Panthers 20, Giants 10: JPP Is Awesome, Giants' Offense Is Not

Not a whole lot for New York Giants fans to get excited about Saturday night in a 20-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in their preseason opener. Thankfully, this game didn't count for anything.
The Giants' offense couldn't get much of anything done. The punt coverage wasn't good. The kick and punt returns went nowhere. The tackling was, predictably, sloppy. There were, however, some things to feel good about.
Jason Pierre-Paul had four tackles and two sacks. Domenik Hixon (five catches, 86 yards) and Devin Thomas (three catches, 23 yards looked good at the receiver position. Chris Canty played well.
Scary moment for the Giants when Lawrence Tynes was run into after having a field goal blocked. Tynes was initially diagnosed with a thigh contusion.
The next Giants preseason game will be at New Meadowlands Stadium on Monday, Aug. 22. Pretty obvious the Giants have a lot of work to do between now and then.

Why wasn't Marvin there?

he played in the second half
He was held on a few plays that I saw. Just nothing called.
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
Well the offense takes alot of timing
The defense looked sharp. First team seemed to be swarming towards the ball, lots of hurries and sacks.

Talk about killdrive
Where do I start? That 4-1 towards the end of the game and it was an easy rush play yet they go passing. We could have prolonged the drive and got a TD.
Being a New York Football Giants fan or a player is not a label but it is a calling!
if your seriously worried about what Kevin is calling in the 4th quarter of the game with backups
then I dunno what to tell you. Eli was a little outta sync with Hakeem, and it was raining. I be more worried about the first team offense.
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 5...
Easy rush play maybe
but they didn’t get a 3rd and 1 rushing earlier in the game with the 1st string. You guys get all crazy with the play calling and the “schemes”. It comes down to execution. The players have to make the plays no matter what you call.

Geez
Give the play-calling stuff a rest in the first preseason game, please. They do everything for a reason in the preseason, and a lot of it has nothing to do with trying to win the game. You think the Giants are trying 55-yard field goals in games that count?

Him or Weatherford would be my guess as of TONIGHT
But I’m almost 100% positive it would not come down to that, even for a pre-season game if its something serious with Tynes.

Herzlich
looked pretty active in there. Around the ball on almost every play, went east-west very well. Looked like he knew how to play the game.
Greg Jones looked bigger and thicker than I thought – also looked like he had a good head for the game.
If Quinn.....
comes back with the same sorry ass special teams coaching I gonna lose my mind. This was one of the weakest part of the team last season and please don’t tell me he is still here with no improvement.
not even JUST last season. it goes beyond that

Worried about the O-line b/c,
while the 5 starters might be OK, when it was the back-ups, yikes – bad news city.
I guess they still got Boothe and Koets neither of which I saw tonight but the other scrubs looked just awful.

Only saw the first half
Defense looked great, offense not so much.
Geez that sucks about tynes. I’ve never hated the guy, unlike a few others. Wonder who’s left out there and if they’re any decent

cut him some slack
No OTA’s, NO offseason. 1st preseason game… looked like he was getting his legs underneath him. started to really turn it up the longer he was out there. I expect this kid to be great.
Where are all the nicknames Henry "Rhynoski" Hynoski, JPP "The Beast", Linval "The Anvil" Joseph, Hakeem "The Dream" Nicks, "Super" Mario Manningham, Ramses "The Pharoah" Barden, "Unstoppable" Eli Manning ... you know, nicknames...
Thats not what I’m saying… sigh..
I’m making the point that if you are evaluating a player, you need to look at the positives.
I find it absurd that people here notice his strip, but they “forgot” about his numerous blown coverages. Both happened.

the real truth about him, is he looks like a "Baller"
that’s something I really liked seeing in him…
to screw up C.Bank’s quote…“there are guys and you have to be THAT guy”
something or other…
But the blown coverages will be fixed.
You know how there are guys that can play football and guys that CAN play football…well, he looks like the later to me. Just after watching that one game. I was left impressed that he wanted to be wherever the ball was, whether in a good or bad result.
I'm down with J.P.P.
Yeah you know me...
and secret agents
#13 & #47
I agree. He has “it” “It” isn’t something you can teach, and “it” isn’t something that you can quantify, “its” just there.
He might not be the most athletic, or the most talented, but he just has whatever “it” is that makes him good. Not many guys have “it”, but some do. Now if you combine “it” with talent and athleticism, thats what makes all-stars.
Maybe “it” is intelligence, vision, pride, work-ethic, luck, etc.. Not sure. but “it” exists and it really cant be quantified.
Herzlich and Goff are guys that have “it” as well, IMO.

We also have 9 games at home
At least the Jets are good for something. They got us an extra game at home even when it is a road game for us. We do get to use the home team lockers.

That's going to be a FUN game
The Jets are actually relevant for the first time in about 600 years, they might actually make this one competitive.

Jets will play us hard but..
Jets will play us hard but the Eagles game that we host, I want to see offense score at least 1 passing TD and 1 rushing TD. The defense score : pick 6, fumble recovery TD, Safety. Special teams I want to see: All field goals made then 1 punt return TD and 1 kick return TD and then we shut out Eagles. I know too much to ask but you know what I mean.
Being a New York Football Giants fan or a player is not a label but it is a calling!
That may very well e the case.
I won’t start pointing fingers (yet) but i see a continuation of many of the problems that we had last year. the defensive front line was great but the secondary is really starting to show thier true colors (Yes, I mean the first string D. secondary) scared to hit, non-wrapping tackles. Sigh.

bright spots
ball security is good, very little penalties, and aside of tynes who says its just a thigh contusion we came out of this game healthy knock on wood. and personally i think thats more important that how the gmen play.

I have not yet begun to procrastinate
It's the first game of preseason
Players need to shake off their rust but they’ll be at full power in reg season! Believe in the Giants, believe in Big Blue!
Think he had a catch, and a carry.
I expect for him to be more acclimated into the 1st string offense.

Our preseason first team O always sucks. During the season we will finish in the top 10 like the 2 -3 past years.
Thank God we didnt turn it over!

How do we know
who blew what assignments? Besides, you have to remember that Baas has had all of one week of practice.
by Ed Valentine on Aug 14, 2011 7:19 AM EDT up reply actions
let me just say this
For those of us who have played football during High School, College and coached at both levels now. I can assure you that you can tell when a center blows an assignment. A center has 3 assignments no matter the offense they are in 1. Head up 2. Man over top(LB) even if it’s a reach man over 3. Double with guard either play side or off side. Baas is a veteran so 1 week or 1 day there should never be a NG head up and he goes and doubles a guard and let’s the NG run right through which happened on 3 occasions. It is preseason but the same people who get on here and say it’s only preseason, they have only been together for a week, how are you going to call out Gilbride for play calling in week one say the same exact thing every week during the regular season and are ok with a non playoff year or say we will get them next year. Ill tell you how you call out Gilbride 1. The play gets to the QB waaaay tooo late which means they get to the line with 10 seconds normally not enough time, the def knows when you are snapping now 2. The same shotgun draw plays we have used the past 3 years that every fan and of course every other team knows what is coming 3. This offense is nothing more than a dink and dunk offense, with a QB that is afraid of being hit so he throws off his back foot all the time. If you have never put on a helmet or pads, gone through a 2 a day practice, thrown up while running down the field, seen stars after hitting helmet to helmet then you will never fully understand this game or how it is played with passion and enjoyed by the fans with passion so while yes it was preseason game #1but there were far too many mistakes for a team with so much experience. New England, Green Bay, Atlanta, Philly, may have had some issues but they played pretty well for game #1…the Giants didn’t other than Def. In the 1st qtr.so call them out don’t defend them all the time

Agreed way too much. Thats the problem.
It seems like to me any negative observation made on this site gets you labeled as a fake fan or an idiot.
You proved your knowledge. You know more about the position than Ed and proved it to him.
Bass struggled. If his struggling is going to be attributed to only having a week in practice, then his successes should only be attributed to his opponents having only one week in practice.
I’m sick of the blind optimism here.

Any comments on Anvil or Marvin?
I’m so stupid I didn’t even realize the game was on NBC. Durrrrr
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
Anvil had a few ...nothing real noteworthy
I could only see Marvin in for a few snaps. He’s alot weaker than I thought….was getting blown back off the line against 3rd stringers…kinda disappointing

Nothing to worry about.
The first-team offense usually stinks in the first pre-season game, then gets methodically better as they go forward.
The defense looked solid, but not steallar. That is the Fewell defense. It’s prone to give up the occasional big play, but it can create a lot of turnovers.
Special teams, well, I have no comment.
There are plenty of kinks to work out, but this team is more than capable of winning 10+ games this year.
This is stuff we already know, but I just felt like posting it, since I’m stuck at work until 7.

Dillard did nothing much the hynocerus got blown up a couple times he didn’t blow anybody away like I hoped. While eli was playing it was raining like a mofo so throws were a little off. ST’s were terrible. Seemed like there was a lane on almost every return. Anvil made one nice stopand sash looked huge out there compared to other safeties. Cruz ran some nice routes but sage never saw them, he missed him one time where he was WIDE open on a blown coverage where he could have crawled in. All in all it was pretty pathetic but it is just preseason. And I will say it again JPP WAS A MONSTER!

Hey our defense scored!
We have not seen a lot of defensive TDs lately and this was a pleasant change to see and now if they could just do it in regular season too.
Being a New York Football Giants fan or a player is not a label but it is a calling!
I missed the game, tonight.
Anybody know a place on the internet or on TV where I can watch the game?
Fields, on the follow!
My advice:
Don’t watch.

But, if you must, it will be on NFL network tomorrow at 1pm EST.

If you're wondering what jersey to get this year..
I think JPP put that question to rest. ST was awful, but did anyone think it would look good at this point? Maybe Quinn doesn’t have the guys in the right lanes but dammit they should be able to tackle. And Ross did a great job covering Armanti Edwards…I hope Prince heals fast.
I’m always negative, but there were positives to take from this game. If starters play the whole way we win easily. Tons of young talent on both sides of the ball, hope we can coach ’em up.
DWTDD
Not a whole lot for New York Giants fans to get excited

Pat Hanlon asked me to tell you all to stop whining...
..you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Oh BTW, a select few PSLs are still available!
This exactly the OPPOSITE of what a PR guy is s'posed to do.
As predicted, this new kickoff rule sucks. A lot
Cowboys are eerily lurking around quietly
I saw hustle in Austin
maybe I was wrong but I thought I saw him chase down someone. Then he smashed him out of bounds.
u should find something else to do! You like the GM,you have your head up your ass!!!!!!!!! we have not singed a linebacker in years think about it, he has on Herry Carson JERSEY, HE is not a pimple on his ass, like I said find something elese to do like go play in the road out side of the stadium, may be u could talk about that. your inputs suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go back were was the last linebacker we had, get rid of the GM and find someone knows talent.. DON`T KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE IT IS GETTING SICKING..
It makes me warm inside
When people say smash and something to do with our defense

Witherspoon was very impressive to me...
and in my opinion he has earned Aaron Ross’ spot in the scheme. Ross stinks. Even 100% healthy he stinks. He plays like he’s afraid to make contact and like he doesn’t want to be out there. This Witherspoon kid ran stride for stride and was glued to receivers every time he was out there.
And for Pete’s sake, I can’t give Perry Fewel the benefit of the doubt anymore. He INSISTS on running that stupid soft Tampa 2 bullcrap and it DOESNT WORK. Our corners need to STAY WITH THEIR MAN down the field and stop releasing them to the safeties over the top. Perry: IT DOESNT WORK!! What’s the point of having 2 good cover corners in Webster and Amukamara IT THEY DONT COVER??
Picking up right where he left off
Even with the kick returns in theory less dangerous, Tom Quinn will cost us 80+ yards of field position per game.

return yardage
Carolina 3 kickoff returns 88 yards, 29.3 average. 5 punt returns 50 yards, 10 yard average
Giants 3 kickoff returns 57 yards 19 average 5 punt returns 27 yards 5.2 yard average
55 yards difference on returns in the first preseason game. Granted, a single data point is useless for drawing conclusions, but it does seem like the repeat of a pattern from last year. Over a 16 game season, 55 yards per game comes out to 880 yards, or more yards than Brandon Jacobs has run per year over the last two years.

last years return yardage difference
705 yards more in returns for opponents than for us. 44 yards per game difference.

Here's what I see from the Giants
A talented team that is mentally soft, the bigger the moment in a game, the more mental errors made. Is it coaching? you can make a case for that, or maybe it’s just the culture around the organization. This team lacks a killer instinct, too many times they’ve had teams on the ropes, only to let em off and ultimately lose games. Now for Eli, I know we all love him cuz he won us a ring, but let’s just acknowledge Tuck should have been SB MVP. Eli, to me, has all the tools to be elite, but is not elite based on the mental lapses he has during games. And for all the talk about him not being helped out by receivers with tipped passes, maybe he needs to work on his accuracy so that receivers don’t have to fully extend for passes all the time. Yes the offense is predictable, we all know it, but unless they fire Coughlin, Gilbride is’nt going anywhere, but the question I have is, say we get a new OC, will Eli develop into what we want him to be? or would the team take a step back? only time will tell. All I know is this team continues to have an identity crisis on offense, are we a pass or run first team? and on defense in my opinion, we have the talent, but perhaps we are a bit soft.
I agree that we are definitely a mentally soft team.
