The Sun Is Shining Again, Giants Fans

Way too high. Lions are potent on offense and play a little defense too (did anyone see the SICK play Suh made on that interception??) – the Lions are officially “frisky”

I’d be curious later on this week to see our players PFF ratings. I imagine they have to be pretty decent across the board.

Carl Banks said on the WFAN this morning that he was impressed with Sintim’s play yesterday – and that he’s been very critical in the past but that Clint was effective on special teams yesterday and that the play of “starters” and guys like Clint S and JPP on special teams is one of the primary differences in the (relative!) success or improvimg play out of the special teams.

In particular he cited JPP’s involvement in special teams and how he runs around like a man possessed out there and he clears out a lot of room because he is so big and fast (and no one wants to get in his way or even try to block him). I think that bodes well for JPP’s future with the team: obviously he is willing to do whatever he can to get on the field and help the team, even playing special teams. Fantastic sign for this rookie.

it was a nice game to build off of. When he was healthy last year he looked like he was possessed at times.

Didn’t really make many plays aside from rushing Schaub on a few occasions, but didn’t really make too many mistakes.

He’ll get better and more involved as the season progresses. I know he’s been in the league a long time, but there’s still room for improvement in that old body of his.

I thought this would be his “coming out party” but really….I dont think he got a whole helluva lot of snaps.

haven’t watched the replay but i’ll try to this week.

Congratulating Goff once….

He mostly played on 1st and 2nd down. He didn’t make any glaring mistakes. He bit hard on a play action pass. He hesitated on a few plays. He pressured the QB on one play. Shaub had to dump off to the RB in the flat. Tuck made the tackle. On another play he blanketed the TE in the flat.

It was a good first start. I’d give a C grade.

Hey…I’m all about Tuck, Osi, and Kiwi but Cofield and Canty are beasts right now.

When I heard Kiwi was out with the bulging disc I thought Osi might take his foot off the gas because he didn’t have someone breathing down his neck trying to take his job. I was wrong and now I think that coming off the knee surgery slowed him a bit early last year. Then after the defense all but collapsed he was just not a factor out there. I remember that Osi explained that he would take a sack over sex…he’s basically getting both now because he’s been screwing Offensive linemen all year…

Come out to play.

definitely not a #1 back.

If you remember, last season our yards given up was pretty good thru most of the season, until that final stretch of disgusting, if I’m not mistaken.

Points allowed is probably a more accurate measure of a true defense, although that number can get skewed due to the offense and special teams giving up bad field position. But I believe we are ranked 18th in points allowed.

I came up with this totally unscientific, off the top method earlier today: just add up our yardage ranking with our points allowed ranking, then divide by two. The result? Were ranked 9th(rounded down) in overall D. Sounds fair to me!

we’re 1st in passing yards allowed 146 per game
10th in rushing yards allowed 98.6. Since the Week 2 debacle we’re allowing 81 yards per game
3rd in Sacks

He was flat out dominant out there, the kid is a legit playmaker and it doesn’t matter if he catches a 1 yard toss or a 40 yard pass he’s going to make something out of it. You’ve got to take your hat off to Reese because he didn’t waste much time in finding a replacement for Plax.

Hopefully he can stay healthy because by season’s end he’s going to have some ungodly numbers. I know that fantasy footballers are probably worshipping the ground that he walks on.

But this to me is an example of Eli’s leadership. To me those looked like typical Eli responses. Never take credit, always team first.

These young backs and recievers see that he’s had success, and they see how he deals with the media…they follow his lead.

No one on the offense seems to have any sort of ego at all, perhaps with the excpetion of Jacobs, but he was here before Eli, and also seems to be toning it down after putting up some numbers the last two weeks.

Good stuff.

however isn’t ironic that it takes a couple of jabs from Tiki for the Giants to play this awesome.
I know TC has not lost the grip on the group, but what makes it more interesting is that the players defend their coach playing they way they did.
Perhaps what we need is more stupid comments from Tiki, no less.
just my thoughts

she was croation.

sighhhh

I wasn’t concerned about special teams? I did give Reynaud a WW, and I had mixed praise for Dodge. I do see improvement, but not everything you need to see yet.

And by the way, don’t be quick to roast offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride over this. Last year, when I often complained about the play-calling, I was told that Manning often changes the play at the line of scrimmage based on what he sees.

they took that ability out of Eli’s hands and said just run the ball, or throw the short timing routes.
