked us out of the playoffs and blew our doors off early this season. The only thing we got going is this is one of our biggest rivals and another NFC East game at home. If this team can’t get pumped up for Philly than I don’t know what will make them show up.
Playing philly is a good thing!

Maybe
Sheridan will do a Remember the Alamo monologue, inspiring the Giants to repel the Eagle and send him back to his nasty nest.
And here I thought
it would be an Admiral Farragut monologue.
I like Thomas Paine
I’ve used it a few times here already, so I can’t reuse it.
How about Churchill? We shall fight in the swamps, we will fight in DC, we will fight in the tundra, we will fight in the superdome, and we will fight in MIAMI until the lombardi trophy is back where it belongs.

"Osi is probably one of our worst db's but he did alright there"
I have no problem with tiki…I mean after talkin all that shit on tv and having it all thrown back in his face, along with never getting a ring and barely being on tv now…its hard not to like tiki :)
good point...
i think Tiki knows that how he left was wrong…and i think the football gods made him pay for it.
I could only image what he was thinking as he watched the giants march to a super bowl victory….that must have been a big time reality check.
as much as he tries to play it off, he knows that he screwed up…i think he tries to act like it doesn’t bother him but how can it not?
getting booed by your own fans when your the franchise’s leading rusher!?!?! say what you want but that has got to burn.
In a way i feel bad for tiki….but i think his arrogance is what really killed him. He tried to trash us on his way out in order to make a name for himself in the broadcasting world….well Tiki…mission accomplished. Are you happy? Was it really worth it?
"If you don't know what you're doing... just rush the quarterback" - LT
You feel sorry for him because he got what wqs coming to him?
You’ve got a big heart, andiamo. I can understand laying off of him under the general principle that you shoudn’t kick a man when he’s down, but I don’t feel sorry for a poleaxing for failur to remember that what goes around comes around.
I guess i feel sorry for him because
at the end of the day I don’t think he wanted to alienate his former team… but jump start his broadcasting career.
the problem was that he did it at our expense.
some of the things he said shoulda stayed in house….but they didn’t.
I think he knows that he messed up….i don’t think he’d admit it, but given the chance he would NOT do it all over again.
bottom line he’s one of the best Running Backs in the history of this organization and an all time great Giant. Part of me will always value what Tiki did while he was here…the same way part of me will always remember how he left…..
"If you don't know what you're doing... just rush the quarterback" - LT
Right on Andia..He let his team down..
Infact he and Shockey tried to run the huddle….Now he’s"Mr. nowhere’s Man"..and Shockey is still the same’ol idiot..
I agree
I don’t like what he said once he left the Giants and love the fact it bit him in the cornhole in the worst way possible.
…..But when the man played…..saying he’s the best RB in the Giants history, by far, is not selling him short.
He was a great RB. I doubt that if he kept quiet and kept playing…that the Giants don’t do what they did in that SB run anyway. COuld’ve used a consistent RB like that.
"It ain't over till its over"---
He was a great RB.
He was also locker room poison his last few years. You can’t win with guys like that and I think that’s what you’re saying.
I'll pimp it to my grave

Tiki retiring and Sharky getting traded..
Was all Eli needed to get us a championship, along with Strahan deciding to stay…Inever missed either one of them.
Don't get me started on Shockey
The guy runs himself out of town cause the giants only had light beer in the box at the super bowl. I thought he was about winning but it became obvious he only cares about his stats.
I’ll bet Eli don’t miss Shockey throwing his hands in the air after Shockey runs the wrong route.

It was a hard lesson, but
it looks like Shock gets it in NO.
In training camp
didn’t Brees intentionally throw the ball 10-15 yards over Shockey head sending Shockey a message? I vaguely remember a story about that. It might have been last season.
I saw the sideline spat last season
Brees grabed shockey by the face mask and screamed at him and shockey was quiet. Like blue said I think Shockey get’s it now because he is never in the headlines and seems fine just being another cog in the Saint’s vast array of weapons.

Yep you saw the same thing I did Late..
Brees fed him some serious beans and let him no who was in charge..but he is still an idiot and doesn’t fit with the Giants..I dislike that guy..ever since he threw ice into that little boys face.
Absolutely right..both those guys had talent but they are poison..
Tiki..where are you now?..Let me give you a hint ‘nowhere’.
Good attitude shown by Osi
I’m glad the he realizes that it’s team first. Maybe coming off the bench is the way to keep him fired up.
Osi got the same messsage the other guys did..
Play ball hard or see ya..
Osi
I read somewhere that Lavar Arrington called him and the talk got Osi’s head out of his arse and back into the game.

Funny that’s what my wife tells me after the Giants loose and I am cursing under my breath. I have no defense it’s sports; Look I used to be a huge Tiki Barber fan, but the guy dumps on the orgainztion I love and tries to tell Giant Mgmt they know nothing about winning (got that out of his book) when he has won squat.
I don’t wish him any ill will personally I understand why he retired when he did. But to me there are guys that play for your team i.e. Tiki and than there are guys who embody your organization i.e. LT, Phil Simms, Harry Carson, Strahan, Amani. I will always appreciate what Tiki did for the team but he will never go down as an all time giant in my book.
by Late for Dinner on Dec 7, 2009 5:05 PM EST up reply actions
Fair enough
I can see the distinction between great players and great people. I guess I could argue with you about whether LT has “embodied the organization” better than Tiki, all things considered, but I won’t. I love LT too, despite his many and varied personal failures.
"We were very much aware of that. There was a lot of phone call-type things going on in the room." -- Tom Coughlin
doing coke, getting arrested, and sending prostitutes to opponents rooms >>>>>>>>>>> saying mean things about your quarterback
I’m only half-joking. I’ve more or less forgiven Tiki, and I will always remember him as an amazing running back and maybe the best all-around offensive player in Giants history. On the other hand, I’m never really gonna like the guy as much as I did when he was playing, and I won’t be upset at all if his TV career fails.

Well this is New York Giants football..not baseball I see no..
Reason to be knocking a fan who roots for the Mets..We need to whip the Eagles this week..
Sorry about that late but the Mets got hit with really bad injuries..They could have and should have gone far
I am a Yankees fan, but I have no issues with the Mets..They still play in N.Y. Right?
You threaten my people with golf in January?
Giants! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight we dine in hell!
Or Philly. Which is close enough.
