St. Louis Rams: First Look At This Week's Opponent
by Ed Valentine on Sep 14, 2011 11:01 AM EDT
in New York Giants News
Email
PrintThe St. Louis Rams will look awfully familiar to New York Giants fans on Monday night. There is, of course, ample reason for that.
They are coached by former Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. They have four former Giants on their roster -- safeties James Butler and Craig Dahl, defensive tackle Fred Robbins and linebacker Bryan Kehl.
Oh, one more thing that will look familiar to Giants' fans. The Rams enter Week 2 of the NFL season all beat up.
CB Ron Bartell (broken neck) and WR Danny Amendola (dislocated elbow) will not play. Running back RB Steven Jackson (quad), who is looking for a seventh straight 1,000-yard season, is unlikely to play. Second-year quarterback Sam Bradford will try to play despite a badly bruised index finger on his throwing hand.
Here is Spagnuolo on the radio Tuesday, sounding a refrain we have heard a lot around the Giants.
"We took some hits," Spagnuolo said. "It’s difficult to get any of them any time, but when they come in the first game, it was a little bit rough.
"But we got to bounce back. It’s a long season to go…. Hopefully the guys that are behind them are ready to go."
The Rams are 0-1 after a season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

We better not play a lot of zone again
I don’t need to see the Giants secondary look bad against the Rams on MNF.
Coughlin said the team had implemented both man-to-man and zone coverages into its defensive scheme going in, but opted to lean more toward zone coverage in the second half.
"We didn’t play a whole lot of man in the first half, but in order to incorporate some of the pressures you wanna put in, you gotta play some man coverage."

Forget "better football"
I’ll be happy if they start playing regular football.
I don’t care what the coverage scheme is, the DBs need to show some guts. I don’t remember seeing more than 1 or 2 plays where they were getting on the receiver, challenging them for the ball. There was way too much ‘sit 5 yards off while they make the catch, then try for the big hit but get juked out of your socks’ coverage going on.
On offense, I don’t know what it’s gonna take, but I almost hope Nicks sits on Monday because maybe it’ll force us to actually use the running game to full advantage.

“We must and I mean must play better” Right Eli? Yep I Agree coach “We have to play better” That’s my boy. Now let’s get some Ice cream son. Yayyyyyyyyy Thanks coach.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Yeah I'm not sure what to make of that either
I guess I just hope they address the admitted coverage issues better than they address the admitted problem with the RB carry disparity.

It is just plain stupid to use ALL the same audibles when playing against former teammates. When you let players go to division rivals, you have to expect that they’re going to do everything they can to help their new team win, especially against their former team. I realize that it might be difficult to change all that stuff for the whole offense, but when you’ve got a former Giant right on the line, who was with the team for many years and knows all the audibles just as well as the offense, it might be prudent to switch up at least a few of them.
by BleedBigBlue on Sep 14, 2011 12:06 PM EDT up reply actions
No one really changes the name of their audibles
they just usually change the audible it self……..“Omaha” in the first quarter is not the same as “Omaha” in the 3rd quarter, the name is not a big deal.

Continued
Grant said he didn’t want to give away the team’s future adjustments going forward, but he did say the Giants have played the Redskins "differently" in the past, meaning more man-to-man coverage."
"We had to, we had to," Grant said. "We don’t have as many guys as we did last year, so we had to be very conservative as to what we could throw at them. … Last year we played them more man-to-man. … I don’t wanna throw it out there, but we definitely played them differently."
So not having Thomas and Johnson means that KP, Rolle, Ross, Webster, and Grant can’t play man? That’s nonsense.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Then why have Coe on the roster
If he is that bad cut him
This is nonsense. Seriously if Coe is useless why not look into Hanson? Use him as the slot-nickel DB and let Ross and CWEB play press. Of course you toss a zone out every so often to keep em guessing, but I’m sick of this.
"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

Sorry I'm not a roster hound
I’d keep a kicker if it was useful rather than a CB that can’t cover at all

And for the record
I think Coe can play. His play in pre at least merits a peek a boo. I’m just disgusted with the way they make decisions. At least you try to do what you think is better, you give Coe or whoever a shot. Then if it stinks, you switch.
Giving up before you try is just cowardice.

Have to get back to attacking on D..
It’s very simple….we sit back and don’t blitz it’ll be a long ride back to LI for me!
It's OK we don't want anybody on the Giants bandwagon it's faster without all the dead weight!
Rex was on fire
He has games like that. However, when we were pressuring him, he started to crack. We had him in 3rd and long and only rushed 3. He had all day and got the first down. WTH?
I think it’s going to be a very long season.
What pissed me off more than anything else
Was when they only rushed 3 on 4th and 5. That was freaking ridiculous. At the very least rush 4 linemen and turn Greg Jones loose. That should have been a 10 yard sack.

in order to get the pressure you want, you gotta play some man-to-man >>>
after just saying…
“but opted to lean more toward zone coverage in the second half.”
…and you “opted” to do that because…things were going so well…???
Yeah
He recognized that man-to-man gets more pressure but he opted for another coverage. And people wonder why I bash Coughlin.

Thanks for replying
I’ve been scratching my head since I read it, thinking…
He didn’t just say what I thought he said; did he?
I admit, I’m no NFL caliber coach, so maybe they had some kind of plan like
“Well, if we keep their offense on the field, the chances of US commiting a turnover will be less”
“My God… that’s pure genius Kevin!!!”
I mean honestly
You guys get some long philiosophical answer and u dont wanna hear it
you get a short, sweet, duh, to the point answer and we still complain
i mean whats he supposed to say?

he didn't just SAY IT, they actually did it.
Honestly, I didn’t get to see as much of the 2nd half, but during the first half I saw Grossman fitting some balls into tight coverage. It sure seemed like the flood gates opened up in the 2nd after they “opted” to go with this coverage scheme and not put more pressure on him.
I like Tom and know he doesn’t even like having to do the conference thing, but don’t you think more pressure was a better way to go?
p.s. I’m more than willing to let this subject go and look forward to improvement on MNF
He should have said
I need to let Perry coach the D and worry about why BJ is getting so few carries and why Eli isnt using his full complement of targets

He didn’t really have the players to blitz like he would have liked to. Hopefully Tuck plays this week, and maybe Osi, and we can get after the QB every down like normal.

man to man requires getting to the quarterback
i think with our hurt pass rushers, they wanted to play it safe. If you cant get to the quarter back in man to man your gonna give up some huge plays
Wow.....
I didn’t realize that they were so beaten up. I REALLY like Jackson. He seemed like the personification of team player, and always seems to go out and play hard despite, let’s face it, being on the Rams.
This could be an interesting game. Anyone know how their O line is? Young QB, a few good hits could really rattle him. No Jackson is a very good thing for us, I think.
The Rams o-line looked horrible vs. the Eagles
They were pressuring with a four man rush, and when they blitzed, Bradford had half a second to get rid of the ball. This is why I’m saying we need Tuck and Osi back. We missed them both more than anyone realizes. Them being able to get a consistent pass rush only helps our secondary. Miami got no pressure on Brady on Monday, and he was able to sit back there and pick apart a decent defense. Say what you want about the o-line, but the d was getting zero rush. Same thing with Giants, they were only getting pressure when they blitzed 6-7 guys. When the Giants can get pressure withe a four or five man rush is when the defense excels. That starts with having Tuck and Osi.

Coughlin thinks it's all execution
To him his game-planning is fine and his in-game adjustments are fine. It’s the players who need to start playing better football. Someone needs to tell him that it’s his job to get those players to execute.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
It's nonsense to start
It’s the coaches job to create plays and a game plan that reduces the need to execute
If it’s aout execution that means the coaching stinks
"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
when they were in man coverage and blitzing
Rex Grossman looked lost. let’s please do some more of that this week
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.
His O line was lost
Peyton May Have The Wins!!
But Eli Will Have The Rings!!!

The question is why go away from the pressure
That’s what I can’t understand. I mean pressure is working so let’s go away from it not so smart IMO.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
In order to blitz you’ve better have corners who can cover because if you do not … which righ now we do not … You’ll give up huge plays in the passing game. Tthe Giants corners are also a tad on the sllow side so you’re safetey better be able to make plays … And our safeties do no. That’s the bad news the good news is Justin Tuck will be back next week and those double teams that JPP saw all game won’t be happening and whe you get pressure with 4 men you can run a lot of the zone stuff Fewell loves

Chemistry & Trust
Manning is going to have to develop chemistry and trust with his receivers, other than Nicks. Especially if Nicks can’t go this week
Execution
Lombardi knew how to get his players to execute, to the point where he’d say, this is the play we’re running, try and stop it
Eye of the tiger
or at least don’t pout.

Just watched
2007 SB highlights (again). That team was very competent. Improbable, yes, but competent.
That includes very lucky Eli, SS12, Jacobs, Bradshaw and on and on. Lots of the same people and the team is now incompetent? How could they be so composed on the big stage and look awful as of Sunday?
We now have a better, more talented seconday.
A better D line (debatable).
Ah! not as good an O line.
A much seasoned QB who seems to be losing that petulent pout (along with his abilaty to throw a football).
Running game the same.
Ah! LB ers not so good. We could get one of those LBs back if we wanted (Mitchel).
Ah! Special teams still suck
Receiving Corps yet to be determined
What’d I leave out?
Oh yeah the coaches. They are now ready to be put out to pasture, fired or oblivious.
SB is a good watch. We all are still feeding off that team’s competence.

I dont know if we were so composed then either
I just know when it came time for a big play from either side, we got it, thats the difference.

SB42 - Between the 10 minute opening drive and Q4..
..we hung on by our fingernails.
Then Boss makes the long catch and run and it’s like “Holy Crap we can win the SuperBowl”.
And it still took a minor miracle to get it done.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Go back and watch week 1 of that season.
Maybe I was in a different dimension, but the games looked about the same, as does the feel afterward.
Maybe the feeling afterward was the same
but if I’m remembering the game correctly, The offense (especially Eli) looked WAY better in that Dallas game than what I saw this past Sunday. It does give me hope for the defense, because that year it took a few weeks for the D to gel. Unfortunately, Fewell < Spags.

I don't konw the Rams well enough
but I know he’d be a great DC for us.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Yes
Although he’s got some talent, when it’s healthy. I didn’t think Bradford would be in Stafford, Ryan, Flacco’s league, but he surprised me last year.

Flacco is in those guys leagues??
I dont see it……. and the others arent in a healthy Stafford’s league IMO

Tuck's back right?
Bradford doesn’t do well if you can get pressure with the front four. Since the Rams passing game depends on the run and short passes you should be fine. The Rams receivers are horrible, the ball.

So now all of a sudden Tom Coughlin can’t coach …. and Eli is terrible ? Like seriously its the same ish …. I swear if you go back and read through every post its the same … after a loss its fire coughlin or what is eli doing …. after a win its oh we’re good again so let me stop talking shit about my team until they lose the next game …. Which isn’t as often as you think … You’re spoiled if you were Jet fans you probably woulda slit your wrists by now.
The Giants haven’t had a losing season in about 7 years but all I keep reading is how they’ve under achieved … Tom Coughlin can coach his ass off and Eli Manning is a great player … He’s the greatest QB in Franchise History yet your all too busy whining like a bunch of front runners to appreciate it.

the Giants haven't made the playoffs in two years
and have collapsed in each of the last two.
Keep pretending that everything is all good here in Big Blue Land.
