Giants Vs. Rams: Five Things To Watch

PrintI know you guys are waiting impatiently for the Monday Night Football meeting between the Spagnuolos and the Coughlins, otherwise known as the St. Louis Rams and New York Giants (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Here is a bit of an expanded game preview for your reading enjoyment.
I have included five things to watch, the final injury report and a few links to some of what has been written about the game over at SB Nation New York. Enjoy.
- Can The Giants Stay With The Running Game?: For whatever reason the Giants got away from the running game in the second half of their season-opening loss to Washington. Can they establish it Monday night, and then stick with it? Pounding Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw is still what the Giants do best, and they need to play to their strength. St. Louis gave up 236 yards rushing to Philadelphia, and that should bode well for the Giants.
- Can The Giants Convert On Third Down?: Another thing that has been talked about repeatedly during the past week is the failure of the Giants to convert on third down in the opener, when they went just 1-for-10. Veteran slot receiver Brandon Stokley has been added, largely because of those failings.
- Can The Rams Run The Ball?: Whether star running back Steven Jackson plays or not, St. Louis will try to establish the run. The Giants would like to make the Rams one-dimensional and make them throw. St. Louis has a second-year quarterback and an inexperienced group of receivers, and the Giants would like to take advantage of that.
- The Giants Secondary: Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said that five of the seven big passing plays by the Redskins in the season opener were the result of miscommunications by the Giants secondary. That is discouraging since this is largely the same group minus Terrell Thomas -- running the same scheme as a season ago. They have to get on the same page. Corners Aaron Ross and Corey Webster struggled in Week 1.
Here is the final injury report for Monday night's game:
New York Giants
Out
Prince Amukamara (CB), foot
Travis Beckum (TE), hamstring
Osi Umenyiora (DE), knee
Questionable
Hakeem Nicks (WR), knee
Justin Tuck (DE), neck
St. Louis Rams
Out
C.J. AhYou (DE), wrist
Doubtful
Danny Amendola (WR), elbow
Questionable
Steven Jackson (RB), quad
M. Hoomanawanui (TE), calf
Probable
Sam Bradford (QB), finger
Bradley Fletcher (CB), toe
Josh Hull (LB), hamstring

Look at the Falcons
They’ve struggled to run the ball most of the game against the Eagles and then BOOM! 60 yards gain by Turner who bursted through the middle.
Keep pounding Gmen and eventually the Rams D will get tired and give up a big play.

Running game
Very, very true. As long as the score is reasonable and it isn’t late you do not give up on the running game. You keep going to it.

5. Can the O-line protect Eli Manning?
There were some pass protection problems last week and we all know Spags likes to get pressure on the QB. Effectively running the ball would make this easier and open up play action passes.

Can we stay with the Run
That depends cause the Rams know all they have to do is “show” 8 in the box.. and as Killdrive knows.. you cant run if they show 8 in the box!

I hope so..
I was encouraged when I saw the 3 back set and then quickly discouraged when it worked and we abandoned it… only to have 3-10 shotgun draw plays… If I never see that play again, I could die a happy man.

I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.
Or what will be the new nickname supposedly always used by Gruden to call a player
Seriously have you ever heard Gruden use a nickname more than once with a player? I have the impression he spents more time thinking about a new nickname rather than getting a coaching job.

Its problably a bit much to say this is a must win
But I dont wanna be 0-2 going up against the eagles, a team that for some reason we cant seem to run against
One thing we DID do was stop the run against the rams so we should be able to handle that and make enough plays to beat the Rams

Will Coughin and Gilbride pull their head out of their arse and realize that a committment needs to be made to RUNNING THE BALL and that Brandon Jacobs should be the FEATURE back with Bradshaw spelling him as a changeup only?
Naa
Bradshaw is better..we need Jacobs to run more though. They should split it pretty evenly with Bradshaw getting a few more. Jacobs is the perfect changeup guy.

0-2 and the season is not over
I just don’t want to have to fish for positives on tuesday morning. If Eli and the O-line show up, I’ll be happy. A win over philly next week can turn the tide of the season.
We can always lose and still have positiveness the day after
It just depends on how the Giants lost the game.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
ha I was so disgusted by the loss week 1
I though some people were reaching for “positives.” It’s impossible for 22 NFL players to simultaneously have a bad game, so obviously there were going to be SOME “kudos” to be had, but overall it was tough to say anyting was positive. If we can definitively say that the run game was effective, or that Eli looked sharp tomorrow morning, I’ll be stoked.
Yeah that was the feeling this week
Reaching for positives, I felt that way too.

I saw a statistic somewhere on tv
that said that 54% (or a majority for all you mathematically disinclined folk) started out 1-1 or 0-2.

That sounds like an incorrect stat
Consider if 1/2 the teams started 0-2 or 1-1, then 1/2 the teams started 2-0
So then none of the teams are 1-1.
I’d expect that 75% of the teams start 0-2 or 1-1 and 25% start 2-0
"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
it was given to me by a commentator of a random game I was watching last week.
So I don’t doubt that the validity is questionable. But I kept it mind for all the bridge jumpers here.

If we lose to the Rams....
We can mail it in. Its not happening for us in this division.
There are people that will jump up and say “we won the Superbowl after we got smoked early”, which is true. But the difference that year was – 1) We played GOOD teams, not the Skins and Rams 2) We had the horses, but we had a new DC and they were not all on the same page. Here you have the SAME guys who played with Fewell last year, and they have no clue in coverage. Then you have nobody at LB….
The situations are not the same. If we lose to the Rams, mark it down, we are done.
I don’t think we will. I think we SHOULD win handily.
This season looks really weird
The Bills are playing well. The 49ers are not as bad as we thought. Redskins are playing tough too.
And on the other hand we have teams like the Steelers and the Giants who are struggling.
Anything is possible this season, really anything.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
Steelers were struggling. Till they won 24-0 yesterday.
And the Ravens, who killed Pittsburgh, lost to Tennessee, so figure that one out. Any team can win any game in the NFL, more so than any of the other major pro sports. One play can effectively change the outcome of the game.

The Steelers even struggled against the Hawks.
You can’t really say that they were totally dominant. They “just” scored 24 points against Seattle.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
The Skins are starting to look like a legitimately good team
Another win yesterday against a decent team with some big plays needed to pull it out. I think a lot of teams will be looking at Washington on the schedule as an easy ‘W", and a lot of teams could be surprised. We aren’t talking about last year’s Skins, things sometimes change fast in the NFL.
With the Rams I would be worried if we lost, as Spags still needs another year or two. But if you watch the Philadelphia game, they gave the Eagles fits in the first half.

I don't understand why the Giants wouldn't be discussing that now...
There is something to that story we just don’t know….. I have to think its more than just $
I'm saying it's two things
Ability to convert short yardage
Ability to convert third and long on defense
Those plays have more impact than almost any other “non big” plays. One keeps your offense on the field, other gets em back on the field. And it’s two things they’ve struggled with.
"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
If we fix that in one game
We fix a three year old problem at once. Seems unlikely, but would certainly be welcome

My biggies
Blown coverages and third down conversions. Also making sure we run the ball.
I know quarterbacks will complete passes. I want to see that we have guys actually near the ball when the passes are caught. The problem last week was not Grossman throwing for 300 yards, it was that those yards were on guy so wide open you could not tell who even missed the coverage.
Third Downs were obviously bad. We need someone to step up and become a viable option for that. Eli has no confidence in his receivers on third down and this will not only cause a lack of conversions, it could lead to him trying to force things to guys that are not open.
And I would love Jacobs to touch the ball more than 6 times. I am a big Jacobs fan, we need him to be more involved.
Maybe fewell was right--maybe it was just mental lapses
seems like every qb lit it up week 1. There was definitley a downward trend in passing yards week 2. I think a lot of it had to do with defenses lagging from the lockout—it’s natural that offenses would have the headstart/upper hand.
Look for a better peformance from the secondary in terms of cohesiveness and understanding of coverages/schemes this week. (after all, it couldn’t get any worse)
The Eagles lost...yeah!!!
That’ll put steam in a mans strides…We are now playing for sole posession of last place..yipee!!

The obvious key to this game...

Shocking!

If Tuck and Hakeem are in and we get way ahead or behind, I hope they rest them. Play the rooks.

I don’t know how anybody can miss what we have never ever seen. That’s Beckum being a factor in a game. He is really starting to remind me of Tim Carter, all potential no production.

as Ed said....i wouldnt normally be looking to week 3 already...
but it is nice to know that Vick is going to be out. So if we can limit McCoy’s impact…it’s going to be a great game.
in any case….run like crazy tonight and play solid D…1 – 1 will never look better.

Not sure that rule is applicable yet
I know that Madden has made a ton of suggestions but I don’t think that a concussion means automatically a game out. The requirements to get back on the field must be higher though.

Vick taking the concussion test
“So Mike, how many dogs do you see in that picture?”
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
I believe
there are 3 levels of tests that he has to pass, done by outside sources,
not the team medical staff, but don’t quote me. The sideline reporter, Tafoya said he had a neck injury as well, I guess Fat Andy didn’t want to talk about that.

I do not believe there is an absolute rule...unless you fail the battery of tests
Keep in mind though…studies suggest that a concussed player is up to three times more likely to suffer an additional concussion with head trauma.
Its a tough call.
They made the tests for concussions much more stringent.
He basically has to show no effects what so ever of the concussion in order to play. And with the added neck injury, I’d say doubtful for next week might be over stating it.

Osi
Why wouldn’t the Giants talk to Belichick about trading Osi for a Tight End?
The Pats could use an edge rusher. They are awesome on offense, and yes their TEs are a big part of that, but defensively they ARE vulnerable……
They have tight ends out the ying yang.
I don’t see why it would not make both teams better, and I don’t see the need to worry about improving the Pats because don’t you have to worry about improving your own team first so you can GET to the point where you have to worry about the Pats?
I still am skeptical we will see Osi play another down for the Giants. Sure hope Reese can get SOMETHING for it.
Because Bill wouldn't want a cry baby like Osi on his team
If Osi pulled that crap on the Pat’s they would have they would have gave him a one way ticket to the Bengals in a heartbeat. Good luck trying to get Mike Brown to renegotiate your contract with two years left on it.
by Late for Dinner on Sep 19, 2011 2:13 PM EDT up reply actions
What crap?
If we stepped back, it was just a disagreement between him and Reese over something he was told.
Osi is not a bad teammate and he loves to practice…Bill would love the guy to be honest.
BTW…… Osi will retire a Giant so we should give up on the trade talks, him being out just proves how much he is actually needed.

If Reese trades with Belichick
he better have boilerplate strapped to his rear and his hand on his wallet.
As a trader, Bill is a he-coon from the big woods and he loves for hounds
to chase him into the water.
Osi acted like an idiot
He had no leverage in his current situation so crying about what he and JR discussed without it being in writing is stupid. On top of that Osi and his agent are the only ones who think he out perforemed his contract. The Giants simply let him whine did nothing really and let him figure out on his own that he had zero leverage and he was playing for the Giants.
As long as we get Tuck back, JPP is going to make you miss Osi less and less every Sunday.

I'm not mad at Osi Blue
I’m sick of him crying about the contract he signed. He knew darn well when he signed it that the only thing that counted was the garunteed amount, he also knew the team could cancel said contract at it’s choosing, that’s why they gave him most of the money upfront. Yes his teamates and coaches forgave him and you know what, if he goes out there and knocks the crap out of some QB’s so will I, but please spare me the dramatics of trying to make the Giants redue your contract when you have not lived up to the one you got.
Randy Moss started crying about his contract last year and Bill traded his butt, so I highly doubt he would have put up with Osi’s tour de france routine. I’m also prepaired for him to cause more drama next season, when he deems his two years left as only one year left and pulls the same crap again.

Because, you don't trade a premier passrusher for tight end
The 4 cornerstones of a franchise are commonly held to be:
Franchise QB
Franchise Left Tackle
Franchise Cornerback
Franchise Passrusher
Regardless of how much the fans “Like” Osi at the moment, he is more valuable than any tight end. He has the ability to completely change a game and a season. Strip-sack at the right time, or KO the QB, and you can single-handedly change the course of a game or even season. Not even Gonzales in his prime could say that.
Not to mention the fact that there is a much greater disparity between good and great DE play than there is between good and great TE play.
Ok except.....
1) What happens if Osi turns out to be Barry Sanders or Carson Palmer 2? Both of those teams LOST in those situations. How does that HELP the Giants? I would say a TE is certainly a whole lot better than a bag full of air….
2) If you put Osi IN – that means you take JPP OUT??? So we drafted a guy to develop, he develops and so we will play him as a part timer sooooooo……. he can develop at the end of his deal, get a Monster deal ala Cofield and we can’t resign him.? Explain to me how that makes sense.
3) Osi is going to go out there an play awesome for us after he called our GM a liar he would never talked to again – then filed suit against the NFL based on the situation – then we put him in a corner and made him come crawling back with his tail between his legs? Would that motivate you to come back and contribute?
4) So we are saying “we are so jacked with talent, we will keep a plethora of high-priced DEs that we will rotate rather than find a starting TE, linebacker or a draft pick”
5) Is he a “premier passrusher” when we can’t even get a sniff for a 1st rounder? You are forgetting, many, like me, consider Osi and overall liability. He is completely one dimensional.
I don’t agree.
None of our DEs are high priced. Tuck needs a new deal, JPP is on a rookie contract, and Osi is barely making starters money this season.

Steve Smith
By the way, just the fact that Steve Smith was out there running around last night tells me the Giants and Reese flat out blew it on him….
I was convinced they never made him a good offer because they figured he was flat out DONE. Week two, and he is catching balls for the Eagles, and what they gave him as not earthshaking by any means.
Don’t understand it.
+10000000
i dont care what his stats are…he is out there and that is a huuuuuge problem cause now nothing Reese and them did in his situation makes sense.
However, i think he will be back in blue next year if there is no ill will between him and Reese.

I think Reese miscalculated this one pretty bad.
Yes, sure did
The thing is…… thats just the way he is. he doesnt leap after anything or anyone, look at the way he drafts, he stands pat and lets things come to him, same with FA, he is a cold business man. Sometimes it works but this time he played hard ball with guys who were fed up and felt they deserved more of an effort for their services.
I just hope he doesnt operate the same way with TT and Goff but he is in charge, so his word is wood, all we can do is stand behind him and hope he makes the right choices in the long run.

Smith is and Eagle and no amount of complaining is bringing him back this season
Mr. Mara said himself the Giants probably would not have brought him back at 2 mil this season, so blaming JR for Steve being on the Eagles is a waste of time. As fan’s it sucks that Steve is no longer here I get it. However the Giants have a business to run, based on their medical staff’s evaluation of Steve’s knee the Giant’s were only willing to risk 1 million on him for this season. Steve has to look out for himself so he goes to the highest bidder. It sucks but it’s part of the business of football. JR didn’t lowball him he gave him a fair offer, unfortunatly the Eagles were willing to go higher than we were for a WR coming off microfrature surgery.

If you were Steve
Would you take one million dollars less just to play for the Giants?

Why don't we wait and see what he's like in December.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they eagles are getting what they can out of him NOW, consequences be damned. Why should THEY care if he ends up ruining he knee and cutting his career short.
The Giants considered him a franchise player, and would have considered these things. IMO, that’s why they wanted to PUP him.
Football players want to play. I doubt it makes a lick of difference if Smith was given a competitive offer by the Giants. They wanted to bring him along slowly, the eagles didn’t. They’re not going to think about their future all that much, especially when they’re young. That’s probably why he didn’t even give them the chance to match.
Yep
I have no problem with the way the front office handled SS and Boss. They took the best offer, can’t blame them for that either, given the chance they are both one more knee issue and one more concussion from beying done. Loved having them in Blue. Time to move forward and accept things for what they are. And everyone, RELAX!! Geez, only played one game.

Good point..they tried to handle Mark Bavarro the same way..
He wound up with the 49ers after failing the physical with the Giants..The Giants wanted him to re-hab…He opted to play..It probably cost him a couple of years as a result..

Well we need 5 sacks to get back on track
to set the NFL record for number of sacks currently held by the 84 Bears. Go Big Blue, sack ’em !!
