Giants Goodies At SB Nation New York

We all know that Perry Fewell is a disciple of the Cover 2 philosophy and he implements it sometimes.
And there are some people on this site who are proponents of it, because it "hides" our linebackers.

However, for Cover 2 and zone coverage to work best, you actually need good linebackers. Linebackers will make or break your zone.
Linebackers in zone coverage have arguably the most important responsibility; the underneath routes and the middle of the field. That’s why you see a lot of teams attack zones by designing plays where receivers will be in between the linebacker and the safety.

Therefore, because linebackers have the most important responsibility, the Giants shouldn’t use zone coverage schemes.
We all saw how confused the linebackers were.
It’s much easier for rookies if you just tell them to cover receiver X, rather than cover this area. If two receivers converge, the rookies over-analyze and in the end, they don’t protect their zone at all.

You know where our strong suit is? It’s with the pass rush and corners. What scheme do you with these strengths? You play press-man coverage.
We have physical corners that excel in man, especially with Webster and now Amukamara. Combine that with our pass-rush and QB’s will not only have no time to throw it, but no where to throw it too.
The problem with zone is that even if we pressure the QB, it won’t matter if the receivers are in open spaces in zone coverage because of poor linebackers.

We have to implement our defense based on our strong suits.
The reason why the Bears excel in zone coverage is because they have Urlacher and Briggs. We don’t. But we have very good corners and a great pass rush.
Use our strengths, rather than trying to "hide" our weaknesses.

Did Jerry Jones or one of the other NFC owners put the Giants schedule together. Obviously whoever made this schedule was trying to make sure the Giants don’t make it to the post season.. Don’t know if there is another team with such a brutal schedule and even if we have success with the remaining schedule we are gonna be so beat up not sure how far we could go,
Can one of you experts break down why the Giants are the only team in the division playing both Green bay and the Saints.,

There are issues on offense and defense both with coaching and playing. However, OL is the real culprit. 29 yards! Not play calling.

Francesa talked about it. Anyone hear what he said?

second night after the eagles game I didn’t have a good sleep.. Not sure if it would have been better if we just got blown out.
 This site’s open thread are great during the games because it gives the feel off being at the same place with a group of Giants fans but I need to find a way to stop getting so worked up and just in a bad mood after a loss.

To get your mind off the Giants.

Or think how bad the Giants were early in the year they went to the Super Bowl. Who would have thought they would win.

It’s only entertainment. The worse the Giants do, the better our draft position.

Feel better?

So we start some rookies at LB. Can’t be any worse than what we’ve seen. I think Boley can hold Herz and Jones together enough, or go the three safety route. Tuck is invisible. Zero penetration, and can’t get there to stop the run either.

gilbride and fewell baffle me. Our oline and running game is turgid. Our defense seems to get picked apart by 10-15 yd passes over the middle.

Can we kick Coughlin upstairs after the season.?

I think we match up well with the saints. They haven’t really dominated this yr. Def not the same team when we had you know who as our def cord. Hopefully im rite because it will be a really long weak. Lol

We need to earn our playoff spot. Win out and we have no issues period. That what needs to happen. So Giants all this anger you have better fuel it for next few weeks because it maybe over come monday night. We ARE NOT getting a wild card. Not with the loses we have.

We have so many injuries onceagain which seems to happen every year now. Now we go to N.O. …..Anyone remember what happened last time? Im not sure this team is any better equipped to handle elite passing teams this year. They could easily be 8-8 again if they lose these next two games.
