Coughlin Talks About ... Injuries -- What Else Is There?
As you probably could have figured out without me telling you, New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin spent almost his entire press conference today discussing various injured players and how the Giants would react to the players they will be missing Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.
Let's go through the rundown.
- Coughlin said the detached retina suffered by Will Beatty is "a very serious situation" and had no update on how long Beatty's recovery would take.
- David Diehl seems like an obvious candidate for left tackle in Beatty's absence, but the coach did not commit to that. He said Stacy Andrews is also a possibility.
- Wide receiver Mario Manningham missed practice with a knee issue, and said Manningham "has to work tomorrow" if he hopes to play Monday.
- Coughlin said linebacker Michael Boley and running back Ahmad Bradshaw are possible for Monday. Neither practiced on Friday, but they did do some running.
- Right tackle Kareem McKenze and defensive end Justin Tuck both practiced in limited fashion. Coughlin's remarks seemed to indicate he expected both to play Monday night.

Yup. We're going to continue to play Tuck at 60 percent. When will this staff wise up, bite the bullet, shut him down, and
move Kiwi to end. Go with Boley, Herz and Jones. It’s just how it’s going to have to be. Rush no less than 4, pressure the QB and start attacking instead of retreating. Also, it is obvious that JR HAS TO, HAS TO, HAS TO draft on the O side of the ball this year, and start getting into FA to shore up what he can’t draft. The “we have a plan” and “we got our man” just isn’t going to cut it this year. Yes, I get the injuries. I do. But other than Beatty, this O line has been in the games. They still can’t run the ball. Bradshaw and Jacobs are NOT the answer. It is time JR. Can’t ignore it anymore. Just can’t.
i agree an OL should be drafted
Jacobs is in his last year here so they probably will draft a RB. Bradshaw is a good back though. he’s not part of the problem. Kiwi should stay at LB, he’s starting to figure it out more. he was our best defensive player against the Eagles and probably has been all year. let Osi and JPP stay at end. and I mean STAY at end.

agreed on all counts
why take away the guy looking like our best LB, and a beast to boot? The Giants have messed wtih Kiwi’s development already.
And re: OL, the reason I feel good about it is because in my very limited time paying attention, it seems like 1st-round OLs tend to be safe bets. Any draftniks have feedback on that?

Not a draftnik
but a read an article that supports your theory
“http://www.scoresreport.com/2009/04/17/which-position-is-the-safest-bet-in-the-first-round/”
with the OL
If they suck at OT, plug them in at OG. Can easily convert to C as well. Easier position to learn. Either you have a ZBS or power scheme.

He's not a problem
but relying on him to be the only back is a problem.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
You can't move Kiwi to end, he's our best LB.
You really want to take our best Lb, our only LB that has a clue what he’s doing right now, and move him back to end, leaving JWill and Herz starting at Lb with possibly Paysinger? No friggin way.

And in addition
PF and KG missed practice because they had swelling in their respective heads. Apparently, continuing to pound your head against the wall doing the same thing week in and week out will do that.

This is a trap for Saints
please advise if one “expert” anywhere picks the Giants to win on Monday. I invoke the Constanza theory, go the opposite way and pick Big Blue to win. expect Jacobs to have a breakout game with none of the men home fans booing him.

Sacrifice
I would love for the team to sacrifice a year, so we can draft a franchise QB like the Colts are doing. Eli is not getting any younger. A QB needs a couple years to learn the system.
And offensive linemen is another desperate need.
no on a QB
Eli still has about 5-6 good years left and that’s too long to mentor someone. that may be a good idea in about 3 years. an OL has to be the big target in the draft unless someone drops all the way to them and it’s just too much to pass up
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.

If this coaching staff would go with the Bill Parcells philosophy of go with the players who are producing and not just stick with my vets out of loyalty, this team would win a lot more often. The stubborn old Coughlin crap has us consistently underperforming.

The injuries pile up,
the losses mount, the tackles are missed, one line doesn’t block and the other doesn’t pressure, stupid penalties abound, and what do ya expect?
I am very interested to see how we weather the remaining portion of the season. We’re in it ‘till we’re not.
Play on, press on, dig and push, scratch, crawl, and climb. Now’s the time to prove them all wrong. Whip it, whip it good. Bring us home a win from the Bayou.
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...
When is the last time the Giants played a sound and complete game?
We don’t know which Giants team is going to show up on a weekly basis. As Rolle said, there’s no good reason for the Giants to be winning games in the last 2 minutes every week.

Turf
So many years with so many injuries. Could the turf have something to do with it?
Well I know the new Giants stadium (I refuse to call it anything else and consider the Jets just tenants)
Fixed the turf problems..but other stadiums still have problems and do cause injuries..Artificial turf especially stinks..

We lost Hixon to that knee injury the first day they practiced on that new stuff a couple of years ago. I hate the artificial turf. But it is useless to complain about it. They aren’t going back to grass with two teams playing on it.

Hand wringing
No sense in bitchin about it – there is only so much you can do.
Sit Tuck, except for maybe certain circumstances. Play Osi and JPP. Leave Kiwi at LB. Play Herzlich ( sp) if Boley cannot go.
On D, roll the dice. Even the best QB can be taken out of rythm by a constant stream of DL in his face. Do the Giants have a choice? They cannot cover the middle of the field. Press coverage and all out rush.
Play Diehl at LT with help and Andrews at LG. Anyone but Boothe. He is as average as they come. The OL cannot run block so throw the ball 45 times. See what happens. Lots of screens to Scott.
I am going to have fun watching this game. No expectations of a win but high expectations that they come out to play. If they are aggressive at least they have a chance.
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
Herzlich is a SAM
