Bye Week Analysis: Giants' Special Teams

Anyone who has been reading Big Blue View for a while understands that I am not the world's biggest fan of Giants' special teams coordinator Tom Quinn. That said, during the bye week I am going to try and offer some analysis of the offense, defense and special teams. I am going to start today with the special teams, and I am going to try and take my distaste for Quinn out of the equation.

The play of these groups has seemingly been a sore spot with the Giants for years. It seems like there has always been a problem somewhere, sometimes multiple problems in multiple places. Let's look at how the various special teams groups are performing so far in 2011.

Let's start with a look at the basic kick and punt coverage numbers:

Kick Returns: 23.2 yards per return (19th)
Punt Returns: 9.4 yards per return (18th)
Kick Coverage: 23.3 yards allowed per return (18th)
Punt Coverage: 38.2 yards net per punt (17th)

Those numbers are decidedly middle-of-the pack. None of them are great, but none of them are bad, either. You know what? Considering the issues the Giants had in these areas last season these numbers are perfectly acceptable. The Giants aren't excelling, but they aren't getting killed by these groups like they did a season ago, either.

Star-divide

The Returners

Devin Thomas is the most dangerous kickoff returner the Giants have had in a while. Among returners with at least 10 returns thus far, Thomas' average of 25.2 yards per return is ninth in the league. Quinn says Thomas has had "too many muffs" and needs to "start catching the ball cleaner." 

Maybe so, although I haven't noticed a lot of issues with catching the ball. For the most part, I also have not had issues with his judgment on whether or not to bring the ball out of the end zone.

Aaron Ross has wanted to return punts for the for years now, and he is doing a nice job. His average of 9.0 yards per return is 21st out of 30 return men in the league with at least six returns, but he seems to be maximizing whatever is available, has been very secure with the ball and I like the fact that he catches the ball and gets upfield quickly. 

"He does a good job of wanting to catch the ball and go. Not a whole lot of dance. [Ross] tries to get vertical as quick as he can," Quinn said.

The Kickers

Steve Weatherford has been a terrific addition by the Giants, as we thought he would be when the Giants signed him to replace Matt Dodge. Most surprisingly, Weatherford is averaging 46.4 yards per punt. He has a career average of 43.2, and has not averaged better than 43 yards per punt since 2007. More importantly, his net average -- punt yardage minus returns -- is 38.2, a huge improvement over Dodge's 34.3 net average of a season ago.

Lawrence Tynes has had only six field-goal attempts, making four. The biggest concern is that both misses were blocked, and that is an issue the Giants have got to correct. It also happened in preseason. The new kickoff rule has helped Tynes immensely. He has 16 touchbacks this season, with 53.3 percent of his kicks not being returned. That is 13th in the league. A year ago Tynes was 23rd in the league, with only 7.7 percent of his kickoffs going for touchbacks.

Overall

There is, obviously, room for improvement. The good thing, though, is that while the Giants may not have gotten many really big plays from their special teams units, they are not getting hurt by them as they have in the past. That is a step in the right direction.

Kicking

really concerns me. I don’t have a heck of a lot of confidence in Tynes at this point outside of chip shots. On the first of the two blocks this year, his kick would have been way, way wide left anyway. Fortunately, the offense has generally been very good at scoring touchdowns, but at some point this year, a game will come down to a long-ish FG, and we don’t exactly look great there.

Ross has been adequate as a PR – no breakaway speed but he hasn’t messed stuff up either – and again, given that our offense is capable of gaining big chunks of yardage, that’s OK.

I wouldn’t call Thomas the most dangerous KR we’ve had in a long time — he hasn’t shown me real tackle-breaking ability, great moves, or breakaway speed. Hixon, for example, I’d think of as more dangerous. I guess if nothing else, he’s been decent and consistent – much like Ross, really, and with kickoffs from the 35 returns are becoming less relevant.

Sadly, I agree.

just don’t give up any big returns, especially for TD’s, and I’ll be content with that for the coverage teams. As we all knew, Tynes needed the kickoff rule change as much as anyone in the league, cause his short kicks put me in a bad mood to start every defensive series.

On the kick return side, Thomas has been perfect as far as I’m concerned with his decisions to either bring the ball out or sit on it. I don’t know what TQ is talking about with the muffs, unless he means in practice. Just hold onto the ball and I’m happy with the current status quo.

With punt returns, Ross wants it and it shows. Keep moving forward Ross, you are a pleasant surprise on D and in ST’s. Just hold onto the ball, and I’ll be happy.

If I am being negative, please don't let it fool you, I am an optimist at heart and I can prove it.

Excellent review

Im very curious about penalties on special teams. It seems to me that we used to take awful penalties on special teams, that made a bad situation worse. This year, the penalties seem less common. But that’s just perception, I haven’t checked anything.

It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

Eh, there have been a few.

There was a block in the back in the second quarter vs. BUF, punt or kick I don’t remember.

And there were at least 2 penalties on kicks vs. SEA that backed us way up.

My perception, like your’s, is that it hasn’t been a big problem, but I would like to see less than I have over the past 2 games.

The major difference from last year to this year...

is that the special teams play was hurting the team, not the case this year. There is much more room for improvement! And I can see that happening.

by oldschoolblue64 on Oct 19, 2011 1:41 PM EDT reply actions  

I would give special teams a C

My biggest concern is those blocked FGs. If they don’t get that straightened out it will cost them a win later in the year. I love how Devin Thomas picks a seam and hits it full speed with no hesitation. With a little better blocking he’ll take one the distance. Weatherford has been very good with his directional kicking as well as his distance. AR is adequate as a punt returner. His blockers don’t give him much to work with though. As someone above said, coverage teams are mediocre and that’s an improvement.

Weatherford has been a wonderful addition.

Unlike last year, every punt isn’t an Antonin Artaud play.

Good decision

and he is a good holder too on field goals, if we recall Matt had a bit of a problem in that area.

Damn you, Dan G
So let’s do our own MVP Watch, shall we? Here are my candidates for individual MVPs of each NFC East team so far:

Giants: Manning. The Giants are a small-margin-for-error team, and Manning has done an excellent job so far this year of limiting errors. After throwing a league-leading 25 interceptions last year, he’s thrown just five in six games this year and has had three games without throwing any. The Giants are 3-0 in those games, incidentally.

So, let’s focus on last years INTs…AGAIN
