New York Giants News And Notes: Fewell Talks About Defensive Woes

Lots of stuff to get out there for you this morning, New York Giants' fans. So, here are your morning news and notes.

Giants' defensive coordinator Perry Fewell used to hold that same job in Buffalo, as well as a short stint as Bills' interim head coach. He downplayed any connection he had to Buffalo, though,' saying "It’s just a game that we have to win."

To win it, Fewell's defense, ranked a disappointing 20th in the league in yards allowed per game, will have to play better.

"We're trying to learn how to play together. That's the biggest problem that I think we have right now, learning how to play together. So yes, my focus is more on us than it is the Buffalo Bills because we have to learn how to compliment each other and we don't know how to compliment each other at this point in time," Fewell said. "What you see is we have some youth back there in our linebacker corps. Then with some of the guys moving in and out, we're not consistent. I said that to you last week. We're not a consistent defense."

Fewell told reporters Thursday that he might have players wear wristbands in order to make sure they all get the calls correctly. I don't know all the technical aspects of defensive schemes, but all I can say to that is if professional players have to wear wristbands to figure out what the defense is then whatever they are supposed to be doing is probably way too complicated.

Star-divide

Justin Tuck has not practiced this week due to his neck and groin injuries, and his frustration is evident.

"You worked out in the offseason to prepare your body to have a great year and sometimes these unfortunate things come and you have to take them in stride. That is what I am trying to do," Tuck said. "You definitely want to be out there helping your teammates win. As far as me just wanting to be out there on the football field, it is frustrating for me not to be out there."

Ahmad Bradshaw was asked Thursday whether he is frustrated about the Giants' problems running the ball so far. He said pretty much the only thing he could say.

"I believe in my line and I figure that they get better every week and hopefully this week they are 10 times better," Bradshaw said. "We are going to come out and try our best. Up front, we have to handle them and we have to hit the holes hard."

Much-improved Bills out to erase all doubt vs. Giants - NYPOST.com

"We’re a better team than people think," running back Fred Jackson told The Post yesterday. "We know the doubters are going to be there until we finally get back to the playoffs, and I understand that, but this team is no fluke."

To ease wear and tear, Nicks turns to hyperbaric chamber | New York Daily News

Two full seasons in the NFL have taught Hakeem Nicks one thing. By the time December comes around, the wideout's 23-year-old body will be bruised and battered.

"I'm fine now," he says. "But late in the season, you get groin injuries and hamstring soreness. Things like that."

This season, Nicks is going through great lengths to keep himself from that late-season weariness. The latest example? He just purchased a hyperbaric chamber, and he's planning to start sleeping in it later next week.

 

Simms sees setback in Giants offensive line - NYPOST.com

Working for CBS — which carries primarily AFC games — Phil Simms does not get to call too many Giants games. He watches his former team "as a fan" but when he put on his analyst’s cap for Sunday’s game against the Bills it did not take long for the quarterback to spot the weakness.

"It’s the first note I wrote: The offensive line is not the dominating force I usually see with the Giants ever since Tom Coughlin’s been there," Simms said. "Ever since he’s been there that offensive line’s body of work has been tremendous."

We’ve already played three pre-season games and five regular season games. I don’t it takes until game six for players to start working better together. My guess is we’ll see more of the same defense on sunday that we’ve seen in the first five games.

the defense

has been inconsistent ever since we lost spags. But what I have noticed is when this post-Spag era D plays well, it really plays well. When it plays bad, it really stinks up the place. I’m hoping for the former on this day. Fewell is also in his 2nd yr so that has to count for something. I believe he has the tools to make us a superbowl-type defense. Our D line is arguably the best in the league and Fewell knows how to attack the passer. If we can keep that facet of our D strong, we can do anything.

for the most part

they play well against lousy teams. Since 2009 we’re 7-10 vs teams with a winning record.

In those 17 games we allow 28.5 points. In the 10 losses we allow 35.8 points. It’s obvious this defense is not very good. They haven’t been good since the first half of 2008.

The 7 wins don’t include any against any upper echelon teams. In 2009 we have two wins vs Dallas and one vs Falcons. Falcons were 9-7 in 2009. Our 2010 wins were vs Bears, Houston and Seattle. Seattle had a winning record (4-3) when we played.

Buffalo is the hotter team

They are really going to bring it to the G-Men on Sunday. I am of course pulling for a Giants victory, but it will be a tough road for them. These guys have got to play better defense and on the other side we have to get that running game going. The Giants are down a lot of great players again this week and it will take a special effort on all sides of the ball to beat what appears to be a real contender in the Bills.

I completely agree. Most people are blessed with athletic OR intellectual abilities. Not both. We’re asking our players with limited intelligence to play the role of rocket scientists.

by GMen56-11 on Oct 14, 2011 9:50 AM EDT reply actions  

Actually thats not really true about intellectual or athletic blessings

It’s related to training. Most people don’t train themselves in tins of different things. The guy who spends 2 hours working on math extra credit isn’t going to have time to practice for the football team.

Life’s about choices, rarely you find someone who is so disciplined they can manage the intellectual and physical rigors.

But you’re right in the big picture, if players are routinely blowing the thinking end, you need to change it, it’s unlikely they are going to get better at it.

There was a study years ago that boys naturally excel in math and science while girls excel in english. They naturally use different parts of the brain. Of course there are exceptions to the rule.

Hmmm I think the study you're referring to is a bit out of date

The most current research has proven that girls are equally capable as boys in math and science. In fact the most recent data has girls outperforming boys in certain areas of the physical sciences. There is a huge drop off in the number of women that pursue PhD level work in math and the sciences and the explanations to date focus on sociological reasons.

It would explain past underperformance and the current situation.

disagree

every person that walks this earth naturally excel at some activities and don’t at others. The ones that really succeed are the ones that put in the extra work where they struggle.

Do you really think you’re equal in every facet of your life? Physically, mentally, socially etc?

Growing up I played every sport. I excelled in most sports. Some sports came naturally while others I sucked. In the sports I sucked I either chose not to play or put in extra work to get better. My golf game is average. Without question I practiced more in golf than the other sports combined. I took lesson. Everything. Guess what? I’m still an average golfer. Yet, put a hockey stick in my hands and I’ll shine. Throw me a football and I’ll catch it.

that's why they're professional athletes

I never said they were “unintelligent”.

I said:

The coaches are unquestionably asking their players to think too much. Sports is primarily based on reaction and instinct. When you ask a player to think you minimize their strengths.

I often quote Tim McCarver “Think Long! Think Wrong!”

That certainly applies here and Fewell all but admits it.

It's a fact

the majority of the student athlete in the two major sports are in universities for their athletic ability and not due to their grades or SAT scores. To suggest otherwise is naive or ignoring the obvious.

Cromartie of the Jets has an IQ of 60. An IQ of 50-70 is considered Mild mental retardation. A counselor at FSU was fired because she spoke out asking why are Cromartie and others admitted into FSU when they don’t meet the academic requirements.

Another study was completed recently about multitasking. It is almost impossible for most to multitask by doing something physical and mental at the same time. Many think they can multitask. In reality they can’t.

Antonio Cromartie is your best argument?

This is incredibly stupid, probably racist, to suggest that just cuz someone plays sports it means they’re not going to be an intellectual. THere’s plenty of players who are NFL caliber athletes but also incredibly smart. Just cuz you don’t know anyone who’s like that doesn’t mean they’re well represented in professional sports.

Actually your point isn't made

Your claim isn’t about what they have learned, it’s what they are capable of learning.

Most people are blessed with athletic OR intellectual abilities. Not both.

And that simply isn’t true. There are plenty of people that have strong intellectual and strong athletic attributes. As for SATs and GPAs, you’ld expect the athletes to have lower GPAs and test scores because they have far less time to devote to honing those skills.

as for Cromartie’s IQ, you should keep in mind that an IQ score is only as good as the seriousness of the test taker. I can imagine how seriously Cromartie attempted that test. It’s the same with the wonderlic. Plenty of these kids show up and don’t want to be bothered. They do it, but they don’t care. Finally, IQ tests in general are frowned on as intelligence measurements because it’s been established that they are culturally biased. they are very useful as diagnostic tools for closed head injuries another trauma to the brain (my lil sis is a Psych. And specializes in that sort of thing).

different kinds of intelligence

The brain uses basically two methods for decision making; The process that does calculus and physics uses the frontal cortex. The process by which almost all on-field decisions are made (and the one by which we are able to do the necessary physics calculations to see 1/10 of a second of a line drive and go to the right spot at the right moment to catch it) uses dopamine receptors in another part of the brain. A person’s IQ is supposed to measure the first kind. Only sometimes is a high IQ guy a quick thinking player. I am neither.

I get the point about it being too complicated

But if wristbands will help, then fine. Complicated is good, so if something simple like wristbands can solve the communication / confusion issues then its a stroke of brilliance as far as I’m concerned. They stuffed the run all the way through the preseason and up to the Eagles game, so I have no doubt they can still do that. Just a question of putting it all together now. Even with all the injuries they still have talent and I think they’ll be fine long term. If Tuck is able to come back (which I’m having serious doubts about) they’ll be better than fine.

offenses have become very complicated

so defenses have as well—it’s not just coverage and alignment/stunt packages up front anymore—there is A LOT to know on defenses, and a lot of it has to do with formations—movement of the offense up front.

I don’t think the wristbands are for what PF wants them to do, but how they should align, what they should do based on what the offense is doing (formations, motions, etc.)

Fewell

I hate the idea that a coordinator comes in with “his system” and imposes it on his team regardless of the strengths of the players. The Giants have corners who are excellent man to man cover guys, and they stink in cover two, plus, the safeties are slow to cover over the top. Yes, the Giants have a lot of new faces on both sides of the ball, but I can accept the slow development on the OLine more than the defense. Apart from Jones and Williams, there is a TON of experience on the defensive side of the ball.
The combination of lack of running game and the D’s inability to get off the field is going to have these guys dead on their feet the last quarter of the season.

This is sort of a pattern around here

Plax went down, and we needed to use a faster but less skilled WR in Hixon. The game plan and the plays didn’t change. The result was inefficiency. Now we have a slew of defensive injuries, and instead of altering the approach to highlight what we have left and hide deficiencies the idea is wristbands.

Is this typical of football coaches, that they are so wedded to their ideas that they can’t flex mid stream?

Even with the injuries, there is a ton of defensive talent on field. Maybe it means taking some more risks, maybe it means abandoning some favorite things (you can’t just plug guys in for JasonTuck and expect similar results).

It worries me, from a psych perspective. When guys fail, it breeds a culture of failure, that’s what happened in2009, it could happen again.

Perry is not getting it

He either is unwilling to change the system, is not getting the ear of JR or Clawfin in the war room or he cannot change because he is too stupid.

I will say this, the year before he became HC at Buffalo and then the first part of the year…..Buffalo had a really good defense. Their offense left them out to dry alot but still good. They did not however have the injuries we have had. But they did not have the talent we have—ever.

obviously there is emotion after a win....

but what about when something bad happens? the D does not rebound when thigns are not going their way, and that has been our problem for the past 3-4 years. we are a good team with talent all over the place. we have the playmakers on defense to be very good, but when i watch the games week in and week out i see a defense that is easily deflates, tuck included. The games we have won this year were because eli and his receivers made plays.

they seemed to rebound against Arizona and Seattle

the offense was the problem against Seattle, for all the Whitehurst jocking the defense was beating the hell out of him for most of the time he was in there, they just got tired after a while.Same thing with Klob, after a while they started to adjust and make plays and get off the field.

They’re giving up yards, but that’s more so cuz they’re on the field too much and that accumulates after a while.

The defense actually seems to always step it up, but there’s a reason why you have an offense, a defense and special teams. They haven’t put together a good effort for a whole game from all 3 squads.

Exactly and when the defense forces turnovers and gets sacks, the offense hasnt responded with points.

Also when our offense turns the ball over and puts our defenses back against the wall and they get scored on….its not the defenses fault.

All 3 teams have to play together and play off of eachother.

The bend dont break defense is meant to give up yards in attempt to lure you into a false sense of security and therefore make a play.

With the wrist bands

I don’t think the problem is overcomplication (every good NFL defense is complicated, they HAVE to be, to beat over protected offenses). I think the problem is more that there have been a lot of moving parts. They’ve lost veteran leadership (not to mention a lot of talent) at every level of the defense.

While the next men up have performed well (considering how young the defense is on whole), there’s just a LOT of moving parts at the moment.

sure he’s still in love w/ this notion to just rush 4 and drop everyone back….but the D did come up w/ 6 sacks (although he still could have blitzed more IMO).

so yeah, you eliminate that pick 6….the giants could very well win.

who’s supposed to win after giving up 5 Turnovers anyways?

When you have 4 all world ends, and another one who is beasting accompanied by two immovable objects in Canty and Anvil, is it wrong to assume that you dont need to blitz all the time??

Some teams get it done with way less talent up front so i think thats what he’s thinking at times and i would agree as well with that thought process. This is not an average line.

Now, I admit that THE problem is a few things. Some he can fix and others he cannot.

Sticking with the same thing too long and getting beat.
Conversely, he also does play to conservative once they get up. Often times changing the plan from the one that got you there.

I have to disagree

To say the D really didn’t play badly is a bit short-sighted. Sure, they got some sacks and turnovers, but when the chips were down, they crumbled. When your offense hands you a lead, late in the 4th quarter, against one of the worst offensive teams in the league, using their back-up QB, you need to make sure that you give the ball right back to the offense. Instead, they let Seattle march right down the field (rather easily, too) and then botched the go-ahead TD badly.

I’m not killing PF. I don’t think any of us really understands how difficult and complicated it is to come up with a defensive scheme that you think can be successful. It takes a long time to put a scheme in place. To expect that you can just take one week and change the whole thing is a bit absurd.

well, i'm not giving PF a pass by any means

in fact, i consider myself one of his biggest critics actually….and I have been for a while now

I personally agree w/ you about the way he lets teams march down the field vs. his “bend don’t break” mentality…but the fact is, that’s been going on since day 1 really…

so we’re not going to see HUGE changes week to week, but as i pointed out above…he is making some changes….namely w/ Webster.

but ultimately, the Giants still shoulda won that game, and probably would have if the O doesn’t turn it over. and as we all know….had they won, a lot of BBVers woudl be turning a blind eye to the deficiencies on D.

And before some of you start going off on" the giants never make mid season trades, it’s not how we do things…." I am just bringing this up as something to discuss.

If the giants could work out an extension with Lloyd before hand I think I would make that trade.

Your thought?

Nope.

I am NOT a Lloyd fan

he’s had one good year out of 8, not including this season(which he’s not lighting the world on fire either). and hasn’t come close to those numbers any year before. i’d take The Man everyday over Lloyd, twice on sunday.

Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....

Lloyd was projected to be the 49ers up-and-coming WR a few years ago. He failed. He had a stint in WAS which failed but I won’t hold him liable in Hogs Haven. In denver, I wish he continued his success from last year. I think our receivers are just fine. and id take ham over lloyd anyday

a pick and a sack??

Is he any greener than any other rookie?? and how do you make noise anywhere until you are actually there?

The fact that Kiwi is practicing on the line shows the confidence that they have in Herz. I say why not?

i agree

but if he hasn’t moved his way up the depth chart a third into the season, then there’s something he’s not doing that’s catching the coaches eyes. it’s not as if he’s behind LT, Banks, Carson, and Pepper. i don’t remember him in there for any snaps, yet. that tells me that TC isn’t confident in his skills, yet.

and as far as Jacquain, he showed them something, because he was getting reps from week one on. i’m confident that Herz will be something for the Giants, i just don’t know if that role will be defined this season, or at least this early.

Poor tackling

I have notice a lot missed tackles in almost every game this year, which accounts for the so many yards allowed.
Improve the tackling and reduce the turnovers and we will be in the play-off.
