Giants' Game Ball Goes To Jason Pierre-Paul

in Sprint Game Ball of the Week
Email
PrintWell, this sucks. For the fifth time in six weeks, we are giving a game ball to someone from the losing team. And just like in Ed's Kudos and Wet Willies, the only player even remotely worthy of this honor is defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, a bright spot amid lots of dark ones as the Giants were embarrassed at home, 23-10, to the Redskins on Sunday.
JPP is becoming a regular here, and Sunday he racked up 11 tackles (5 assists) and a sack--the only sack of the day on Redskins' QB Rex Grossman, and one in which JPP had a straight path to the QB and just leveled him. It's worth noting that it was also a clean hit, so, unlike many other plays in which the Giants did something good, this was a positive play that did not draw a flag. We'll even let slide that JPP lost track of who had the ball on the Darrell Young's touchdown run, because, well, nobody else, including the Fox camera crew, knew who had the ball either.
Also, it's becoming more and more evident that in only his second season, Pierre-Paul has become a force and a leader on this defense. With 13.5 sacks, JPP trails only Jared Allen, Jason Babin and DeMarcus Ware -- and even though those players all play in the NFC, Pierre-Paul still deserves Pro Bowl consideration.

Wasn't it refreshing to see
HOW a defense is suppose to play last night, ah those were the days!

Very few teams play defense this year
Worst tackling i have ever seen in my life in the NFL……i hope we never have a lock out again, this is bad.

But Eli Will Have The Rings!!!

But with the new practice rules under the CBA
it might not get any better

Yes but tackling has been horible in the NFL for years now.
Everyone wants to smash people with their shoulder instead of wrapping up.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
No shite What's so hard about wrap up and drive?
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Too much emphasis on punching the ball out...
I was always taught to hit the belt..block the belt..You hit them hard enough, then
A) They will fumble at times
B) They won’t feel much like running at you after awhile

That is what happens
when you draft linebackers in the first two rounds.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
here we go again...
Those were 3-4 teams. They did draft linebackers then just as recently they drafted their pass rushing DEs for the 4-3 where linebackers are not as pivitol.
yep - here we go again
I’m sure I’m wrong along with the other analysts who have said it’s a mistake that the Giants have not addressed this need.
Remember that LB that deflected the game winning pass at the end of the SF game. Yep – first rounder. How dare they do that.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Are you talking about the NYG-SF game?
That wasn’t a LB. That was Justin Smith, a DE. Also, it wouldn’t have been the game-winning pass. It was going to be for a first down on game-tying drive.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross

that was patrick willis
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
no it wasn't
Patrick Willis was busy dry humping Jake Ballard which the refs missed.
He used a Sanduski move on 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..."
again
SF plays a 3-4, where linebackers are a top priority.
I hear you - you think we're good to go at LB on this team. Gotcha
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Draft
It was addressed last draft and with UFAs. You cannot put big time money in 4-3 Lbers. They are young at the position – J Will Paysinger and G Jones have shown some flashes that they will be good players. Its their rookie seasons without a full offseason program.
Do not forget SIntim, who I am not sure can be a 4-3, and Goff who definitely has shown the ability to be a starting LB are there next season too.
We disagree - but I respect your opinion. I hope you're right
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
thats fair
I am not saying they are “stacked” at Lber. But they have players that can play the position in Boley and Goff, and a bunch of young guys Reese acquired that as badshaw points out – we cna hoepfully get one starter out of.
Im just saying Reese is not going to put a bigtime player in that position. he is putting the money elsewhere and I think that maybe wise in this scheme.
Especially with this 5-2-2 craze going on- They are looking for these safty/LB hybrids. Which reminds me- lets see what happens with Chad Jones. he maybe the perfect fit for that. Eventhough I prefer the straight 4-3 base to that 5-2-5 I think you need to have that hybrid guy in this passing league.
5-2
I guess its just called a 5-2. 5-2-5 would be 12 and a penalty!
Do they have enough players left for a 12 men on the field penalty??
"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..."
you think he would know
what to do in his own scheme?
Yes and shitting his own pants would be involved..
"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..."
yeah its easy
the first guy holds his arms out and says:
“I thought you had him?”
and then the second guy holds his arms out and says:
“I thought YOU had 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..."
Well, we can only really get 1 starter out of JWill/Jones/Herz/Pay/Sintim
Since Goff goes back to MLB and Boley will be at 1 OLB spot (barring they cut/trade him or he gets seriously injured) until his contract expires.
Boley should have acted as if the Skins were his kids
maybe then we could have gotten some more production out of him.
Quinn must go !!
I thought SF plays a 4-3?

MLB
Ok The MLB is important but Where should the GM put priority – MLB or the DEs?
I know we like to play GM in a cap free fantasy league but this league has Salary cap. Some positions get priorities over others!
The MLB is the leader on the field along with the Safety
it’s the reason the defense has lacked leadership since AP left. We need a leader at MLB …badly
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Goff
I was at that Texan game in Houstan last season when Goff had a very good game. I thought he was stepping into that role. We’ll see if he continues to progress when he returns.
The 49ers defense is putting up numbers
that haven’t been seen since the 1985 Bears. Comparing them to any other defense in the league is unfair.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross

Truth
They havent allowed a running TD in like 35 games lol

100 yard rusher in 35 games
which is just as, if not more impressive then a rushing TD in 14 games.
another example
Of how coaching makes a difference. Same team. New coach. Better results.

You're right - he did 'fine'

You know what pissed me off about that last night?
ESPN immediately went into the “remember the World Series earthquake” crap. I’m in the Bay Area right now and found it to be a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to an event that couldn’t be confused with an earthquake. It felt like they were hoping for an earthquake because it would be big news.
Give me a break with the earthquake shit because if it was an earthquake I can promise you that you wouldn’t need Berman to explain to what was happening.

You must have been in the bay area scouting the niners for when we defeat them
in the playoffs. Good job.
I try to help when I can.
I’m having a hard time convincing them they should forfeit their playoff spot though. Stubborn bastards.

Rolles mouth
Grossman said on SiriusXM NFL radio that the Redskins’ coaching staff brought up Rolle’s comments during the team’s meeting on Saturday and were inspired entering their 23-10 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Figures...
Rolle really has me conflicted right now. I love the guy but I’m starting to realize that my high opinion of him is based completely on the things he did before he was a Giant. He needs perform to well as a Giant.

Well If we just let him play the position we brought him over to play
He might perform a little better but with all the injuries he is playing positions he is not very good at. I will give him props and playing wherever the coaches want him to play but he has got to zip up that trap.

They were loose
as evidenced by two plays of trickeration early in the game. The Giants were tight as evidenced by two drops in the first quarter. Once the game starts, the pre-game yapping doesn’t amount to much at all. I have never bought into that theory.

after the Seattle game
after the second Eagles game
I’m not going to think that after a 4th loss to a bad team.

I wonder whether they'll just go 4-WR a lot
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Tom Coughlin: "Respect all. Fear none."
Barden
will have to get some looks, can he line up in the TE spot?
I don't know I've never seen him in a blocking role...
Eli is going to need BJ and Hysnoski stay home to protect him..that’s about the only thing I can think of..
"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..."
seeing Barden line up at TE would probably mean its a passing play and the Jets would know this too
so i think you’re more likely to see 4WR. Or we’ll just sign a scrub TE and play him more often than Barden, thats actually the most likely scenario lol.
If only we made that trade for Gonzalez a few years ago
We’ve been searching for a threat at TE since Shockey.
Boss was serviceable, but hardly a threat.
