Giants' GM Jerry Reese Again Proving His Worth

PrintRemember back in the preseason when New York Giants players were dropping like flies due to injury and defecting to other teams via free agency? Remember all the gnashing of teeth and complaints that GM Jerry Reese had no plan? That he was unprepared? That he was clueless?
When training camp began, Reese said "We like the guys we have right now." When the injuries and defections began to pile up, there was plenty of skepticism. Reese, though, stayed the course:
"The perception is that we are not doing a lot. We had a game plan and we are sticking to our game plan," Reese said."We feel good about our roster and we have a strong roster. We will continue to try to make it stronger.
"We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time."
The Giants are 4-2, leading the NFC East, and so far Reese is being proven right. He trusted his talent evaluation over the past few seasons, believed in the players on the roster who had not yet had an opportunity, and his faith is paying off.
- Steve Smith has five catches and no touchdowns for Philadelphia. Victor Cruz, Smith's replacement, has 21 catches and three scores.
- Kevin Boss has seven catches in three games for Oakland. Jake Ballard has 15 catches in six games for the Giants, and is showing that he should at least be able to equal what Boss did a season ago.
- Barry Cofield is playing well for Washington. Linval Joseph and Rocky Bernard, though, are doing just fine for the Giants -- at a fraction of the cost.
- Shaun O'Hara and Rich Seubert are still out of the league, while Will Beatty is showing that he can be a capable left tackle and David Baas is showing promise at the center spot.
- The signing of Steve Weatherford has been a big boost to the special teams.
There is more than half the season yet to be played. Undeniably, injuries have left the Giants razor-thin in a number of areas. Once again, though, Reese has proven that he does know what he is doing. Really, should there have ever been any doubt?

I agree with this article but...
The true test is coming. When I look at the 5 games from hell , I can’t help but shudder at least a little. And I know I blaspheme, but even though I have thorougly enjoyed Philly downward turn, we all know they can’t possible finish as badly as they’ve started. However, if they do come out of this stretch with a winning record, I will lead the JR parade myself!
@ New England Patriots
@ San Francisco 49ers
Philadelphia Eagles
@ New Orleans Saints
Green Bay Packers
would be ok with 2-3
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones,Jacquian Williams,Paysinger...Maybe not..
Me too
But I also feel that none of those teams are unbeatable. I think we can beat the Pats and the Saints. Not as confident about the Pack and the 49ers. I think the difference between 2-3 and 3-2 over that stretch is the Eagles.

Green Bay
is obviously the most worrisome but I agree that these other teams are beatable. The Pats are amazing at home and its so tough to sweep a tough division rival like Philly. Plus the Saints and 49ers games are both on the road as well. It is a brutal stretch regardless but not impossible to come out 3-2
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
agreed
but even after that stretch we have Dallas twice, Washington, and the Jets so we would have to sweep those to finish 11-5 which is probably the record needed to assure a playoff spot
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
we olse 1 Dallas game an go 10-6

MAKE IT WORK!!!
yes
but will 10-6 be good enough? it wasnt last year
I'm looking for Ray Finkle.....and a clean pair of shorts.
10-6 will win the East.
Eagles would have to go 8-2 to get to 10-6 and the Cowboys would have to go 8-3 to get to 10-6. That’s not happening. And does any one think the Redskins are going to stay in it with no Qb?

My question of Boss is
How well would he have played if he was still with us this year? With him around we would have not lost at least one the the games we have lost this year. We would have been 5-1 at least and he would have had a lot more yards here with us than he has there.
This is not on JR since Boss left on good terms and his on his own.

Yes my bad it was 1 INT
The thing is Eli and Boss combo was good for a TD somewhere in that game.
When I made that first comment I was just making a point that Boss would have had better numbers if he was still with us. I did not intend to start a debate/controversy.
New York Football Giants Zindabad!
Let's Go Giants!
Boss made a money grab
and good for him, it’s what any smart athlete hopes to acheive with the limited years they have to earn a living playing a game.
But if you put your TV on mute during the games you’d swear he’s still on the field for the Giants. Ballard is every bit the receiver that Boss was, if not better. We didn’t lose anything when we lost him other than a fan favorite.
Would his numbers be better here? Yeah, they’d probably be almost exactly the same as Ballard’s
You down wit JPP?
I guess I just don't know why you would assume such a thing.
Boss was a fine player, but I don’t ever recall thinking to myself “Damn, we could have won that one if we had Boss out there!”

It was the first game
Boss was a good another cushion for Eli at that point of time.
LIke I said earlier that the point I was making that Boss’ numbers would have been a lot better if he was still with us and could have helped win us an extra game. My statement was in sympathy for Boss that he would have have had better numbers with us and could have helped us win an extra game.
I am happy with our current WRs and TE and we did not lose Wash game because of not having Boss.

Boss was injured for the first three weeks.
If he’d come back, we might not have kept Ballard, then it would’ve been Beckum and Bear. We could just as likely been 3-3 if he was still here.

Boss's receiving numbers vs Ballard's
Gotta remember Boss is playing for the NFL’s top rushing team, and Ballard for one of the worst, so Boss is going to be doing a lot of run-blocking. Also Ballard has a better quarterback throwing him the ball.
So then Eli might have made Boss a better palyer,
much like he’s making Ballard a better player? impossible!

for the record...
I think Canty is playing “fine”….
I did kinda think he’d be more visible though….
TeamJPP
and did that guy from Wash SB site really say Cofiled is playing at a Pro Bowl level
can this be substantiated?
TeamJPP
I wonder what they base that on.. not that I see enough Skins games to say otherwise..
I can point to the obvious ones
1. Canty and Bro play dif positions .
2. Canty demands a double team allowing Tuck or Osi/JPP to have single blocking.
3. The Redskins alow a whopping 4.57 YPR Thats like 22nd in the league .. for the record, even the Giants are better. :O/

Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones,Jacquian Williams,Paysinger...Maybe not..
Bro played every DT position there is
Canty plays 3 tech when Linval is on the field….Bro did that last year at a higher level.
Canty plays 43 nose when Rocky is in, Bro did that for 4 years and was the reason Freddie boy was able to be so effective.
Bro is a better player, no question about it IMHO.

I do think that JR and the Giants were definitely talking to Barry throughout his FA search…I think they may have even extended an offer as well, but obviously it wasn’t close enough to Washington’s offer to make him stay.
but it’s not like they just cut him loose.
TeamJPP
Bro also plays on 3rd downs as a rush 3 tech last year and this year, Canty does not typically play 3rd downs for us this year.

I've liked Canty
In our scheme, the DT has to pay run D first. How often do we see teams run at Canty?
2nd, they have to push the pocket. Yeah sacks are great, but our DTs have got to push the pocket back so that the QB can’t escape by stepping up. He does a great job of that.
Canty’s a glue guy, helps the D stick together.
It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

SEPT 25 - Giants 29 - Eagles 16
The Smith to Victor comparisons are not fair, they are not using SS correctly, but i do love Cruz
also “should at least be able to equal what Boss did a season ago.
•Barry Cofield is playing well for Washington. Linval Joseph and Rocky Bernard, though, are doing just fine for the Giants — at a fraction of the cost.”
Thats a little misleading because you omitted Chris Canty who is overpaid if your going to use Barry’s money as part of the argument. Not to mention Rocky restructured. This nothion that $12.5 million gauranteed over 6 years for a five year highly productive starter is a little off in my estimation. He has always and still plays better than Canty so i think he was a loss, but i guess the point is we are not hurting from him leaving considerably.

An optimist is a person that falls off the empire state building and after 50 floor says so far so good!
not misleading at all Blue...
they knew that they had spent the $$ on Canty and couldn’t go higher with Coefield, so what they did is to get good value for Bernard and use Linval too! Just the business of the game. Canty is earning his keep so far, his number could be a little better though.

Your right 64 but
Canty should have been asked to restructure, his contract is not fitting IMO but hey the guy is solid but with all that size and athleticism, not to mention now playing 3 tech, he could do more. I love that hes a Giant but his contract is a little too much for me, especially when so many always bring up Barry’s #’s.

Kevin Boss has seven catches in three games for Oakland. Jake Ballard has 15 catches in six games for the Giants, and is showing that he should at least be able to equal what Boss did a season ago.
All I think is you could throw scarecrows and blow up dolls into this offense and Eli will make them successful.

So what you're really saying is
Boss subpar performance in Oakland: Eli’s fault.
Smith’s lack of performance in Philly: Eli’s fault.
Let’s at least try to be objective here.

Reese is a good GM!
He has spent years in the Giants organization, learning and watching the ins and outs of this demanding job! I forget who it was but it was a BBV’er who had comprised a listing of all of JR’s draft picks. And in the final analysis his picks proved to be helpful to the organization. Very few if any TRUE busts! Overall a decent job! But always room for improvement!
If I had one thing to say it is that I wish they would try to groom the talent much earlier than later!

the cap has forced thier hand a bit this year in terms of getting rookies on the field, but it’s always been part of Coughlin’s M O to have the rookies sit and learn behind vets if there was even an average vet available.

Yes he deserves an applause
Well his staff does, namely Marc Ross…he is the one who avtually rates and ranks all players not to mention putting the draft board together.
Reese’s accomplishments are really Osi and Kiwi and those guys cause he was to accorsi what Ross is to him now.
All in all its a top flight staff but Marc Ross deserves major props for the players we champion Reese for now.

There is a reason why Reese is getting paid pretty well to make personnel moves for this team instead of just letting the fans vote on it.

kinda with ya on this one Drizzy
My problem is, I don’t feel like I know anything more about what this team will do in the long run, than I did during training camp.
I think I’m gonna reserve judgement until after the San Fran game. that should be a really good litmus test for these guys. I’m willing to discount the Pats game if we fall flat, due to the fact that Brady will probably have another field day at home, but I feel like the 9ers and the Giants are both in the same boat, and that is the type of game I wanna see them show up in.
You down wit JPP?

I still don't buy into the Bills being that great.
I think they are much improved, but they will come back down to earth before too long.
I hope I’m wrong cause that would mean the Giants are better than my brain is willing to give them credit for being.
You down wit JPP?
I'm not personally sold on the Bills as an "elite" team myself...
I’m kind of just wondering, if the Giants play well against the Niners, that’s going to be the game that convinces you? Cause I’m not really sold on the Niners either…

I think they are at our level
They’ve got great talent at alot of positions, Gore, Willis, the O-line, Davis and a secondary that controlled (as controlled as it gets anyway) Megatron, and it looks like they know how to win games, with the ground game.
This to me represents a real threat. Now throw in the fact that we have to travel to their house and I’d say we’re gonna be dogs in that game. I’d love to see if they can beat a team like that.
You down wit JPP?
One worry is that
We are going to play some real good teams in a row and many of them will be coming off their bye weeks to play us.

sometimes teams lose a bit of rhythm during the break.
@Patricia_Traina Under TC, the Giants are 53-24 when they rush for 100+ yards and 15-25 when they don't.
also
looking ahead at the schedule, if they want to get to 10-6 (just throwing out a number that I think makes the playoffs this year) That is definitely a game they gotta win.
You down wit JPP?
No doubt...
Harbaugh is a lot like Coughlin in his coaching style, it will be interesting to see how that one turns out.

also of note. . . JR pulled the plug on previous draftees not panning out as hoped
like, for example, Phillip Dillard (2010 4th round), who got cut and signed to the practice squad. Adrian Tracey is another (2010, 6th round).
A lot of people knocked him for, among other things, sticking blindly to his pet draftees.
But in fact he was willing to cut to make room for guys like Jones, Herzlich, Patsinger and Williams.

Kudos to Jerry Reese!
I was disappointed when Steve Smith went to the Eagles and Plaxico signed with the Jets. However, due to the superior scouting of JR, they have done nothing and our receivers-Nicks, Ham, Cruz, Ballard-have been great!
What happened to Paysinger? He was good in the pre-season. Is he playing on special temas? I see Greg Jones and Jacquain Williams (thank god for his speed, he can run rings around Deon grant), but not Paysinger.
he's behind Boley on depth at WLB. . .
doing some specials.
Hasn’t seen much time yet.
The coaches this week talked about getting him and Herzlich a bit more into the rotation later in the season, but they always say things like that, so let’s wait and see.

If you can draft at least one stud in each draft you’ve done well in my opinion.
I’m awaiting for the Prince to make an appearance as well as Da’ Rel Scott to be given more playing time because I think one or both of those may be another stud in waiting.

That stat about Smith is an eye opener considering how much the Eagles like to throw the ball.
SS is buried in depth chart
He is not fully healthy and waaaay down on depth chart.

Well what do you expect
You know SS going from the Giants to the already existing dream team. He had no chance to begin with,
New York Football Giants Zindabad!
Let's Go Giants!
Smith was
a great slot receiver, but he does pop the ball up for Interception onces in a while
He is still a very good player, but he is costing himself millions not coming back to the Giants
Althrough with the depth the Giants has at WR, it is easy for the Giants to replace them
Alot of hard games left
With the beast of our schedule I sure hope the Defense wakes up at some point.
You've got one heck of a man crush going there Ed
1. I’m very excited about Cruz, I have been since I first saw him in preseason last year. The kid has a knack for making spectacular catches and doing something with them. That being said comparing him to Smith is, well, foolish. Very different receivers for very different uses. Smith is a possession receiver. He was Eli’s security blanket and a third down machine. Cruz is an explosive big play receiver. How is our third down conversion stat going this year? Yeah, not very good. Let’s also acknowledge that Cruz has benefited from being able to see some increased game time due to thinness at the WR position for the Giants. The Eggs have a lot of guys to catch the ball.
2. Yup, Ballard is just about equal to Boss in catches. He has not been as good as Boss at blocking though. Some of us were of the position that Boss wasn’t the bees knees to begin with and the goal should have been to upgrade that position not just hold serve.
3. Perhaps your biggest stretch to compare bro to Joseph and Rocky. You’ve got two guys trying to fill in the role that was handled by one guy before and even with that I think those two guys combined are playing less snaps than Bro is (or did for us). Fewell is pulling the DTs every chance he gets. We are still paying big money to the DT position to Canty. A guy that many want to claim was the reason for Bro’s success, but being that Bro is still succeeding and Canty is not making Joseph and Rocky equally as good there is a chink in that argument. We’ve also used up a 2nd round pick on a DT the past two drafts, so just how confident is Reese in this position?
4. People weren’t crucifying the guys for not bringing back O’Hara and Suebert. We all love those guys but can accept age and injury has ended their careers. The beef is Reese clearly should have known that was coming. I’m not ready to say the OL is all good. They have played one good game against the Bills. The Bills happen to rank near dead last in every defensive category and were without their best defensive lineman. Outside of that game they have looked awful. The run game has been non existent and only Eli’s pocket savy and quick decision making has kept him alive.
5. Weatherford, shocking. Why did we go all of last season with such a train wreck at punter?
Our problems on 3rd down have a lot more to do with us being in 3rd and 7+
due to the lack of an effective running game. I’m not saying he wouldn’t help but our struggles on 3rd down are much deeper than SS.
I’ve watched Bro (as you like to call him) this year and he’s not setting the world on fire by any means. Good to above average player who gives you everything every sunday.
Weatherford has been OK, again nothing to go nuts over. We went through all the bullshit with Dodge last year and he really looked good in pre season so I was ready to give it another go.
Banned from GangGreenNation for being a troll for this ONE post after somebody classified the Giants as a LUCKY organization.
He's a bitter Jets fan what do you expect?

Still a Long Way to Go
While I agree that Jerry Reese is a good GM, to judge his performance this year by only six games vs teams with a combined record of 12-20 is short-sighted. The Giants schedule was so easy early on that 4-2 should be looked at as a disappointment. The Giants have had the easiest schedule in the NFL so far and have the hardest schedule remaining, we won’t know if Reese’s moves (or lack of moves) really paid off until we play the good teams left on our schedule. The goal this year wasn’t to beat up on the bottom half of the league- it was to make the play-offs and make a run once they get there. There is still a long way to go before they get a chance to do that.
Good news is that the bye is coming at good time and we should be getting a lot of key contributers back- hopefully the additions of Tuck, Snee, Prince, Barden and Koets give this team the lift it needs to beat the best in the NFL. They need to improve to beat teams like the Pats, Packers and Saints. If they play these teams with the same level of effort they gave the Bills last Sunday they will be blown off the field.
It's amazing what a few wins will do......
Everything looks better when you win. It’s a long season. Plus these beat writers have to post something.
