Giants At Saints: Five Things To Watch

PrintNew York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, with the reality of the situation probably being that if the Giants don't find some way to upset the Saints they can probably kiss the playoffs goodbye for a third straight season.
SB Nation New York: Scouting The Saints
Unbeaten Green Bay and two match-ups with the Dallas Cowboys loom on the horizon, but none of that will probably matter a whole lot if the Giants can't work a little magic in New Orleans this evening. Let's take a look at our 'Five Things To Watch' if the Giants aim to do just that.
1. Will Perry Fewell Finally Release The Kraken? I wrote earlier about the need for Fewell to stop holding back the Giants best defensive weapon. If the Giants don't commit to pressuring Fewell consistently no matter what it takes, they have no chance to slow the high-flying New Orleans offense. They simply have to get after Brees, who has thrown 11 interceptions this season, and not give him the opportunity to carve their secondary to pieces.
2. Can The Giants Run The Ball? Seems like we ask this question every week, and it is again at the forefront. New Orleans surrenders 5.2 yards per running play, 31st in the league. The Superdome can be a rocking place when things are going well for New Orleans. Brees can put up points in a hurry when he has the ball. The running game and winning the time of possession battle are the Giants best weapons against that -- at least theoretically, since the running game has been non-existent all season.
3. Can The Revamped Offensive Line Hold Up? Does anybody feel good about David Diehl playing left tackle? Anybody besides Diehl and his mom, I mean? I thought not. Well, the bright side is Kevin Boothe might actually be better at left guard than Diehl. And Chris Snee probably won't have food poisoning this week. So maybe, just maybe, this unit will do OK if Diehl doesn't get Eli Manning killed.
4. Will The Giants Have 'Poise In The Noise'? Coach Tom Coughlin busted out that phrase again this week -- it is one of his favorites when playing in difficult circumstances on the road. Thing is, the Giants have displayed a lack of poise too often during the past couple of seasons -- including last week when they got involved in a bunch of silly, distracting skirmishes with the Philadelphia Eagles. Stupid penalties and lack of concentration will kill the Giants if they happen in the Superdome.
5. Can The Giants Contain Darren Sproles? Of all the weapons Drew Brees has, Sproles might be the guy the Giants need to worry about most. He averages 6.8 yards per carry running the ball, has 60 pass receptions in 10 games, averages 26.5 yards per kickoff return and 9.6 yards per punt return. He presents a huge challenge for the Giants coverage teams, and for their young linebackers.

Well
I still think we can get to the playoffs without winning tonight, although it will be harder I certainly hope we do so. Neither the division nor the Wild Card will be out of reach.
I hate saying the same thing every week but… Run Blocking, Run Blocking, Run Blocking. Pass Blocking too of course after last week, but we seriously need some Run Blocking.
I think this game is very winnable, we just need to have our stuff together.
You are right
I think we can lose tonight and next week and still win out. The Cowboys are very vulnerable over the top. The Jets look like they have a ton of holes and the Redskins have more injuries than the Giants. That would put us at 10-6. The Bears have a big problem at QB which could open up the Wild Card and at 10-6 the division would be very much in play.
It could be worse. I could be a Jets fan.
I don't completely disagree, BUT....
the Giants may be toast psychologically after a 4 game losing streak and all the pressure from the media regarding another collapse, calling for TC’s job, team with no fight, etc, just may sink them.
Win tonight or next week otherwise it’s see you next year

Division
If the Giants lose tonight next, week but win out they don’t have to worry about the wild card because they will win the division
The Cowboys already have four losses and we’d hold both tiebreakers..in actuality these next two weeks could mean nothing

Win tonight is huge
We are not gonna sweep the Cowgirls. Divisional games are hard to sweep.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
So if we release the kraken...
won’t Brees be expecting this and just throw over it? Last week I was hoping that Perry was trying to do the unexpected. In hindsite, it didn’t work. I don’t like it when we are already telegraphing our intentions. Obviously we need to pressure the QB but maybe it should come from something different, like sending KP or AR in from the edges.
The Cowboys are too pitiful to hate anymore but I enjoy it.
The question is what Kraken?
Seems the Giants D has taken so many injuries. Basically we have late round rookies and a DE manning our LB spots, so their is only so much blitzing you can do without exposing the middle of the field. Unless some of the young guys step up their level of play, we are going to have to depend on the D-line to create the pressure.
by Late for Dinner on Nov 28, 2011 12:48 PM EST up reply actions
The dline alone should be a kraken
they haven’t been playing like it. Either Fewell stops the 3 man rushes and stops JPP from taking snaps at DT or they gonna need all the extra help with Tuck playing hurt. Our LB’s can’t cover anyways so Fuel really really needs to blitz more.
by The Cole Train on Nov 28, 2011 1:11 PM EST up reply actions
that unfortunately is exactly the way Perry and TC have tried to get it done all year
4 or sometime 3 will not consistently get pressure against 5, 6, or 7. Sending blitzers behind that front is what will hurry the play and force quicker reads and more mistakes. Without the pressure I don’t care how many guys ya got back there against Brees, he’ll kill ya.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
At least send four, never three, and sometimes five.
Three never gets it done. If Brees has all day he will find an open man and he will hit him.
On the flip, though, Brees is a master at beating blitzes and will find his hot read way before the blitz even gets close.
Add to this our vulnerability in the middle with young LB’s making mistakes and slow ass Grant and it will be difficult to slow down the Saints offense UNLESS, and this is very possible against the Saints on the edges, the Giants get pressure with rushing 4.
JPP as DE please

Diehl at LT is scary.

This could get ugly for Eli. Max protect may be the only way.

Fine with max protect
Nicks, Cruz and Ham (if he plays) can get open against anyone in the Saints secondary.
Yes, especially because
Greg Williams is completely blitz happy and he has a secondary that makes coverage mistakes alot, are not good tacklers, and we have WR’s who beat single coverage REPEATEDLY.

Actually I believe we have some of the best corners in the league

You are 22nd in pass defense this year
4th last year, 26th in 2009, 23rd in 2008.
Greer, Porter, Robinson, Torrence & Co are all good-to-average corners. None are great, let a lone the best. Given the blitz scheme that Gregg Williams uses, the corners are left in 1-on-1 coverage often. If they were truly “some of the best”, the pass D would be ranked higher.
Actually we are 12th in pass defense and 22nd in rush defense
And considering we are at the bottom of the barrel in sacks our DB’s are pretty good
And were 9th of all in defense

good news is Jacobs has shown
a nice ability to help out the LT position this year.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
seriously.
although can’t be any worse than this re-experimentation with LG for him. and i’m pretty sure he has some clause in his contract about playing at tackle, maybe he tries to play up to that?
maybe i’m just being a total optimist.
I see Blue, he looks glorious!
I think he might be happier
whoever Diehl was blocking was closer to Eli when he was playing guard. Now at least he’s got some time until he gets hit.

Having a rookie in for blitz pickups when you have Diehl as your LT = Eli on IR.

I'll believe Scot can't block when I see he can't block..
The kid is built like a brick shit-house..and we need him in there tonight running..I’m tired of this he can’t block jazz..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I agree
The biggest thing for young running backs to get playing time is picking up a blitz. The kid can play and he needs to show it. I’m for anything that gets him on the field and I think he’ll be more than servicable doing so, mainly because Eli can spot the blitzer almost all the time so the kid just needs to take direction. I think he’ll be fine.

with DD at LT, and an overall poor OLine is not the time and place to test Scotts ability to pick up the blitz

Yep.. Giants - last in rushing.
117 yards huh? Doubt that’ll happen tonight.. maybe after week 13.
build is only half of it tho bob
how’s his technique? have the coaches seen enough in practice to believe he can stop the blitzkrieg that is gregg williams D? either way i think he’ll be in there alot by default. why we didn’t promote Andre Brown, i just don’t know.

It's not the ability to block
It’s the ability to pick up and recognize blitzes. He can block, but if he mis diagnoses where the blitz is coming from Eli will get a blind side hit and fumble the ball.

we have covered this quite a few times. If anybody so desires, I will once again outline plays that do not involve pass blocking. I am not the OC however, so more importantly does Gilbride
have any of the plays up his sleeve?

Diehl will be fine.
I have to disagree about Diehl. Last year he was not good as a LT, but he wasn’t a complete disaster. He is completely overpowered at Guard this year and is probably not even arguably the worst starting guard in the league.
He probably gives up a couple of sacks as usual, but I think the line is upgraded by not having his man in the backfield every other down (running and passing).
We shall see.

…two match-ups with the Dallas Cowboys loom on the horizon, but none of that will probably matter a whole lot if the Giants can’t work a little magic in New Orleans this evening.
Beating the Cowboys twice puts the Giants in a decent spot to win the division. Whether or not they lose tonight, beating the Boys means they have the tie-breaker and gives the Cowboys two losses. They’d still need a little help (from the Eagles, Bucs, and Cardinals), and they will need to beat the Jets and Skins, but that’s life when it comes to making the playoffs this year.
The Giants hold their fate in their own hands depsite tonight’s outcome, and obviously winning tonight takes a little pressure off the rest of the season, but not much.

If given truth serum
I bet Diehl’s mom would admit she is scared for Eli.
My feelings personally… I’m not expecting any more than to see the Giants go out and play hard. From a scheme standpoint I am looking to see if the coaches put something together that at least gives them a chance. The situation with the injuries is, IMO, too crazy to expect much more than that.

Giants have to win 4 from here on out
and two of those must be against the Cowboys. They do that, they win the division, no matter how bad their record is versus the NFC. However, Diehl at LT is completely and utterly frightening, Eli’s iron man streak is in serious jeopardy just because of that… seriously, you can just feel the nasty hits coming.
Here's hoping Diehl steps it up tonight
I was out of the loop the past 5 days, I know Beatty had retina surgery. When will he be back?
i don't think anyone said for sure
altho i think TC said the injury was fairly serious.

they don't have to
the other teams that are in competition with them are the Bears, Lions and Falcons. The Bears almost don’t have a chance and the Lions are taking a dump. 9-7 or even 10-6 with a loss against the Porks might even make the playoffs in the wild card.
Also Diehl at LT isn’t as frightening as Diehl was at LG. He can’t pull at all an athletic DTs blow right by him. At least at LT he won’t have to deal with Cole anymore and really anyone else he has to face he’s done well against, including Demarcus Ware.

I am referring to if they want to control their own path
any other way means we have to depend on other teams to get them in, and I suspect they (and us, as fans) don’t want that.
As for Diehl at LT, here’s hoping you’re right.
Did you just give Diehl a compliment?

he has done well against Ware
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Ware has only had one game
with more than one sack vs the Giants since his first game vs us in 2005 (and that was in 2008)
I dunno if that’s Diehl being competent vs one person or Gilbride plans help for him vs Ware or what, but the past says we’ve been pretty good at neutralizing Ware

Biggest worry is Jimmy Graham

Plus, without Michael Boley I really can’t think of a coverage scheme that makes me comfortable, who’s defending him? I figured Rolle will be watching sproles most of the night, no one else matches up well against him.

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
One more thing to watch:
Herzlich. All we’ve heard of him is that he just does not make the same mistake twice. I’m looking to see if he can at least start to clean up some of the mental/technical mistakes he made last week.
I think I can speak for everybody when I say that I just hope they don’t out-coach themselves and gameplan scared (like they did in the Colts game last year). I vote they set up a 8 D-L front (4 DT’s up front, 4 DE’s behind them). That would shut down the run, and should force the Saints to Max Protect. NOBODY WOULD EXPECT THAT!
I think Herzlich on Sproles and JWill on Graham
is our best shot

That's actually my thought.
Graham is big and fast, but Prince is faster, and he does have incredible leaping ability and instincts.
My other thought is J-Will in the base package (who matches up the best out of the LB’s)
Rather
have him play the slot receiver, how is Prince their biggest corner?

according to every coach who's talked about him
going back into college, whenever Herzlich makes a mistake, or has a mistake brought to his attention, he fixes it, and rarely makes that mistake again.
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t make mistakes, but it is a testament to his work ethic and attention to detail (two qualities you want and would expect in a linebacker that could have been drafted in the top 5 or 10)

Amen to that!!!..I'll be watching this game through blood shot eyes..
Not only does the NFL give us the toughest second half schedules…they make us wait forever for the games to start..There ought to be a law..

Question
what is the most inopportune time to lose your best O-linemen, your best blitz picker upper back, and have your whole already sub par line thrown into disarray?
Answer – when you face a team that blitzes more than it breathes.
gonna be a looonngg night………
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
The Big Boy Cometh....Team Jacobs
Marines say Oorah; BBVer's say SUAMBP! say it with me - Suuaahmbp!!!!
Don't forget losing your best
Line Backer in Boley
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Ok, I have to ask
Why do people all talk about Jacobs being bad at pass blocking? I do not think I can recall him missing blocks at all and he seems to do great chip blocking and picks up blitzes as well. I can understand people saying one is better than the other but why do people talk about Jacobs pass blocking like it is a liability? Actual question, just curious.
I think he can block..I just don't think he can run effectively anymore..
“He’s lost that Lov’in feeling”..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Jacobs' blocking...
.. is actually good, if and when he gets there.
This is the reason why AB is a better complete back – he just gets to those blocks quicker.
Off Topic but...

tired of the run ,time to pass period!!
The eagle allow over 112yrds game avg and held us to 29. I don’t see the saints horrible run D having any issues with our pathedic Rush Oline. Not to say pass protection has been great but it has been the better of the two…Give it to Eli let him do his thing

i agree that Eli should have more control of the offense
but you can’t just abandon the run. the offense would go nowhere
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.

Must score TDs not FGs. Must take risks tonight on offense and defense.
We might as well take some chances since everyone expects us to play conservative and lose. Play loose with nothing to lose. We cannot settle for FG. That includes going for it on 4th down in the green zone. Max protect so Eli will survive for the two Dallas vital wins.
On defense we need to move around, blitz from unusual locations and keep it as simple as possible for our rookie LBs. Press coverage will be better than playing off. NO will get their share of points, we obviously must exceed their pace.

Hit hit & hit some more
Only way we stand a chance tonite is to win the physical battle on both sides of the LOS. If we do, I think Eli can carve up their D. Our O MUST include Barden as it provides a matchup challenge for them. Look for us to play lots of no huddle. Big Blue will be very motivated b/c of being embarrassed last week.
On D, we must rush 4 or 5 and our D-Line must keep their hands up. Brees not tall and his passes can sometimes be batted down. But the main thing for our D is HIT THEM HARD at every opportunity. It is why we lost last week, we were thoroughly outhit.
DavebrownNOT
big overstatement
“if the Giants don’t find some way to upset the Saints they can probably kiss the playoffs goodbye for a third straight season.”
Not so. More like a win would be very helpful toward their wild card chances, especially with Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta having lost to NO (quite likely that common-opponent-schedule tiebreaker could matter), and obviously over NO. But win or lose, division will most likely require beating Dallas twice. That was the casualty of last week’s miserable loss to Philly — winning that game probably would have meant having to only split with Cowboys.
I dunno, I know what he's getting at
There are a bunch of division games remaining for both teams, so technically its really too early to be doom and gloom or start saying “must win”. It isn’t like the Cowboys are incapable of melting down either.
On the other hand, If they don’t figure things out and win at least one of the next two well… I’ll just put it this way: this team isn’t exactly known for showing up in big important games late in the year. Its the NFL and anything can happen, but if they go 0 for their next 2 I’d say the smart money is not going to be on running the table the rest of the way.

Some good and inspirational news: Chad Jones
"Every component of Chad’s athleticism is getting better every week," Moran said. "When muscle strength, muscle endurance, foot and running speed and flexibility reach their peak, Chad Jones will play a role on the Giants defense and special teams. Carter, Derrick, and myself all feel that this will happen during the spring of 2012."
"I predict that by May 2012, Chad will be the strongest he has ever been and running within one-tenth of a second of his best 40-yard dash time," he added.
He ran a 4.84 40 16 months after he almost died/lost his leg
that is incredible. He will be a fan favorite when he does return to the field.
He should have been more careful..I'm glad he is recovering greatly..
But he hasn’t contributed squat yet..We could have used him this year if he wasn’t stupid..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
He made a mistake I would hardly call him stupid
Everyone does. He almost DIED for it so I’d say he learned his lesson.
I hope so..don't get me wrong I'm very happy..
But he did make a stupid choice…I tell my kids when they are stupid..that was stupid..period..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I bet his Father told him he was stupid..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Agreed
I just don’t think it should be held against him at this point. Promising career derailed by near-death and potential amputation is punishment enough.
I'm not holding anything against him..thank God he's alright and working hard to
Make a comeback..and it sounds like he is..which is awesome..All kids make miistakes..and alot of them get dead..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
He never got the DUI test
because the cops didn’t smell alcohol/drugs and Jones didn’t appear to be drunk/on drugs. I don’t know how the cops can determine that at a serious car wreck but they did.
So
if it was just an accident…why are people being so harsh on him?
Manning audibles " Omaha Omaha "
I'm not being harsh on that kid..I'm just syaing he made a stupid decision..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Hey I here what your saying
I still think that could of happened to anyone but when your expected to be accountable to a team I can understand how some fans expect responsibility.
Manning audibles " Omaha Omaha "
Yeah
He even admits that he was “wild and loose” after signing his contract with the Giants.
Hell yeah it is..good for him..I'm happy for him
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
It happened around 5am
and the accident was horrific. So horrific that he was deemed to have been operating the car carelessly AKA speeding, etc.
It was horrific..and he damn near lost a leg..I'm sure they tested his blood
and that is easy to find out..They always test for that..The job at hand was to save his life..but I’m sure they tested him for booze..All you have to do is pull up the Police report..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Okay..that's good..just speeding?
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Oh okay thanks..still dumb but at least he wasn't drinking
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I don't remember but I'm sure he was..out celebrating..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
BTW Chad will be on the Giants sideline tonight
perhaps we can get a Colonel Gadson-eque inspiration from his road to recovery? Not comparing the two, but still.
Adrenaline can make you feel invincible. He was excited in a powerful car...
He is certainly paying for it every day based on the description of his training regimen.
I just hope
these other kids learn from his mistake…I heard he was a heck of a hitter on the field. Won two national championships at two sports. We sure could use his hard hitting this year.
Manning audibles " Omaha Omaha "
That's what parents always hope for..that kids will learn from the
mistakes others make..I always point out the tragedies that occur to my kids..and tell them what can happen if you have poor judgement..Hopefully Chad will become a poster child to teach kids..He could do that now..in fact..We all need to take care of our kids..steer them in the right direction..they’ll go through a period of revolt..but if you stick to your message, they’ll get it.
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I'm really happy to be able to see him there tonight..It truly is
a remarkable story..The progress he has made..

Rush 5 ALL game. Make kiwi blitz from the lb spot wherever he thinks is the best place to blitz. Press man cover 1. Do that the D will do it's job.
by MIKES92 on Nov 28, 2011 5:31 PM EST via mobile reply actions
They should play Kiwi like Dalls plays Ware..
Teams never know where he’s coming from..He watches the play clock and then moves..He leaves no time to re-adjust..

Agee
I think the title for such an honor is called eagle L B . He get’s to line up were ever he want’s.
I remember when they gave the honor to Dennis Byrd from the jets right before he got hurt.
Manning audibles " Omaha Omaha "
Yeah if you watch that guy..He looks like he's commiting from one spot..
Then he watches the playclock..and moves to another spot..Too late he’s coming full steam after you..from somewhere else..Even though he is a Cowboy he is really fun to watch..The offense lines up, the QB points at him the center calls the blocking assigments and then poof he’s on the other side attacking you..Very difficult to defend that guy..
