Giants Top 5 Defensive [Mis]-Plays Of The Week

beacuse they are pure, in space, football plays which these guys MUST make, regardless of scheme, playing out of position, etc. Rolle has the guy sized up, and doesn’t finish. Amukamara has inside help after the catch, and forces the receiver outside.

Pop Warner and freshman HS stuff.

On 3rd and 17 following a monster sack by JPP, I feel that he should have brought some pressure on Rex. Rex was just rocked, crowd was actually in the game, why rush 3 to give him any time at all. Bringing pressure would have caused him to look for the dump off sooner or maybe dare I say, cause a sack.

This is Giant’s football. We eat QBs, or at least we use to.

when you would run a couple of plays to ‘soften’ up the other team to other plays later.
the NFL is not that league anymore.

Each play is too valuable and I don’t think Gilbride gets that.
His system worked real well when you had a defense that would come on the field and get off within a couple minutes.

And as explosive as our offense is, and it really is when compared across the league, we need each of those plays to count even more for time of possession to hide our defensive weakness as much as possible.

HE IS NOT GETTING IT ANYMORE!!!!

coup d’etat please

I’d be seriously considering firing Fewell. Like right now.

name Guinta or Merritt or Donald Duck interim DC.

TC by co signing this non sense for this long has basically signed, sealed, and delivered his own pink.

his only saving grace would be to fire fewell….

He’s giving it all but he’s still learning. The guys who are supposed to be teaching him are either injured and out or hurt and invisible.

"I’ve been booed before and I’ve been cheered there before, and I know how to make them cheer: You show them heart. They just want to see some more fight," Pierce said. "As long as you’re still swinging, they’re good. But when you sit down and you’re on the sideline and your body language tells them otherwise, you’re going to get the reaction they got."

On where blame lies for the lack of leadership: "Being truthful, it always starts up top. It starts with Coach Coughlin. He knows that. He has to know this team better than anybody else. So he knows, ‘Who’s that one guy I can cuss him out in a meeting, I can get after his tail?’ And he’s going to say, ‘All right, you know what, I’m going to get the rest of the guys going and get after Coach and prove a point.’ I don’t know if he has enough Coach Coughlin-type guys.

On whether he agrees with Rolle saying guys need to play and practice hurt: “I was the first one to say it. I think I need to check my copyright statements. That’s just how it is. That’s the National Football League. When I came in the league, I played with guys that played 20 years in the league, Bruce Smith, Darrell Green. These guys played hurt. I watched them. I was young. I knew I could run around for a while. But I saw what these guys were doing every day. And you know what? They didn’t take every snap. But they were out there. And that’s accountability. You’re out there with your boys. I don’t like to use war terms but you’re out there with your soldiers, you’re out there with your guys. You know when things get rough, this dude’s going to be there. I think what Rolle was saying, and I hope I’m not putting words in his mouth, was he’s not sure if those guys are going to be there on Sunday. That’s how I interpreted it.”

On Rolle’s timing: “I don’t like when he did it. He delivered it after the game. I like getting to that on Wednesday or Thursday. After the game, guys are a little sensitive to it. It creates a little buzz. Wednesday and Thursday, it grabs a guy’s attention and impacts the rest of the week. And by Sunday it’s all over and done with. But after the game guys are emotional.”

How is almost blocking a field goal a “misplay?”
