Top Five Giants Defensive Plays Of The Week -- Real Ones!

PrintWow! Finally, a week where I can actually do the Gillette Pro Glide Top Five Defensive Plays of the Week post the way it's supposed to be done. The New York Giants really did make five defensive plays Saturday against the New York Jets that are worth talking about. More than five, in fact.
So, let's do this. These will be in the order in which they happened, not in any order of importance.
1. Jacquian Williams' open-field stop of LaDainian Tomlinson -- The Jets led 7-3 early in the second quarter and had driven from their own 13-yard line into Giants' territory, where they faced third-and-four. Mark Sanchez hit Tomlinson with a pass in the flat, but Williams was right there to stop Tomlinson short of the first down, forcing a punt. The Giants were on the ropes at that point, and Williams' solid play squelched a potential scoring drive by the Jets. Williams, in fact, did this to Tomlinson twice during the game.
2. Jason Pierre-Paul's sack right before halftime -- After the Giants had taken a 10-7 lead the Jets drove the ball to the Giants' 19-yard line and faced a third down with 23 seconds left in the half. Pierre-Paul sacked Sanchez, ending the drive and forcing the Jets into a 44-yard field-goal attempt that Nick Folk missed. That enabled the Giants to keep the lead at the half.
3. Justin Tuck's sack of Sanchez -- Early in the third quarter Tuck made the kind of play he used to make all the time. Coming off the edge he pursued Sanchez relentlessly, first leaping to force him to pull the ball down and then chasing him until he dragged him to the ground. What made this play stick out for me is the fact that Sanchez had a receiver wide open in the flat for what could have gone as a huge gain, but Tuck simply would not allow Sanchez to get rid of the ball. The Jets eventually punted.
4. Jacquian Williams' fumble recovery in the end zone -- This was a gift from Sanchez and Jets center Nick Mangold, but somebody had to recover the ball. Fortunately for the Giants it was Williams. This would have been disastrous if a Jets player had managed to come up with the ball for a touchdown.
5. Chris Canty's sack of Sanchez for a safety -- This is the play that really turned the game in the Giants' direction. After a Giant punt the Jets had the ball at their own eight-yard line with 2:24 to play, trailing 20-14. One drive from the Jets offense and the game could have turned out differently. Canty did not let that happen, however, breaking through the line and wrapping up a flustered Sanchez before he could get rid of the ball.
Final thoughts
Amazingly, he have not talked about the Giants two interceptions. We haven't talked about Dave Tollefson's key sack. There are probably other plays I haven't even thought of.
What was your favorite defensive play?

Do the Giants have a playmaking Linebacker on their hands?!?!?!?
Sure do.
Interesting to see what happens because all of our playing making LB’s seemingly play the same spot.

kid just needed time to get his “sea legs” so to speak. A rookie from USF on our team is bound to be “raw” but full of potential haha.

was thinking that
I wonder what Round Reese will make his USF pick this April?
when they scouted JPP in 2010
they saw Williams and knew to keep an eye on him for the next draft. Maybe they did it again with another guy when they looked at Williams

Giants are young, and injured... and loosing.
Sounds like a JR RB
Power, speed, not necessarily so shifty

He's gotten better as the year has progressed, no doubt.
JR and TC after the draft said this:
Junior college kid, so he’ll be behind a little bit with regard to high level of play. Came there late, to South Florida, but he got into the mix really quickly there and just took off. A lot of people probably didn’t know him. Our scouts really did a good job digging this guy out. We think he can really give us a boost on special teams with his speed while he’s learning how to play up here at this level."
I’m going to go ahead and say he’s been exceeding expectations.

Yes for sure
He exceeded expectations when he started in the nickle all year.
Remember Paysinger was 2nd behind Boley but all of a sudden the Kid snatched it, he’s going to be awesome.

Seems to be on the same path as JPP
as far as watching rawness and atleticism turn into productivity without much intelligence.
Now you see JPP begining to get smarter and its scary, i think the same leap from year 1-2 will happen with Williams. They have been on the same path for years now just a year apart, i can Willams being scary as well as he adds more intelligence to his football game.
Both are athletic freaks for their respective postitons.

JUCO......Then USF for a limited time
SO i dont think it was that he was unknown, all the scouts knew about him but they didnt trust his game translating to the NFL because of whatever reason.
Same as they did with Greg Jones who everybody knew but the only difference is that the scouts were right about Greg Jones’ game transitioning. They were wrong about J Will.

1/2 the teams won't draft a guy they expect to be an UDFA
JR specifically said, people knew who he was, but didn’t expect him to get drafted, Giants wanted to make sure, I suspect it’s the teams LB corp that encouraged him to take a flyer in the 6th instead of the 7th
That’s how it goes in the late rounds. You see something you like and hope for he best. By round 4, you’re talking about the level of flaw in the prospects, not how great they are.

I saw this kid go toe-to-toe with Jermichael Finley and Jimmy Graham. He got burned a couple times, but hung with them more often than not. Once he gets better at diagnosing plays and moving quicker into position, he’ll be a force.

if we're forgetting the first 14 weeks, we'd forget that he's shown signs of becoming a good playmaking LB.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
He's the first linebacker I've seen blitz that really gets to the QB
It seems like most other people that blitz don’t find the open hole or run into one that someone just went through

Didnt take it that way
I knew it was not directed toward me because I never posted anything against the rookies this season. My feeling has been -due to the lockout any rookie on the roster (and any in the NFL for that matter) this season is playing with house money,Prince especially.
I agree...good call

Webby's Pick and KP's pick
Turnovers are gold in this league.
Also what a difference it makes when the front four comes to play and not just JPP.
I am not trying to hear Fewell changed this and that, same scheme he’s been running, effort and execution were the main difference. Kudos to the whole defensive unit.
Thank God i we didnt lose becuase some how everybody would have blamed Fewell as if Eli didnt complete 9 passes and one of which went for a 100 yds. Kudos to Cruz for saving me an earfull lol.

With Tuck's new attitude,
The Tuck – TC -Reese pow-wow, the practice sessions where guys were faster than they were all year, rooks like JW and Prince getting more comfortable by the week, JPP rising to new heights, ROLLE actually making plays afyer weeks of talking about it…yeah, me too.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Training camp / offseason
you figure with the offseason with no rookie mini camps, no steady workouts or practices all summer and a short training camp it was going to take most rookies, except Von Miller, a long time to get up to speed.
Just a feeling here
But it almost seeems like the Giants could have a “start fast, fold, and then rise again” kind of season. It’s taken them this long to assemble the forces, figure out how to communicate with them, and get the collective psyche of the team where it needs to be. If the unity and intensity of the D, and the 2nd half performance of the O-line, Jacobs, and Bradshaw is any indication….who knows.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Well just watch the game
No big difference really, sure he tweaked some things but my point is its the same adjustments he tried before and they didnt work.
Player effort and execution especially up front was what i saw as the main difference.

Did not rush 3 one time in that game
also saw the corner blitz used for the 2nd time all year
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Rushing three is done by every team in this league weekly
Rushing 3 was not the issue per se, even though i was sick of it my self but missed tackles and effort were.
I have specifically seen less talented fronts get there with three, case in point N.O. last night. effort and winning the one on one battle is the key.
I will agree that Fewell seems to be more confident in his players now but like i said when the front is doing its job everyone else seems to look great. That is not a coincidence.

Can't lose the picture of Tollefson
in coverage, turning side to side, wondering if he should grab someone, or tackle ‘em, or chase ’em. That’s a defensive call that needs to be torn from the playbook.

when Prince was on the field...
they didn’t ask him to “read and react” either.
it was, “here is your man…cover him”
Fire Fewell
Yea that was a nice adjustment
But asking the second ranked CB in the nation and a potential top 5 pick to read and react shouldnt have been so bad.
But then again they shouldve known he wasnt ready for all that due to his circumstances. That was a pretty good adjustment although he only played 3 snaps.

he only played 10 the other week before getting benched

He played much more man
And blitzed more. Only saw one three man rush. He absolutely adjusted his scheme. I even watched a few edge blitzes. All things missing from this defense all season. You’re buggin if you honestly think he didn’t change. Dirty Sanchez also did his part to make the D look good.

the one 3 man rush you saw
was a disguised blitz… That is why the saints are so good at it.. you cant tell if they are rushing 3 men or rushing 5.. With us, if we were down in a 3 man front, that is all we would do with it…
Kudos to P.F. for finally using the art of deception. Kudos for mixing it up.
Giants are young, and injured... and loosing.
+ guys we played mark Sanchez and the Jets
Not Drew Brees and the saints! So kinda easier to play a cover two which takes away those damn slants Sanchez loves to throw!

Yes. Amazing how good a coach can look when the players are all in on the field.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Tuck looked healthy
Thats a big difference
But they also executed a very different scheme. safeties played in NJ instead of Rockland county
They brought pressure from a bunch of different angles instead of 3 DL nd no one else near the LOS
But Tuck healthy, JW a bit improved and Blackburn playing smart has its own impact

Agree
Sadly, though, why do all of us watching on TV see this for a whole season and the defensive coaches don’t? BTW, there is some interesting research on persons viewing games on TV, where they are actually able to pick up on certain things that those on the field and on the sidelines cannot.
Maybe there’s a consulting role for BBVers in our future.

You're guess is as good as mine on that
I tend to think he was physically beat up, and his neck or something in his legs simply get better. Why? Cause he had more explosiveness, more power. He may have been dialing it back waiting for an MRI to show muscle healing.
Or he may have been depressed
The why is a belief, that he played differently is a fact

The scheme was noticeably different to casual fans. Throw in the players comments and it’s obvious he changed something. Why do you find it necessary to go against the grain (not to mention conventional wisdom) and argue that the scheme was the same?!

More of a cummulative thing
Just seeing the Giants secondary CLOSING on pass plays and in position to make tackles with minimal YAC by the Jets was a sight for sore eyes.
Loved the sacks and TO’s, but the db’s may have elevated their play more than any other unit.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
The tackle on the non-fumble where the ball came out as the hand hit the ground
when it looked like it had hit the foot first. Was that Webster? It was hard and he drove through the receiver well.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
Thanks, andiamo, and yes, it was the Jets
but we had very aggressive play from the corners and safeties – even Grant made a good hard hit on their TE. That’s got to build some confidence.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
i liked the hit Rolle put on the Olineman
when Canty got the Safety.
he actually caused teh Olineman to fumble (of course it didn’t count).
my point?….they still played the Jets and the Sanchize
Fire Fewell
Charlie Whitehurst
looked like Steve Young against the Giants D.
I can understand the lukewarm response to Saturday's D
but in a year where 35 points and 500 yards is a routine day at the office, one has to be encouraged by what we saw – no matter the opponent. There was agressiveness, the D took the action to the Jets, players were IN POSITION to MAKE PLAYS – something that we’ve not seen for a long time. Receivers were actually covered, tackles were actually made, the D line put hats on the qb. I can tell you the Giants feel much better going into Sunday defensively.
"Allie Sherman wrecked the Giants!" - my 5th grade bus driver
my point
was yeah it was Sanchez, but if Whitehurst lit up the Giants we have to take this as a sign of improvement.
very true
but at least they finally made an average QB look average…. unlike those other games, sigh. I seriously felt before the game it was gonna be like Young and Grossman (2) games

OK, let's just watch replays of last year's Eagles game
become miserable, believe we have no shot, and watch Sunday night with zero expectations of the team doing anything. The team picks up the vibe, plays with a chip on their collective shoulder, and we win going away.

Yes that is true....
But the defense have made every QB looks super so it was nice to see them do well for a change even though Sanchez is one sorry QB. Hopefully the defense will use this as momentum to take them into the next game. For crying, out even the Special Teams showed up for the game
sanchez missed a lot of throws too
guys in the flat, guys over the middle….
heck both INTs, was their a Jets WR even in the vicintity? they looked almost gift wrapped

Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
that is what happens when you bring pressure
Sanchize got hit, sacked, moved around on a consistent basis… That is why you bring pressure, so that even when the QB has time, he still hurries his throws… or throws them at their players facemasks….
the best example. superbowl 42.
Giants are young, and injured... and loosing.
Going into a win and in scenario v. the Cowboys
I’ll line up with what I saw on the defensive side v. the Jets. Would we rather have had a repeat of the Redskin’s game?

they just played Rex Grossman did they not? If the defense was the same they’d make em all look like Montana.

I think the Jests should have been called for having too many players on the field. 11 of them + 5 Refs.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

You have no idea how many weeks recievers cheat against him and he doesnt get the call.
Im not gonna whine, dude is the best all around corner in football, and on some of those plays NIcks just dropped the ball. Gotta be physical with Revis, if your going to let him dictate how you play then you dont deserve a call.

Nicks went to Revis Island
Got to give credit where it is due, Revis is a tough CB to throw on, does he get there early sometimes yeah, but the way he times a play is almost perfect, I have been watching him do this year after year, after awhile you just got to tip your cap and say yeah that guy is that good.
by Late for Dinner on Dec 27, 2011 10:59 AM EST up reply actions
He's good
but if he ever got a call he’d have to back off a little and there would be more room. He gets away with a LOT.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Revis has been doing that for years
Revis is very subtle in how he plays it, but did you notice he was step for step with the WR and contested every throw. I’m telling you the guy is a technician knows what he can get away with and what he can’t. The calls never happen, and he basically takes away the opposite teams best WR every game. What happened to Nicks is what happens to almost every WR the plays against the guy. I hate the Jet’s but I do enjory watching Revis play he is damm good.

Irvin is a perfect example
He was the king of offensive pass interference, but the guy had his technique down. In fact he made a comment on Plax’s pass interference that you never extend you arm when you push off you use your elbow to push off and the Ref’s won’t call it.

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
It would be interesting
If they actually made Revis play by the rules. How he doesn’t get illegal contact penalties is beyond me. Even on the INT he was turning Nicks which you’re not supposed to be able to do.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
We used to have a DB named Elvis Patterson
Nicknamed “Toast”. Got burned a lot. And got called for holding and PI a lot. The nickname influenced the calls.
When you get an island named after you, it influences the calls. Somewhere, sometime, someone’s going to have to play through his techniques and catch it anyway. When they do, the mystique goes, and the calls come. True in every sport.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I know someone will)
I thought if the ball was fumbled forward into the endzone, it would be a touchback no matter who recovered. Or there is something about not being able to fumble forward into the endzone.

If it goes through the endzone out of bounds then it's a touchback.

Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
In the last two minutes of either half
(or maybe just the last half) the offense cannot gain yardage on a fumble. This was in response to the Holy Roller where one of the players just kicked it forward hoping someone else would get it.
If a Jet recovered it, it would have been a TD, like in the Chicago game the other day where the runningback fumbled and the O-lineman recovered it for the TD.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

The Ballard of Jake:
Stop→Slow→Truck→LEAP!
(Adapted from Raptor 22)
Kordell Stewart was on ESPN radio
and said he believes in TC but not the coordinators and he specifically named Fewell. He said it’s more than obvious that his planning is bad or the players are no longer buying into it anymore. He doesn’t think the players have quit on TC but thinks he should stay only if he makes some changes on the coaching staff.
I couldn’t agree more. I would like to see Gilbride gone – but not because he has done a bad job but I’d like to see Eli in an offense that takes advantage of his ability.
Fewell – well I’m not ready to put it all on him due to the injuries but I can’t defend him either.
Please get Phil Simms in the Hall of Fame
Please dont quote Kordell again

If TC comes back don't expect much change
I am going to assume that if TC is back he made the playoffs, which will only embolden management that they are on the right track. If we are lucky maybe someone hires Radio or Killdrive and we have to replace them.

they know us, we know them.
a competitive advantage will be had by someone….oh yes….it will.

i think everyone executed in that game w/ exception to both defenses
F. Jones ran well actually. B. Jacobs ran well.
Romo and Eli both threw the ball all over (Eli especially later in the game).
someone has to be made one dimensional…and I hope it the Cowobys. and not he Giants or the Giants voluntarily getting away from the run (in a cold game…at home)

Like someone said:
We also play and the same division, we play them twice a year and whoever scores more points WILL win.

Could have gotten one stop with 54 seconds left in that Green bay game.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Yeah that game really bothered me..Less than a minute for an overtime coin toss..
That was disturbing..but if Fewell lets the ‘D’ play defense, I see us winning..The Dallas fans are worried about Eli and JPP..but now we have our Tuck back..and Romo’s hand isn’t going to feel all that great..Nothing is broke, but it will be sore..So we have an advantage..
"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..."

We took over ownership of our house and now Dallas is our guest..and I think Coughlin inspired his team by taking that hit and quickly getting back to the sideline..He’s one tough old bird..
"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..."
