Giants At Seahawks: What To Watch

Here are five things to watch Sunday when our New York Giants take on the Seahawks in Seattle.
1. The pace of the offense: We know that Giants quarterback Eli Manning has a tendency to run the play clock down to almost nothing before getting the ball snapped, and that sometimes he waits too long. We know that the Giants will be using a silent count and will have backup center Adam Koets in the game. We know that the last time the Giants played at Qwest Field they committed a gazillion false-start penalties (OK, only half-a-gazillion). Memo to Eli: Forget the gesticulations and the changes, just get the play from Kevin Gilbride, get to the line of scrimmage and get the darn ball snapped. The longer you stay up there the louder the crowd is going to get. A slow, plodding pace with the clock always nearing zero will kill the Giants chances of being successful.
2. Charlie Whitehurst's performance: Whitehurst not only makes his first career start Sunday in place of Matt Hasselbeck, he plays the first significant snaps in his five-year career. Can the Giants make him uncomfortable? Can they force him to make mistakes? Whitehurst has waited a long time for this opportunity, and the last thing I want to see is for the Giants to allow him to get any type of good feelings early in the game.
3. Leon Washington vs. the Giants kick coverage: Washington, one of the premier return men in the league, will be handling both kickoff and punt returns for Seattle on Sunday. That's a scary thought for Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. He was asked how big of a concern Washington, who leads the league with an average of 33.7 yards on kickoff returns and has an average of 24 yards on just three punt returns, is for him.
"My goodness. I don't have enough time. It's dark around here about six. He's had an exceptional year, too - don't forget that. When you look at his punt return averages, his kickoffs - his kickoff return average at home. Do you know what it is? 44 yards. Kickoff return average at home," Coughlin said. "You want to keep him from affecting the change in the game. Their offense has taken the ball over, I want to say, 10 times in plus territory this year and scored five of those 10 times, so they've benefitted from outstanding field position."
We know the Giants' propensity for coverage breakdowns on special teams, so I will be holding my breath every time the ball heads in Washington's direction Sunday.
4. Giants defensive line vs. makeshift Seattle offensive line: Left guard Ben Hamilton is out with a concussion, left tackle Russell Okung may not play. The Seattle offensive line is a MASH unit. Let's see if the Giants can take advantage of that and make Whitehurst's first NFL start a miserable one.
5. The Giants kick return game: Darius Reynaud? Will Blackmon? A combination of both? As of now, we don't know for sure, but it looks like it might be Blackmon's show as Reynaud came up with a hamstring injury Friday at practice. Since Reynaud was averaging just 5.9 yards on punt returns and 18.4 on kickoff returns I don't think anyone (except Reynaud and his mom) will complain about seeing Blackmon get a chance.

Seems like everybody must have had a rough Friday night..They are all still sleeping it off..lol
I think #1 and #3..Are the keys to a successful game..and I’m praying that Blackmon makes a huge improvement in our feeble returns game…

You're right Bobbi
but its Blue82’s fault. HE started me on the High road of High Life and I ended up over at Killian’s consulting and discussing the upcoming Giants game. Which I got to the bottom of things with Killian and found that the Giants win somehow or nother.
Osi could have a big game tomorrow along with Tuck. Hope Eli throws no INT’s.
Hahaha!!..I knew it!!...I miss all the dang good parties!!
It’s like that old saying handed down to us by our forefathers: “Here I sit broken-hearted..came to shit but only farted”..Damn the luck!!

False Starts
I know everyone has talked a ton about false start this past week, but I saw an interesting thing on NFC West Blogger MIke Sando’s ESPN page.
In 2004 the Giants committed 33 false start penalties. IN 2005 they committed 38, but since then they have committed
28, 16, 15, 13, and 5 so far this season.
Something has changed whether it be a point of emphasis by the oline coach, or Coughlin, Something Gilbrides’ been doing
or Eli Manning’s maturity?
I’m not sure, but I feel less worried after seeing that stat then I did before I saw that positive trend.
Although it could be that the false start penalties have been replaced by Delay of Game penalties?

That Whitehurst interview didn't offer much insight..
He should just come right out and say it…:“The Giants scare the Be-geezus out of me!”…With that leftside of their line in shambles he’ll be rolling out right the whole game..Fewell is going to have our guys loaded on that side..He’s really in deep yogurt..

Their defensive line is also a mash unit, best run defender is out for the year, another DT
is out for this game. I think we should run more this game.

Running game
I agree with that. Pound the ball, keep it simple, lessen the chances for communication miscues and, by grinding out first downs, get the crowd out of the game.
Off the subject Ed
I was out of town for a bit, working in the “field”, and have just now looked back over past posts. I ran across your posting giving me Kudos for the Ugly Duckling reference. Thanks to you and all the other guys for the compliments. Had no idea at the time that such golden words were coming from my silver keyboard. However, you did give me a headache, for when I read your kind words I stood up so fast that my head hit my ego!
Hahaha!!..Jolly..that was a classic comment!!..LOL!!
I hope your ego didn’t get fined by the NFL for an illegal hit..lol
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
I agree Great..We should be able to run and should against that D-line..early and often..
Let AB get them winded..and then a full dose of BJ..This game is looking more and more like a blowout to me even though I hate to ever say it..

+1
Someone wrote that KG is pulling out all the stops to get aTD on the first posession – to silence the crowd. Seems logical.
Running successfully and often is all good. Gee, wonder if they will do it.
that being said
I hope KG attempts to run the ball and not open with 3 straight passes.

#3 is all I'm worried about
just don’t let him get in the end zone.
- all they gotta do is come out running the ball. Do that a few times, then get Eli going with a few rhythm throws and a shot down the field.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Agreed..also somebody mentioned on another thread..
If we win the coin toss..Elect to defend..I think that would be a perfect way to start..
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
..That 44 yard return average Leon has is scary good..
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Hate to, but I gotta disagree on this one...
If they win the coin toss, take the ball, and methodically march it down the field for a touchdown. It quiets the crowd and puts even more pressure on the inexperienced quarterback by putting down by a touchdown before he touches the ball and leaves him with a mindset of “damn, I gotta make something happen NOW or we’ll be down by two TD’s and I’m gonna get killed if we’ve gotta play catch-up”.
Well..good point Cranky..If we score quick that would quiet the noise..the defense could also quiet them..
But your point about putting pressure on Whitehurst by being down 7-0 would serve two purposes….so I guess its a coin toss..
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
A sure win for Big Blue on paper.
Unfortunately, the kind of game the Giants lose too often.
Yes George..that is why I cringed when I used the term 'blowout'
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Interesting observation by TC in that...
Seattle has scored 5 of the ten times that they have gotten the ball in plus territory. Although Matt Dodge has steadly improved over the past several weeks he has kicked some terrible balls at the most inopportune times.
It is my hope that the the positive development continues in this game. Leon catching the ball at mid field may increase his chances of running a successful return so Matt, we need consistency buddy.
Also, gotta agree with Great Gasby’s suggestion in that the Giants should stick to running more than passing. While I trust the effectiveness of our passing, I think that our running game will be a problem for Seattle so long as AB holds on to the ball.
Our Defense is the main reason why we are where we are so I am not concerned about thier ability. I expect them to lay a good game and there is nothing else to be said regarding them.

i have a way to prevent Leon from returning any punts
keep the offense on the field and score. And then we can just kick…. it…. off..? to him. Oh… shoot…. wait a minute….damn, I thought I had that all figured out…. Well, since that won’t keep the ball outta his hands, are we better off just kicking it outta bounds on kickoffs & punts?? Let them start at the 40 and unleash Osi & crew to do what they do best Is that the best plan of attack?
Not to mention, seems like TC is afraid of Leon, “My Goodness. I don’t have enough time. It gets dark here around 6…” maybe he would take that strategy into serious consideration if the first couple kicks dont work out so well.
Ha! Yeah, I peeped that too.

But I hope Fewell remembers that ...
Charlie Whitehurst is 0-0 in scoring from anywhere. I was a little disappointed in the Lions game at how we made a 3rd string QB look respectable, and only rushed 3 or 4 guys way too often.
Bring the heat !!!
The NFL is funny
It’s not just the Giants. Most teams seem to struggle in this league when they have a big edge on paper. This game scared me earlier in the week. But the more I see of the injuries on the Seahawks I think they will just be outmanned. if the Giants lose this one, it will be because they let up mentally. If Coughlin gets them ready, this should be easy.
I remember that Parcells was great at getting under guys skin all week at practice when he saw a trap game. They were so pissed off at his needling about how bad they looked all week that they just wanted to kill someone by game time.
Yeah Parcells was a master at motivation..
His best one, even it wasn’t a ‘trap’ game was what he did to Jumbo Elliot prior to the Super Bowl..He pulled LT off to the side and told him to harass the shit out of Jumbo..Well, Jumbo got so mad at LT that he wanted to fist-fight him..Parcells told him: : “Your going up against Bruce Smith, the best damn defensive end in football..and you can’t even block a damn linebacker?”..Well Smith never got near Hostetler…
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Yep
That was one of his best. I really miss Parcells and the way he manipulated his teams mentally. The master motivator. And that swagger and the perennial chip on his shoulder, which he transferred to his teams. He was kind of like Billy Martin that way, but twice the size. Always two steps ahead of everyone and setting up the mental edge game to game. It sucks getting old, but I’m sure glad I got to see those teams.
I love Parcells (except the Cowboys' Parcells) and his philosophy
I remember the motivation of Jumbo so I have been following Diehl around for about a year just running past him…I run past him to the left…I run past him to the right. I run past him in Walmart…I run past him on the street…I run past him in the morning, afternoon, and I run past him at night. I must be doing something wrong because he doesn’t seem like he’s getting upset with me yet.

In plus territory
scoring 5 of 10 times sounds OK I guess. Wonder what most teams do when starting in plus territory? I know there are some stats guys on this board that could probably answer that. If the Giants played the same teams I personally would expect a better average of scoring from plus territory than 5 of 10. But that expectation comes from my gut and not well-reasoned analysis.
Kickoff Returns
shouldn’t be a big problem because if we are kicking off then we probably just scored. Punt returns are another matter. Did I read that the guy has a 24 yard average on three punt returns? So they have only forced 3 punts? Can they be that weak?
"The Cowboys Still SUCK"
No
Golden Tate has done most of the punt returning this season. He’s hurt right now, though. An, if I recall, Tate is averaging something like 11 yards per punt return.

I hope we have no punts..nada..zero..just kick-offs lots of them..and
Just to be on the safe side let’s sneak Bomar up there in the play review booth..

I think
We should let Eli do all the gestations he wants, cuuuuuuz I think he’s a really good QB. I’m sure he knows a whole lot more about getting the offense into gear than we do. And he’s absolutely gained my trust.
Let's Go Giants!!!!
Well as long as he doesn't get the team doing the 'Macaronna Dance' with him..

Am I the only one?
Yea, I’ve been enjoying the last month or so while the Giants have been experiencing some success and I’m thankful for that. Yesterday, I was looking over the year so far and realized that we are almost at the half-way point of the 2010 season. This is all moving too fast! I know I’m not alone when I feel like the off-season is like years of torture while waiting for the season to start. So, when the season starts I get so wrapped up in the action that before I know it Christmas is here and I start experiencing an annual “end-o-season” prolonged anxiety attack. I may have to supplement my binge drinking with some sort of sedative this off-season. I guess I picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue…

yea...you're right.
I’m not a big fan of the 18 game season plus if they add the 2 games all they will do is erase 2 preseason games or limit the OTA and mini-camps. We’d still have a long off-season.
But, it’s gonna happen so….

big fan?
not too many fans are in favor of a 18 game schedule except Roger. Goodell is a fucking hypocrite. He spins it. He make it seem like he’s doing what the fans want. We all know that’s pure BS

actually
I’m in favor of the 18 game season. Anything that makes MORE football is good. Plus it would add a few extra players to the roster, ultimately decreasing the national unemployment rate by about .000000000000000000000001%. ~
Ahh ... a stimulus package that both ...
Democrats and Republicans can get behind. Bring it on !
Shit the only thing both parties have focussed on together is steriod use in professional sports..
I have a sneaking suspicion that Nancy Pelosi just wanted to make sure her balls were bigger than Roger Clements..I may be wong but I am not ‘nuts’…Hell it is not that far-fetched..Toilet seats that we buy for 20 bucks at the Home Depot..the government pays 1000.00 for which means when we pay 20.00 bucks we think we got a deal..but when you factor in what these morons pay for a goddamn toilet seat and do the math I figure we are all sitting on 720.00 toilet seats that we thought cost 20.00..So next time you sit down on your toilet seat..treat it with respect..You paid more for it than you think..That’s why I told the wife..I’m not going to lift the seat up to take a leak then set it down..nor due I expect you to lift the damn seat back up when you go…We’re going to wear out the hinges on a 720.00 toilet seat!!..
Aside from things like toilet seats and the 1000.00 they spend a 3/8 inch ratchet wrench…50 bucks for a 1/4 inch nut 500.00 if you need a bolt and washer…on and on..They even spent a billion dollars apiece on studies we could give a shit-less about..for example they have concluded that the reason the damn engines are falling of the MD-80 airplanes is because people are flushing the toilets in them…Now you have people asking each other if they have to go prior boarding “Can you make it 2.5 hours?” I think that is why they introduced that group 1 2 3 4 5 boarding sequence that they say makes the whole process of boarding a plane whose engine may fall off if you flush the damn toilet..smoother..So they have ‘experts’ assess you..if they conclude you may have to pee..Your group 3…Take a dump?..Group 4..Diahrea?..Group 5..

I'm with you Frank..18 games in this sport won't work..
They can’t do that without a ton of other rules being changed..Roster size, the IR rules..just to name two..Just saying they are going to play 18 games won’t cut it…also, coaches have to evaluate players in the offseason/pre-season…So while Goodall-two-shoes says they’ll go to 18 by slicing two pre-season games is fucking stupid..Teams will increase the pairing up and having intra-squad scrimmages..the net result will be the same..and injuries will increase Roger because you have no safety rules in place if teams do that, which they will..and it’ll be war..and the product you see placed on the field opening day will suck..good luck selling that shit to Europe..They don’t buy any of our crap anyway…Go find a job as Comissioner of Cricket.

in Toronto!!..Trying to coax Hockey fans to watch that shit?..They are used to and root for a game where it is expected that the players do not have a full set of teeth, fist-fights..etc..Your putting in rules where a guy gets fined for hitting somebody if they pat him on the ass …yeah Canada ..they’ll love that bullshit…Stop ruining the game..Stop diluting the competition..stop exploiting the players..Let them play football in America where it should be played..Stop catering to these greedy owners who rip off the true fans of this sport..adopt a bring your own beer and hot-dog policy..lose the high priced concessions that serve dog food..stop allowing your network deals prevent a guy in Rochester from accessing the game of his choice… and stop ruining my life..

Revenge
I know we gave them a beat down in 08 but I’m looking forward to giving them one on Qwest field for that loss in ’06 where we have about 20 offsides penalties.
I’d like to see a good 42 to 9 beat down

If the gmen show up, they win this game handily
the seahawks does not have any consistent offensive production to score points against the giants. they’re going to be very one-dimensional because our run defense has been dominant, and the lack of playmakers (with the exception of williams) will hurt them.
their defense isnt terrible, but the giants should score around 20-34 points on them. A game the giants should win, and dominate.
sadly… this is a crazy year in the nfl. it’s chaos. any given sunday this year. theres a possibility the giants dont show up in this game and the seahawks steal one. we’ve seen it happen (most recently browns-saints). let’s hope the giants dont have a let down like that

Great write-up Ed.
You covered everything here. I agree with Rorschach44, and Tom Coughlin for that matter that Leon is a big threat coming into this game. Even if the offense scores consistently we’ll have to kick-off a bunch, and if Washington is giving Seattle a short field all day Whitehurst will certainly have more success.
I hate to think that this game has a lot riding on Tom Quinn, but it does.

Your right on tito..Ed certainly does his homework..
I wish he’d make a mistake once in awhile..He’s giving me a complex…I think about every game each week and get on here and Ed already has what I think posted and more…must have something to do with them brown shoes he wears..If that guy ever gets lost somewhere, he could probably click the heels together and they’d take him home..

1 thing will be put to rest on sunday..
Reynaud or blocking, who is to blame ? i for 1 think Reynauds getting a bad rap. But we shale see..
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
I agree Troy
In kickoff returns. But his punt return average is something around 5 yards, or maybe even less. You could literally catch the ball, dive forward fall face first and get that average…I think we’ll see that his skill set doesn’t exactly fit this punt return system.

Yes I agree Troy..With Blackmon now we'll see if there is a difference.

I'm leaning towards your side of the arguement...
We have been especially bad in the return game this year but it has a lot to do with blocking. If I remember correctly, we weren’t exactly leading the league in punt or kickoff returns last year…well, we may have had the most opportunities seeing as we refused to play defense.

agreed
In the beginning of the year when everyone was jumping on Reynaud I defended him by using the argument that the blocking was poor and there was nowhere for him to go. Having said that, over the past few games he’s muffed a few punts and makes bad decisions coming out of the end zone when he should just take a knee. Even if the blocking sucks you have to secure the ball and Reynaud hasn’t been doing that. Time to see what Blackmon can do.
I’m not expecting this to be the next Tom Brady/Drew Bledsoe thing but I’m not expecting this to be a absolute cakewalk either.
HA!!
Me neither…but you have to admit that Whitehurst has way better hair than Brady does…

NYG red zone offense vs. SEA red zone defense
The Giants are the 2nd best team in the NFL in red zone offense behind Houston. Seattle is the 2nd best team in the NFL in red zone defense behind Tennessee. Good match up.

WHAT TO WATCH...
speaking of what to watch…i can’t watch this game cuz my cable isn’t carrying it (bumped by the Bills)…i was gonna search the site search option to see what people have said in the past about streaming but its currently down…any suggestions on good sites to stream the game?
atdhe.net
is what I use. They usually have 2 or 3 options.
Worst comes to worst, search on google “sports streaming sites”. You’ll find lots of websites and hopefully 1 will work

I can't believe they'd bump a Giants telecast for a Buffalo game..What cable company do you have?..geez..that bites

upstate...rochester time warner
usually the Gmen are on cuz the Bills are CBS (AFC) and Gmen are Fox(NFC) but the geniuses at time warner decided not to have the double header on Fox this week so the Bills are the 1pm vs. the Bears and Gmen get the boot… seriously considering Direct TV anyway though

Yeah that's a shame..We have Direct and wound up buying the NFL network because..
Living in Florida since 2005, I wanted to make sure I wouldn’t miss a Giants game…ironically this year they have been televised every week so far..but its fun to skip around the league and see what’s going on in other games during time-outs and such..It’s not cheap..I think 240.00 a year..but I just send the wife out at the end o the driveway in high-heeled shoes and a halter-top…Helps pay for it…hahaha (if she ever reads some of what I wrote today…baseball bats on my head will be involved!!)..but seriously it is worth the money..We paid 250.00 for tickets to the Cowboy game..plus rented a car 180.00..Fortunately we have enough frequent flyer and Marriot points to cover those costs…This will be an annual trip..She’s a Cowboy fan..so we’re thinking about trying to get up there to see the next game..Plus I’d like to visit the new stadium and compare it to the Jerry Playhouse..So, we’re searching e-bay to bid on tickets..I have family and friends up there, so I would only have to use up points on airfare..so, we’re just looking at ticket costs..
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
Hm
Isn’t the game on at 4 o’clock?
Or is that when fox isn’t having a double header?

-Michael Strahan
yeah
every year i look at the schedule and see the TV broadcasting…the bills get first billing (no pun intended) up here, so they usually get 1 or 2 games on FOX and if they conflict with the giants then the gmen get the boot…and when the giants get there 1 or 2 games on CBS if they conflict with the bills again they get the boot…This year I didn’t get the titans game (i’m actually thankful for) and won’t get the jaguars game, surprisingly FOX must not be having a national “double header” and the bills get first dibs bumping the giants…My buddy has the NFL ticket but went on hunting trip to Nebraska this week so i didn’t think i would be able to go there but good news his back window is unlocked and he said i could climb through…hope no one sees me and calls the cops

This is fyi to tito..and all you guys who had questions accepted by sporting new for Tuck...just an update..
After my wife whooped my ass bowling today..We went to this fancy whatcha call them things..Samuria Chef Japanese restaurants…Well as I promised, I visited the restroom twice and they did have articles posted for folks to read..but whilst ‘watering my lizard’, I couldn’t understand the article..it went like this:
Tito-san: :“!!!!@#$%^&%&()?”
Tuck-i-san: “!@$%^&*()!!!”
Valentine-san: "!#$&^%$#@#$%^&(&^%$##$%^&(???
Tuck-i-san: "!!!#$%^*()(*&^%$#!!!Domo torinaga samma!!!
Gatsby- san:" !!!!!@#$%^&*?
Tucki-san:"!#$^&&&&&^%$#!!!
So I guess we’ll have to wait and see..I’ll try some american restaurants…but will continue my search…The host did tell me: “Have a nice night, Bob”
"When I was a boy and had no sense I got my pecker stuck in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair and tickled my balls, and made me shit in my overalls"
In my mind..I think from a special teams perspective..There are two possible scenarios analagous to Pirates..
Versus our majesty the Queens Armada..otherwise known as the Giants..
Scenario one: "Captain Blackburn!!..There is an enemy ship approaching!!
Capt Blackburn: “Go retreive my Red uniform”..
Mate: “But why Captain?”
Capt Blackburn: “Because when we go into battle with the enemy.. I do not want our men to realize I am wounded..my red uniform will hide the blood..It will keep them fighting on and their spirits high..We will be victorious!”..
Scenario two: "Captain Blackburn!!..There are eleven enemy ships approaching!!!
Capt Blackburn: “Go retrieve my Brown Uniform”..
Mate: “But why Captain?”
Capt Blackburn: “Because I am starting to shit in my pants”..
