Bye Week Analysis: Giants' Defense

if those two guys did not get hurt, this defense is top 10, maybe top 5

Don’t these guys prefer a press D? They have the size and enough speed.

I never have understood the preference for a softer zone D. Especially with these players.

were discussing what to do with Amukamara when he comes back.

I’m all for getting him out there right away, Andiamo wants to bring him along more slowly, but the one thing I think the 2 of us agree on is that, Prince would probably best be served starting on the outside.

Moving Cweb or more likely Ross to the slot.

As Andiamo put it this would allow him to just allow him to play football without having to overly concern himself about Fewell’s schemes.

and that is the other part of the defensive formula for the team.

Step one: pressure on the passer/stuuf the run

Step two: cause turnovers/pick the ball.

No one talks about it, but it may be that there are not as many blitzes because the coaches (PF, TC) want some guys back there to catch those hurried throws. They did make it a focus in the abbreviated training camp.

It’s also possible that they don’t want to put all their blitzes out there on film before they face New England, Green Bay and New Orleans. But I think the first reason is the bigger one.

10,000. fine for the QB hit

I hope that FUBAR is right but I don’t think he’s saving up his secrets for the second half of the season. Fewell drives me nuts. He always seems to be trying to put the square peg in the round hole. Our defense is a lot more talented than it shows. Unfortunately I feel that Fewell is not playing his players to take advantage of their strengths. I’d like to see a bit more blitzing and man coverage. Stop trying to confuse your players Fewell and let them do what they do best instead of trying to force fit them into your scheme.

I think PF has done an decent job thus far,schedule dictates that we have no choice but to be more aggresive going forward ! The move I look for more than Prince hitting the field is Tryon @ the Nickle CB ,I think that happens b4 Prince ! In any case Rolle needs to go back to his normal spot & Grant put on the shelf ! JPP 40 snaps wld make him more of a beast imo ,fresher hungrier = Beast x a trillion

However, I also think Perry is still trying to learn who he has on defense. Thus, not going to put people in a position to greatly influence the outcome of the game..

Once, the Rookies start becoming solid, and the Defensive backfield is set. I will be right there with you screaming “BRING THE RAIN!!!!!”

There was game last year where we brought heavy blitz the last 5 plays of the game to end it… the opposing offense had no answer.

I was laughing like evil ruler… laughing with glee… I wish to do that again, at some point this season.

They have been below average at best and piss poor at worst. Truth is Boley and Jwill are nickle backers who get thrown around on running plays. Kiwi has looked uncomfortable at best and completely out of place at worst (except rushing the passer). Greg Jones is flat out SLOW. I don’t want to sound like a Debbie Downer but this is what I see happening on sunday. I think they can and will get better but I don’t think the LB situation looks all that much better than in recent years.

This guysss

Hoping Tuck, Strahan and Ballard respond to my birthday tweets.
Sadly no Giants game tmrw which means the Cowboys and Redskins better lose tmrw!

But I really believe the defense has been the biggest let down. Yes, there are some individuals who are having a really good season. But for the most part, they’re performing at a below par level, IMO. I believe part of the reason is, while I believe Fewell is a good DC, I just think he’s being wayyyyyy too conservative. I mean, we’re winning right? So I guess I’m splitting hairs. But when I’m watching the games, I get very nervous everytime the defense steps on the field, regardless of who the opponent is.
