Giants Vs. Bears, Preseason Week 2: What To Look For

The New York Giants host the Chicago Bears this evening in their second preseason game of the 2011 season. The game will be televised by ESPN beginning at 8 p.m. ET. After losing to the Carolina Panthers, 20-10, in their preseason opener head coach Tom Coughlin and the Giants will be looking for improvement in several areas when they face the Bears.

Let's go through some of what to look for against the Bears. In all likelihood this list ends up looking a lot like last week's list.

Star-divide

Improvement From The First-Team Offensive Line (Or, Please Don't Get Eli Killed, Fellas)  -- Before the Carolina game new center David Baas had just five practices under his belt, and there were some obvious communication issues along the line.

The Backup Quarterback Battle (Or, Which Guy Do You Hope A Baseball Cap All Season?) -- Sage Rosenfels threw down the gauntlet against Carolina with an excellent 13-for-19 performance for 129 yards. David Carr gets his opportunity Monday night, and it is uncertain whether Rosenfels or young Ryan Perrilloux will finish the game. Rosenfels has been trying to recover from strep throat. Carr might not have to match Rosenfels' numbers against Carolina, but he will need to play well to have a shot at unseating Rosenfels.

The Young And The Restless (Or, The Young Linebackers) -- Undrafted free agent Spencer Paysinger got some first-team reps last week with Michael Boley experiencing back issues. Sixth-round draft pick Greg Jones seems to be quietly gaining some respect around the Giants. Little is settled when it comes to the backup linebackers, though, so keep an eye on which guys step forward. I know I will be paying close attention.

The Tight Ends (Paging Travis Beckum, Mr. Beckum, Time To Show Up, Sir) -- Among the five tight ends currently on the 90-man roster Beckum is the one with the biggest upside -- the player who could have the biggest impact in the team's passing attack. Coughlin, though, is obviously getting tired of waiting for the oft-injured, often inconsistent, third-year player to start getting the job done on a regular basis. "He's got to stay out there," Coughlin said. "You see it. You just need to see more of it. You need to know that he's out there and he's going to practice and he's going to get to work." If Beckum can't start showing it to Coughlin and the Giants more consistently the Giants will likely be looking to upgrade that position before the season begins.

Special Teams (Or, Will They Ever Be Special?) -- Coughlin says the coverage would look a lot better if the Giants would actually make tackles when they have opportunities. Well ... umm ... duh! Failing to make tackles is an issue. The Giants put a lot of time and effort into special teams, and they have to get better than they were a year ago., Early signs against Carolina were not good. Also, let's see if anyone moves ahead in the Matt Dodge-Steve Weatherford punting derby. Watching Rhys Lloyd handle the placekicking duties should also be interesting. We might know more after Monday night about whether or not Lloyd can actually give Lawrence Tynes a real run for that job.

well

while people are watching Beckum, i’ll be watching to see how KG uses him.

and while it’s great to zero in on JPP i’ll be more interested in how Fewell is using the secondary….

"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said

IMO

Special teams needs to get betterPERIOD.

If Beckum doesn’t show up tonite, we may need to look elsewhere. Hopefully KG will call his # early and often to see.

Oline will get some hard looks as well, the majority are proven vets, even Baas; so they should get it together real soon.

Extra Special Teams

As I said last week before the game (and this can be checked before people start talking knee-jerk panic mode), I will be focusing on our special teams, both for coverage and for blocking on returns. The only good thing on Special Teams at all last week was that both punters looked good (despite the terrible coverage), so let’s hope there is more good to say tonight.

Alternating between JPP and Osi and now having to face Peppers, well assuming Peppers picks his side……..Beatty might be one of the best LT’s by the time the season starts with all that work.

And it wouldn’t surprise me. Lots of NFL guys feel if a backup can’t challenge a starter by year 4 or is a star on STs, you need to move on. Get younger, get hungrier. That’s the theory anyway.

As far as upside goes, most definitely. Problem is, this is probably the worst spot for a UDFA DE in the entire league. He’s got almost no chance to make the roster. My thinking is that if he makes it to the PS, next year, he’ll take over for Tolly. If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets picked up by another team and makes his way into becoming the 2nd DE for some DE hungry team. You know we’re going to coach him up well.

Team Everyone

The biggest reason I love preseason is that we get to see basically everyone we’re looking to get some game time (or bench time) this year. I don’t like selecting a few or one player to watch, I’d rather try to watch everyone a few times (thanks, DVR) and see what we got. Not saying there’s anything wrong with people selecting one or a few key players to watch, I guess I’m just overly excited for the season to start.

yeah i'm with you Late

if we hadn’t had signed weatherford, and there was no one really available to push Dodge, i would’ve been on board with at least giving him this preseason to show he’s grown. but that all went out the window when we signed the best FA punter available! am i missing something here with weatherford, why is he not thoroughly entrenched as our starter already?

smoke & mirrors, i guess

maybe they’re looking for dodge to place kick or something? doubtful since they signed rhys lloyd. maybe they still believe in dodge and think he’ll be good later on, and try to practice squad him with the hopes that other teams don’t go after him. dodge does have tremendous kicking power – if he works on his accuracy, he could be one of the best punters in the league. that’s a big “if”, though.

Seems like we will have a helluva rotation at the #3 WR spot. especially with Beckum

once he stops pretending to be a TE. I dont see any of the “beating” out the other, they all bring something unique to the slot, its gonna be a difficult choice….hopefully someone blows the others out of the water but IDK i just dont see it.

I like Thomas too tho……. I think he is our best kickoff cover guy but then again with the new rules we might as well put Quinn out there him self.

Pittsburgh Green Bay & Giants build through draft

Do I wish the Giants would make the splashy move… yes but I am learning that our GM does not believe in a lot of trades or FA signings and he builds by drafting. We forget that he really learned at George Young’s knee and not Ernie’s. Ernie was constantly moving up and down in the draft and if you really look at his record he didn’t start hitting pay dirt till 2004. JR just picks where he is supposed to and looks for value not sexy but that’s how it’s done.

Yeah,he shoud hire a real GM,although he might still be a middle tier drafter

pretty good at picking his coaches..Jason Garret is a lesser Sean Payton imho

Opposing passers will be made miserable,seasons ruined
there may be no excuses given,only Mouts Smashed

Which LB's make the cut?
Starters: Kiwi Goff Boley
Adrian Tracy Greg Jones Sintim Herzlich
Maybe keep Sintim if we PUP Osi..Thats it..PUP Osi!
Scout team:Paysinger

Let's pray Jerry never hires a GM

Jerry Jones killed a dynasty and is in the process of messing up Bill Parcells work down there. I pray the guy keeps following Al Davis down the path of do it yourself football ownership!

Ozzie Newsome is pretty good

but picking Boller really kept the Ravens from doing more damage for many years. That defense could’ve won one or two more Super Bowls.

That one is supposedly on Billick (and why he got fired)

Supposedly he stood up for Boller in draft bunker against the Wizard’s judgement. Oz supposedly liked a defensive guy in that draft and preferred a vet FA QB. But that was just the scuttlebutt I read.

"That's mostly fans who say that kind of stuff and they really don't understand the process. We have good players on the team. We're not looking to go out and make every sexy splash that can be made. We make solid football decisions. That's been happening for a long time," Reese said

He's been great at 1st rounders over the long haul..probably the best...

But can only find garbage and geezers at WR?

Absolutely

we should have tried to get him in FA.

Our Special teams coverage is a joke.

They look like a bunch kids chasing someone with no strategy.

I know I'm going to get killed for this

but the Philly FO is damn good too. Andy Reid does the drafting, but I’m talking about Banner/Roseman. Regardless of what you think of it, the way they manipulated the salary cap was masterful.

They took some huge risks to do it

Got to give them credit for giving Vick a home, cuttiing a lot of veterans to get that far below the cap so they can take advantage of the market. Will it bring them a championships….I have my doubts about the Eagles, they still have a lot of wholes on the O-line D-line and linebacker.

Not familiar with exactly how they did that,B

And objectivity is great..we all know who we root for,so…

Plax's performance last nite!

I’m surprised no one has mentioned it but he played like he never went to jail for 2 years.

by TrueBlue777 on Aug 22, 2011 12:04 PM EDT reply actions  

not bad

He did good .. but I want to see him up against a better corner .. he looks a lot thinner ( I know he hasn’t been around a facility in a while)

by wrxsti28 on Aug 22, 2011 12:09 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

He looked good

Let’s see how he does over a season. He is 34 y/o so let’s see whether his body and conditioning hold up.

Call me crazy I was not really suprised...

Plax was never about speed and his hands are underated. Still feels like bizaro world seeing him in that ugly green and white uniform.

If the Jest manage his playing time/snap count/his ankle,etc..watch out!

I would take him and his deal over SS12 without blinking!

I never thought of "LOL"

as real laughter. ROFL, or hahaha would be. Lol is like a “heh” or brief chortle in real life.

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

Boss

solid player and good citizen, but too much of an injury risk to invest major $$$$. Wouldn’t you know, he’s hurt already

by Cruz Control on Aug 22, 2011 2:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Gonna record and watch later tonight

Got a pennant race going on and will be watching the Braves game, but I look forward to catching this game at about 9 or so. Here’s to hoping we play well offensively with our starters for the time they are in.

It was a particularly small egg...thats why I asked.
