Giants' Justin Tuck Wonders Which Defense Will Show Up Sunday

Justin Tuck, the Giants defensive captain, says he has not idea what to expect from the team's defense each week.  (Photo by Chris Trotman/Getty Images)

Asked on Thursday if he knew what to expect from the New York Giants defense on Sunday, Justin Tuck, the group's captain, said simply and directly "no, I don't."

Give Tuck serious bonus points for his honesty. And lump him right in there with just about everyone who has watched the undeniably talented but frustratingly unpredictable Giants defense this season.

"I know we will be ready to play. Some games we come out and rush the passer great, sometimes we play coverage great and sometimes we play run defense great. I just know that this team seems like we have our focus back, not to say that we lost it but it just seems like it is elevated," Tuck said. "I think guys have made that conscious decision that we are going to go these next four games starting with this one against Dallas playing our hardest. Wherever we end up after these four, we will go from there. I think a lot of times you get so caught up defending yourself and making excuses for how you play that you forget if you go out there and play the way it is supposed to be played and how everybody in this room is capable of playing it, it speaks for itself."

Star-divide

Only four teams in the league have surrendered more than the 315 points the Giants have allowed this season. Granted, the Giants played the high-flying offenses of the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers the past two weeks, but the defense needs to give the Giants offense some help over the next four weeks.

"This franchise and a lot of the names on here are defensive guys. We have had some great defenses around here during my time here and obviously previously," Tuck said. "This year, for whatever reason, our offense has been the superior unit and that is not to say that we haven't had flashes on defense. I think our offense has been the more consistent unit."

Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell admitted Thursday that all of the injuries suffered by the Giants have had an impact.

"Six corners and three backers. You can't cry over spilt milk. We're in a position right now that hey, we have to come out and play. Nobody feels sorry for our situation. We know that. I think the guys are really trying to do a good job of focusing and doing what we're asking them to do. We just have to try to get it done," Fewell said. "It definitely disrupts your continuity."

The Giants can only hope that the effort the defense showed against Green Bay makes its way to Dallas.

"This is a big, important game for us. I think the players know that. We know that as a coaching staff we're in a position to do some things that we like to do. I think the passion and the fire will be there," Fewell said.

It had better be if the Giants hope to play a playoff team. If it isn't, this season is over.

Without the injuries,

we’d be okay,particularly if the D schemes were geared toward using the strengths of the players.
We can still make the playoffs. Winning the next four games will guarantee it. If we get in, we won’t get far. More importantly, if we get in, necessary changes won’t be made, specifically replacement of ST coach and Fewell.

My take

I dont think the safeties are underachieving at all…… not much really comes their way and Kenny has been one of the best safeties in the league this year.

The line play is on the line alot of the times, they just have to win and Robert Nunn controls the line rotation not Radio. Of course he could but thats just not how its done in the NFL these days.

This defenses biggest fault is communication and responsibilities, i dont think the LB’z are asked to do too much just that the main glue at LB went out right before the season and we are left with rookies, Boley and a transitional end. Last game the only difference was better communication and effort for the most part.

There was no overuse of a three man line and when we blitzed we still got ate up. it is what it is…… i agree with the overall statments in your post though.

He's not put in position to be great

he flourished as a rookie under Spags. At the latter part of his rookie season, Brian Baldinger of the NFL Network did a segment on KP. Baldinger said KP will be a super star (not star) in this league for years. He showed video of numerous plays to back up his claim. He added that as a rookie the Giants had him in handcuffs but as the season progressed he was allowed to do more and played better.

Unfortunately an injury and two inept DCs have hindered his greatness.

I'm familiar with all that is said here in defense of the guy

But, how many excuses and free passes can we come up with for a guy who may have had the potential, but for whatever reason(injury/ incompetent coaches/ etc.) he is an underacheiver and has very little impact.

He has a few moments each year when he lays somebody out, but they are way too few and far between. In my opinion he’s an average Safety.

Seriously who do you think sets the depth chart at the positions?

Those position coaches mean alot more than you think….Perry has a scheme and calls he has to worry about, Rotations are basically controlled by the room coaches….of course Perry has input but they have alot more freedom than you assume but im sure you will argue me down.

well....saying:

Nunn controls the line rotation

and than saying Nunn controls the depth chart is two totally different things.

are they not? plus “rotation” can be interpreted a lot of different ways.

if Linval needs a blow, i’m sure Nunn says “ok Rocky you’re in”. Or if Tuck needs to rest, i’m sure Nunn says “hey Tolly go get ’em”.

but is Nunn saying “ok, let’s rush 3 and JPP you’re playing the NT?”

is Nunn saying “ok, let’s dial up the Nascar here w/ Kiwi, Tuck, Osi, and JPP?”

absolutely not.

so if you want to clarify and say “nunn is responsible for delegating snaps” i’d go along w/ that, but he certainly is not responsible for scheme along the Dline or play calls….and even if he were. That comes back to the DC anyways.

just like the DC’s short coming come back to the HC.

and frankly, I don’t think Nunn is in charge of the depth chart either….perhaps “managing” it throughout the course of the game, but not pre game decision making.

Fire Fewell

by andiamo708 on Dec 9, 2011 1:44 PM EST up reply actions  

Well those position coaches certainly control the depth chart for their positions

and systematically the rotation, NO DC has time to be on the practice field with every unit all the time, those coaches field the best they think at the position and yes in the pre game and meetings, maybe you think Perry is multi man and can be in every position room at the same time, doesnt work like that.

Have you ever heard a Peter giunta interview about his CB’s or a Dave Merritt Interview about his safeties? these guys control who is out there.

I remember when they asked Jim Hermann why isnt Clint Sintim starting and his response was “My job is to field the 3 best run stoppers on 1st and second down and the best pass defenders on third down and right now Clint is about 1 step away, thats all of our jobs to relay who is the best at our positions to the coordinator”

And controlling the rotation and the Depth chart are the same thing sir…… The rotation is based strictly on the depth chart so i dont know what your getting at.

Im not sure where i said he controls the play call or scheme i thought i made that clear that was Perry. What im saying is position coaches do a WHOOOOLE LOT more than you are giving them credit for, i mean what do you think they do?

Some of your issues with Perry are very valid dont get me wrong.

ultimately

I think Giants fans are not upset about “depth” or who plays.

it’s the scheme that many of us have issue with. Nunn ain’t the decision maker on the 3 man rush. Guinta and Merrit don’t dictate Man or Zone.

and frankly, if losing Goff is that much of a loss….you adapt and change.

by andiamo708 on Dec 9, 2011 3:13 PM EST up reply actions  

a 3 man rush has almost no place in an NFL gameplan

If there is one thing that sticks in my craw about the defense, week in and week out, it’s the 3-man rush (to say nothing of the overall conservative approach). The Giants have made a living pressuring the quarterback, and this year, due to injuries and inexperience, the LB corp has shown that it cannot be relied upon to make plays or even be in position in coverage (zone and man). Opposing quarterbacks have taken full advantage of this, standing in the pocket, going through their progressions, checking their email and calling their mother before finding the open man. This is what good QBs do. It’s easy for a decent QB to find the holes in zone coverage if he knows he’s getting all day. I’m not saying you have to blitz on every down, but the beauty of zone coverage lies in surprising the qb, making him think pressure is coming, and then having him rush a throw right into a defender’s arms. To boot, as I noted earlier, our LBs are all but worthless in pass coverage (Blackburn’s INT the recent exception), so may as well use them to bring some pressure. Fewell has shown a willingness to mix up coverage and blitz schemes, last year and earlier this year. I don’t know why he won’t do it now. It’s like he’s scared to get beat, yet keeps getting beat anyway. We’re at the point of the season where we need to say F*** it, let’s just throw the kitchen sink at them. Clearly, what we’ve been doing hasn’t worked.

Last 4 games

only once, 2005, has the Giants under TC won 3 games. On 3 occasions they only won 1 game.

Why should we expect anything different? The only way we win at least 3 games is if Fewell plays more aggressive. Unfortunately, we’ve witnessed 12 games of passive game plans. I’m not expecting anything to change.

gotta give credit to Tuck for being honest and forthcoming.

It is hard to give respect to a player looks like crap on the field and talks as if he’s not part of the problem in interviews.

To those players who apply, maybe if you stayed out the clubs, drinking ale and chasing tail, you’d be more consistent on the field.

Last season in the first Eagles game he did it numerous times with great success. If we remember it was those blitzes off the edge that created the so called blue print for slowing Vick. Force Vick to his right.

We witnessed that with Herzlich in the 2nd Eagles game on the Eagles final TD. And other times. Too many to count.

do you want GB’s and NE’s defense?

we’re worse in some categories. In others we’re not too far behind.

Would it really be hard to swallow?

To really open up the offense and to release the hounds of the defense?

Not telling the defense, “don’t bother you stink” we’d be telling them “be extra aggressive, take some chances”.

I’d think the defense would love that.

in response to Dick J

we already have GB and NE’s defense… look at the numbers, look at the games. I’d rather they understand what they are capable of and play a gameplan that gives us a chance, instead of thinking thay have it under control as another team racks up 400 yards and 30 points against them.

Killdrive knows that offense well since he built It.

Run n shoot

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

Tuck a major key to this game

So, Justin, shut up and play hard. Important to keep Romo contained in pocket by pinching in pressure from outside. When Romo starts moving to his right, he is most dangerous. Must keep him contained and still uncomfortable. Pressure from Tuck & JPP will make him least effective and most mistake prone.

Which defense?

Aside from the 2nd half vs Rams, 2nd half vs Dolphins and 1st half vs Patriots we only have one defense.

A LOUSY DEFENSE!

Meh

Mathews has underachieved expectations, they wore his jersey, you have to expect some flak from Philly fans.

What?

Everyone on BGN told us that he was fine. “Bloodlines” they said. “Sinorice Moss” we said.

gahhh!

In my heart, Giants > Nets, though I still love my Nets.

Giants-Cow week here….

and over at NetsDaily….Nets-Dwight Howard talk!

My brain is going to explode. Got to stick closer to ND for today tho. About time my team had something go right for them…

I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

That stadium should never have been built.

First you have the misuse of eminent domain disposessing people of their homes. Second, the whole Atlantic Yards project (if it ever gets built, which I hope it doesn’t) it’s going to ruin the neighborhood of Fort Green.

I’m one of the most die hard Brooklynites you’ll ever meet, and it makes me sad that there would be a team that plays here that I could never root for.

Sorry to go on a political rant but that whole thing really gets my blood boiling.

yea

good luck with Dwight. After all those tampering charges you’ll be lucky if the Nets are still iin the NBA after 2012

Off topic..Sort of..

I just got back from Orlando and haven’t had a chance to catch up with things here but I wante to mention two things:
1) My Son’s Pop Warner team beat Pennsylvania for the National Title in the Super bowl today…They were losing 8-6 with 1:48 left on the clock from their own 30 yard line..and scored a TD with less than 30 seconds left..It was the best youth sports football event I ever saw..They are the Champions (ESPN3.com).
2) I again haven’t read thru the comments on the GB game, but I am very proud of our team for that gutsy battle..It showed me they can still get to the tournament…and maybe do some damage.
