New York Giants News & Notes: Giants Try To Bury The Past

New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin understands who this week's opponent is. He, of course, knows the history. He also knows that his task this week is not to let the past influence what happens on Sunday when the Giants meet the Philadelphia Eagles.

"What I’m trying to do, okay, that was last year, this is this year. That’s the position I’m trying to take. We’re certainly aware of the fact what has taken place in the past. But we’re trying not to let that affect us right now as we prepare for this one," Coughlin said. " These teams have been playing each other for a long, long time. There is passion and all kind of things involved. Being in the division is important but every game is critical. A win is a win and that is what we are doing this for."

As he has had to way too many times already this season, Coughlin addressed the season-ending injury to wide receiver Domenik Hixon.

"Domenik worked so hard to get back. He is a great guy and a true pro. He studies and he works hard. He is great to his teammates," Coughlin said. "He carries himself with class and distinction and for a guy like that to make a great play and then be done for the season, that is a difficult blow."

Star-divide

Giants safety Antrel Rolle made some headlines earlier this week talking about looking forward to covering Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Rolle said Wednesday that he hoped Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick (concussion) would play because "I like going against the best." To be honest, I hope the rest of the Giants feel the same way. If the Giants win Sunday no one wants to hear Philly fans say "you only won because Vick didn't play."

Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin called Rolle "either insecure or scared" for talking about Jackson earlier in the week. Rolle, smartly, did not fuel the war of words when he talked to reporters.

"The game’s played on the field. It’s not played with words. It’s not played in the media," Rolle said. "The game’s played on the field. That’s something that we have to make our focus point and understand."

Loved this comment from quarterback Eli Manning when he was asked about dealing with all the injuries the Giants have suffered this season.

"You keep going. You keep preparing. If everything was easy and went perfectly, it kind of takes some of the fun out of it," Manning said. "It always makes it a great opportunity for some guys to step up and show what they’re made of and how they can go out there and make plays?"

Hakeem Nicks has another reception and Manning has an additional completion and 23 passing yards after a scoring change from the game Monday night.

With 6:37 remaining in the first quarter, the Giants faced a fourth-and-four from the Rams’ 32-yard line. Manning threw a pass to the left sideline for Nicks, who caught the ball as he was being interfered with by cornerback Bradley Fletcher. Referee Terry McAulay correctly announced that the Giants declined the penalty. But in the official game summary, it is written as no play with the Giants accepting the penalty.

The correction gives Nicks four catches for 38 yards in the game (and puts him over the 2,000-yard mark in his career at 2,002). Manning completed 19-of-30 passes for 223 yards.

Rolle needs to go hide. You do not want to fire up DeSean Jackson. Why do you have to say anything? Why not just say we will see you on the field. Nothing wrong with that.

I have been on Rolle’s case about some of what he has said. I give him credit for Wednesday, though. Nothing inflammatory, and he took the right attitude. Good stuff from him.

Listen to the interview

Joe and Evan asked him questions and he responeded like he should, when the comments are taken out of context it sounds like he is talking trash but he really is not. Same with Kiwi.

Oh please

Get of Antrel’s case, he didnt say anything wrong, if anybody went crazy its Maclin, his response was way off…..

Its like Antrel is not supposed to be himself, thats the issue too often we dont have a guy with enough confidence to even say something around here. We are normally the ones to say nothing and do nothing. I applaud Antrel.

Ray Lewis says the same thing he’s a leader, Antrel says it and he needs to go hide? so you like cowards yea okay.

Disagree

it’s refreshing having a NFL player answer honestly. There’s nothing more boring than Eli’s interviews with his cliche responses.

The bulletin board material is overrated and media BS. Do you really think the DJacks of the world can simply flip a switch and play better because of what Rolle said? Anyone that’s played sports understands it doesn’t work that way.

by GMen56-11 on Sep 22, 2011 12:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly right

It’s like saying DJax or any of these guys are loafing occasionally and when a guy like Rolle says something they decide to try harder.

I just don’t buy it. Like if Brady hadn’t chuckled at Plax’s game score prediction, the Giants D would have played worse.

"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

No...

problems at all with what Antrel said. He’s a talker; I guess we have all realized that by now. Some one needs to let other teams know that there won’t be none of that man-handling the Giants over here.

I mean for petes sake the most famous Giant was a mouthy tirant who disrespected everybody and everything in his way.

By the way, if you havent noticed most players from the U are very passionate and say what they feel especially the defensive players.

Aikman Game

Here’s a game I play when forced to listen to Troy Aikman. He has an annoying habit of inserting the word “what” in the middle of sentences where it doesn’t belong, i.e. “Brandon Jacobs has become a better runner than WHAT he was five years ago.” It annoys the shit out of me. I used to count them, but now I just yell “WHAT!!” back at him every time he does it. I urge you to try it. It’s very satisfying.

Eli said he likes to go out there and step up and make big plays

it does seem that he doesn’t play as well at the Linc as he does at the stadium against the Pheasants, but he has torched the Eagles in years past. Hopefully Becks is healthy so we can see if we have another weapon on the field.

Shame about Hixon, tho he did look a little slow. Him and Sintim I feel really bad for. Cadillac Williams I guess shows that 2 knee injuries aren’t really a death to your career, but probably for the Giants both are done.

Seems that many are touting this game as a sink or swim game for the Giants. Win, all is not lost and your everyday idiot expert is gonna have to actually pay attention to the Giants. Lose, and stick a fork in em. When in reality, win or lose it doesn’t say whether they’re playoff bound or not at all.

Hixon, TT, Sintim

All with second ACL tears in the same knee (I’m pretty sure thats true with all 3). I read something after the TT injury that said the second time they repair the same ACL, the recovery usually does not go as well. What a crazy coincidence for 3 guys to have the same situation on the same team. Feel bad for all 3 and hope they all are able to play again.

Hixon's, maybe

definitely the first one, but the 2nd one seemed he just landed awkwardly. TT definitely not, it was a freak occurrence. His foot was in the ground and then JPP was flopping around, something had to get injured. I didn’t see Sintim’s injury, but unless he injured it just running around I don’t think it was the field there either.

The JPP thing was more TT fault in a sense, he was just trying to add to a tackle all ready made but thats his aggresive nature…..no one to blame there, most D ends leave there feet on tackles these days, its how they are taught.

Beats me...

That’d be wild though, considering how much money is spent on the new-style artificial surfaces (I assume the turf at Giants stadium is more or less the same as other stadiums with the fake grass stuff).

 I really don’t know what to make of the Giants’ current injury situation. Its so far removed from the “normal” amount of serious injuries that you’d like to point your finger at something (short offseason, trainers, turf, etc) and say “yeah thats it”… I just don’t really feel comfortable blaming it on any of those things specifically.

Secondary acl reconstruction is much more difficult and faced with more challenging recoveries. Often times career ending.

Im glad that it happened when it happened if it had to happen.

They will all have the maximum time to get healthy since it happened so early and along with Goff they will all have eachother to push themselves through it.

Its a bad situation but the bright side is the time and the fact that none of them have to recover alone.

I think Eli

Should run the QB draw play at least a half dozen times. With Cole and Babin lining up 4 yards further out than normal, it will be a piece of pie for him to gain huge yardage up the middle. Then he will become an elite qb—-Top 5.
That is if the Giants win.
And he doesn’t fumble.
And he does it on a quick count.
And he is replaced by Carr who runs like someone who get’s sacked 70 times a year.

I think they changed something up on the OL that drive

Its easier to get in sync

with plays designed for a specific player…

Allowing Eli to sit and try to read a defense for 5 sec… while he doesnt trust his line.. and has no outlet except for a draw… ruins any chance at being successful..

That is why I gave KG kudos… When forced to run, he calls an absolutely amazing game.

I agree

But it wouldn’t surprise me at all, if they changed some pickups or figured out their spacing better

When things change like that, it’s usually not just play calls.

I still remember Flaherty schooling Beatty after a very rough series against Vikes. Then POW the running game was killing.

I didn’t notice as many plays with the ball being snapped with 1 or 0 seconds. There were a few. It seemed the Giants were trying to get the play in quicker and snap the ball quicker.

by GMen56-11 on Sep 22, 2011 12:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

New game plan?

Eli’s stats were so much better in the second half of Monday’s game for a reason: They had no WRs to throw to, so they went with short passes to the backs and quick slants to the receivers.

Once Manningham and Hixon were gone they had no choice but to modify their offensive attack. I wish Gilbride would have done that in The Redskins game. With the offensive line not quite there yet, Eli needs fewer double moves and 5/7 step drops and more 3 step drops, slants, and screens. It was really great to see Bradshaw catching the ball in space. The Giants had all but abandoned that aspect of the passing game.

With The Eagles secondary as strong as it is, and the linebackers suspect, I would say the best way to beat them is with the short, controlled passing game.

by Jonnyteach on Sep 22, 2011 9:28 AM EDT reply actions  

They need to mix it up more

If you always take the deep drop, the DL/Blitz knows where to go

If you mix it up, they have a moment where they have to locate the QB

cruz is so fortunate

b/c there just ain’t no one else to play WR.

after dropping that first down week 1 most WR’s on this team (especially those not named Nicks and MM) would have been benched or deactivated for 2-3 weeks

Barden did that and not only did this entire site write him off but TC and KG black balled him for a good 3 weeks.

they simply don’t have that luxury, so Cruz gets to go back out there and redeem himself, which he did….kinda.

Funny you dont seem to remeber when HAM first started out, he couldnt keep his hands on the ball, i mean he still cant lol.

Nicks had his fare share of drops but always made a huge play as well.

Nothing wrong with Cruz, just nerves, it basically happened to every Giants receiver except Steve Smith and even he had butter fingers and gave Eli his firs and only pick in the 07 playoffs.

to be fair to your point

one of the reasons Ham got a bigger roll in the offense was that Hixon got hurt in the 1st quarter of the dallas game, and nicks getting hurt against WAS the week before. Giant orginal depth chart then was Hix, SS12, Ham, Nicks. Once HIx and Nicks came back healthy a few weeks later, Hixon became the KR/PR and 4th WR.
So in summary, Ham got on the field due to injuries but won the job because he is a play maker. But still had growing pains with his mental laspes.

Fear Factor

Our coaches fear the mistakes, and so become captive to them

JJ had an awful time fielding punts in preseason so yeah we aren’t going to use him right away

But he also flashed some neat skills at WR, nifty footwork, explosive cuts, many teams would be using him already. Teach him one package for goal line or short yardage. Anyone thinks he is getting better deactivated is crazy.

Oh yea Cruz is in the slot, our slot at that, a very differnt position than HAM coming in but thats neither here nor there, my point and the only point that matters is young WR’s take time, thats all.

I remember one game where Nicks dropped like two bombs when he was wide open, fortunatly El threw him another one and that time he scored.

Cruz is a work in progress, I don’t want to write him off over the drop.

I remember as well

I was screaming at the TV then got really happy when he finally caught one

I think it was the sunday night eagle game

in 2009. He dropped two wide open bombs, then Eli threw like a 15 yard pass to him, and he broke a Asante tackle and ran like 50 yards for the TD

You are right.

I still don’t know what make of him yet. He showed promise when he started with us but looked shakey in the past fee games that he has played. I get the sense that the resl b cruz has not arrived.

Factology! Belief is ignorance.

by LoNJDTechnology on Sep 22, 2011 10:08 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

Yup

He’s a gamer, just getting his feet wet, the real Cruz will put it tgether soon, after every dropped ball he comes down and creams the kick returner on special teams, he wants to play, the passion is there. Thats what you look at to tell if someone wants to get better and he will.

How about some d Scott in space against the Eagle LB?

LeSean McCoy seems to work against us and other teams. I know Scott is a rookie, but speed kills.

Not to be a jerk but

What do the concussion tests consist of? MM has not been known for coming up big on testing type stuff.

Hopefully they make the guys take one BEFORE they get a concussion, to use as a control.

I hear Ross will be manning the Punt returns, I am a little concerned about him getting hurt. Although he has played so so he is still a starting CB and Coe is not the answer. With Ross’s injury history should we really let him retunr punts?

We all know

That TC won’t ever do that. Sometimes I think that he’s mad at these guys for being young and talented, and he’s scared to give them a chance cuz if they screw up he’ll have to answer for it. I don’t see why,…. with all the screwing up that has been going on with the Giants as of late, it shouldn’t even matter, take a chance, why don’t ’cha?

by PaulieKnucklez1 on Sep 22, 2011 1:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

With young RBs

it seems to be all about blitz pickup specifically and knowing the offense in general. That seems to determine their playing time as much as anything. I know you can have certain packages for guys but I guess they don’t want to be stuck and not be able to change to a different play.

Well going around the Eagles LB's wouldnt work

They are athletic and run to the ball very well…..going straight at them because of the wide nine technique played by the D line is the best option…….hence the reason why Jamaar was switched, its not that Casey was bad at all, he did an excellent job but he’s to small to play with that large of a gap between the tackles in front of him.

Jamaar can better take on guards on the second level.

Bradshaw

didn’t get any carries until week 8. He only had 6 carries leading into the Bills game. He breaks a long run in that game then the rest is history. He earned TC’s trust.

Think about it…leading by example…he put himself out there and sacrificed his knee during the preseason in 2008 and he teammates have all followed his example and stepped up with their own knee injuries – some guys with two on the SAME KNEE!!

Thanks, Osi! You are the heart, soul, and lower leg joint of this football team.

great point

I was at said game but was in the bathroom for the Bradshaw run (still made about that) Heard the stadium roar and was like “damn it what happened”, got back to my seat and my dad said “that rookie RB just got an 80 yard TD”.
The Mitchell INT-TD before that was a huge play too

We are so on the same page with this!

I know I made a lot of promises before SB42 (that I obviously forgot when Eli hit Plax) so you know, FOR SURE, that someone up there had a quiet moment before the game and did the same.

I said AFTER the game that they could lose every game from now on and I’d be happy because it really doesn’t get any better or bigger than 42. I changed my mind! I have held onto my cake for long enough and now I demand to be allowed to EAT IT!!
