New York Giants News & Notes: Let's Do This Thing Edition

PrintGood morning, fellow Giants fans. It's Eagles week, and we all have our game faces on, don't we? This is one of two weekends during the NFL season that I walk around with that perpetual focused look and my wife has to ask what the heck I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about the Eagles, honey, and if I take this game face off, the Big Blue Universe might lose some of its edge. She is already dreading what will happen if the Giants lose--that I will be worthless the rest of the day, and that's a long day since the Giants are playing early. But I love this rivalry, and I look forward to Giants/Eagles every time because it brings out the best in both teams. Let's do this thing, guys (and gals).......
I have to say this--with each passing week, I'm less impressed with offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride. Here were two of the answers to questions posed to KG on Thursday:
On how important it is to control the ball: "No different with this week compared to any other week..."
On why the Eagles have won six straight in this rivalry: "I think they are just a good football team. Last year we were on the field and had the game and weren’t able to seal the deal...."
I wasn't there, and I'm only reading this and not watching his body language, but I want Gilbride to have a little more fire and let us know that he thinks the two games against Philly are the most important games on the schedule, not just another game as he is implying. I also feel like our offensive game plans never do enough to keep the other team guessing, which might partially explain being horrendous on third and fourth down. Am I wrong for feeling this way?
Giants still haunted by December loss to Eagles, but focused more on this week - The Washington Post
Losing to the Philadelphia Eagles at the Meadowlands in December is one they will never live down. How can anyone forget the Meadowlands Meltdown? The Giants had a 31-10 lead with less than eight minutes to play, and they not only lost the game, they managed to do it in regulation, squandering a chance to take over first place in the NFC East and ultimately costing themselves a playoff berth.
Okay, we know we're going to be reminded of this game a lot on Sunday, so let's resign ourselves to that fact and just think about this Sunday's game. I will say, though, that I was thrilled that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are doing the Packers/Bears game and not this one.
NY Giants need Randy Moss, should coax mercurial WR out of retirement to play with Eli Manning
Yes, it's a desperation call. But those are the kind that the Giants are going to have to start making if they're interested in salvaging a season that has been ravaged by injuries. Moss is the only free-agent receiver available with the kind of explosiveness that the Giants need right now. No disrespect to Victor Cruz, the Giants' second-year receiver, or Jerrel Jernigan, the rookie, but no one is going to get their popcorn ready to see them dance in the end zone.
I know some of you BBVers have mentioned Moss as a possibility, and while the guy can be a huge disruption, he's also got mad skills, and he can't possibly have lost all of them. I say give him a tryout.
New York Giants team report: Manningham not expected to play - NFL - Sporting News
WR Mario Manningham on Thursday had not yet been given medical clearance to practice, and it appears as if the big-play receiver is going to be doubtful to play in Sunday’s NFC East meeting with the Eagles.
I kind of wish we'd kept Derek Hagan around, but I guess that's just hindsight.
Philadelphia Eagles' Steve Smith has nothing to prove to New York Giants - ESPN New York
Ex-New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith told Philadelphia reporters on Wednesday that he has nothing to prove to his former team this week. "What do I have to prove? They know exactly what I can do," Smith said at the Eagles' practice facility, less than a week before the NFC East rivals meet for their Sunday afternoon showdown at Lincoln Financial Field.
Eagles rotate linebackers as all three starters switch roles | NJ.com
Only two games into the season, and already the Phildelphia Eagles have turned their starting linebackers into a merry-go-round. This week, the Eagles rotated all three of their starters, having them all switch positions — although none were demoted. Middle linebacker Casey Matthews was moved to weakside linebacker, Jamar Chaney has ben moved to middle linebacker and Moise Fokou will now start at strongside linebacker.
Here is some fantasy advice focusing on Hakeem Nicks, courtesy of the mother ship.
Finally, I'll leave you with an interesting read of "15 Things" to watch from someone who covers the Eagles.
It's go time, guys. Get your popcorn ready.....

Ball control isn't any more important this week?
Oh I see the problem, at some time in the past there was a split in reality and KG went off on his own little version.
your mom goes to college
not being facetious here
but how is ball control more important this week than other weeks? I don’t get why that was a poor statement by killdrive.
I believe that was the point KG was making, so......
you’re looking for trouble where it isn’t, Mike. Sounds like a little KG hate going on here. Next thing you’ll say is how he doesn’t know we have TE’s. C,mon, you’re better than that.
The other comment is more “ado about nothing”.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
KG = Not-so-bright
Keeping going wide with Jacobs & up the middle with Bradshaw, don’t run Jacobs on 3rd & 4th & 1, wide receiver screens to short side of the field, don’t throw it in the en-zone on 3 & goal from the 7, should i continue? Our offense is boring & so predictable. If I can call 65% of the plays from my couch, what do you think professional def coord can do? KG IS TERRIBLE & I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING THIS FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS FOR YEARS. We won the Superbowl because of a helmet catch & our D was great & held the pats to 14 points. Until KG & Quinn go we are a subpar team on Off & special teams.
Because the Eagles offense is not something the Giants want to see a lot of Sunday
Keeping the Giants defense off the field should be a huge priority this week. Giants offense matches up far better against the Eagles defense than the Giants D does against the Eagles offense.
The matchup in the passing game is bad enough already. Last thing they need is getting the secondary / linebackers worn out.

There are a TON of teams in the league
that the Giants defense matches up better against.
Really guys? Running the ball, controlling the clock, and keeping it away from Vick / Jackson / Maclin / McCoy isn’t the strategy you’d like to see this weekend?
your mom goes to college
by Oppenheimer919 on Sep 23, 2011 10:18 AM EDT up reply actions
as opposed to other games?
so we dont need to control the ball and the clock in any other games? i disagree with your argument completely. there was nothing wrong with what gilbride said. you want to do these things everytime you take the field regardless of who you are playing. you do no teach these aspects fo the game any mroe or any less depending on who you are playing. these are foundations for any offense no matter what the circumstance is.
by The Blood of Eli on Sep 23, 2011 10:29 AM EDT up reply actions
Of course you always try to control the ball
But there is no doubt that it becomes increasingly important when you have the types of favorable (Giants run offense vs Eagles run defense) and unfavorable (Giants pass D vs Eagles passing offense) matchups that exist in this game.
I’m not really even seeing how this is contraversial? Next week vs. Arizona, or the week after that vs. Seattle, ball control will still be important. Compared with the Eagles matchup though, the Giants have a better chance of winning either one of those games regardless of which offense controls the ball more.
Hence, its MORE important in this game to control the ball. Which is why, even though I’m not even a member of team fire Gilbride, its a dumb answer to an obvious question.

Proves that KG is an idiot and should be fired
On how important it is to control the ball: “No different with this week compared to any other week…”
It falls to TC, loyal to a fault and should be gone. Not because of the last two games but the last three years.
No, I don’t know who can replace him. I am not that knowledgeable. But it is clear, TC has lost his way, keeping an OC who is oblivious and an ST coach that…well, we all know.

serious question
how is ball control more important this week than any other game? I mean, obvioulsy it isn’t, that’s how you win football games; are people just upset that Killdrive didn’t show more passion the week leading to the Eagles game?
It is always important but
against the Eagles or any other high power offense it is more important.
I think it is as important against the Eagles as it can ever be, considering they are high power and our offense is erratic at best.

sorry, UJF
I gotta disagree. Gilbride may not be an offesnive mastermind, or particularly media savvy, but there was nothing wrong with that statement. Ball control may be more CHALLENGING, against an offense like Philly’s, but it is of the same importance every single week.
Ball control is more important this week because of...
the way that the eagles are built. Thier offense is currently ranked 9th in scoring. With an offense witj this kind of potency, it would behoove a coach to do what is necessary to keep the ball out of the hands of such an offense. If the offense ranked 30th than ball control would not be that big pf a deal. There is a difference.
Factology! Belief is ignorance.
by LoNJDTechnology on Sep 23, 2011 11:27 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
so he's an idoit in saying that ball control, which is always important
isn’t any different from week to week? You don’t want turnovers in any week, ever. I’m not sure Gilbride is the idiot in this case.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
He's an idiot
for not getting hysterical like the fans want him to be apparently. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
I am in the "gilbride must go" group
but i think this getting on him for that statement is totaly unwarranted.
I think the game plan balance should be different week to week
Depending on the level of control needed.
E.g. this week, even more running followed by play action and real screens, shorter throws etc. Some weeks you air it out more, I don’t think so this week. Not with a high power offense, two very good CBs and our erratic throwing arm called Eli.
It is not a total difference, just a balance difference.
Of course turnovers are always important, I would hope that giving the other team the ball is never a part of the game plan. But you never know, do you?
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

I don't think he's talking about turnovers,
more time of possession. The longer the Giants O is on the field, the less the Eagles O is on the field. So when you’re playing a high octane offense that is predicated on the big play, and can score fast, time of possession becomes even more important than against a team like the Rams.

the idea is to score more then the opponent
the best way to do that is to have the ball in your offense’s hands, and not in the other team’s offense. Doesn’t matter if you’re playing the 16-0 Patriots or the 0-16 Lions or the 6-0 Eagles.

Missing Manningham might be a big deal, bit I think it might help to have Cruz on the outside. Eli’s been forcing passing to Manningham and its obvious that tandem isn’t working on all cylinders as of yet.
And I don’t understand what people want Gilbride to say here. Do you want him to curl up in a ball and accept defeat like many are doing already? Do you want him to rabble rabble his anger and say fire everyone we’re going 4-12? There’s always this complaint about body language, like it actually matters

I suppose... though a lot of this is coming from our fans too.

At worst the Giants are mediocre, at best they are a contender, I remember when McVay sent out the punter on 3rd down.

I don't understand why anyone cares about what Gilbride says
It’s how the game is called, not how he talks about
If he says all the right things and calls all the wrong plays he’s an idiot

Killdrive or Gildbride needs to creative with the playcalling

True...only works when you actually run the ball every once in a while
but we know there are many reasons the run may be abandoned. They were better with in last week but they had a lead so they could afford to run the ball.

Good one BBI!
Assante has always been a gambler…pump fake his rear all day or hit the quick 2yd pass and let Nicks or whoever bowl him over. Samuels in not physical. Same Nnamdi…he likes to play a particular person on one side of the field he is not a traveler say like Revis.

pretty much exactly what I said the other day
Samuels due to the Eagles aggresive blitzing D (or at least having that mentality for many years) has basically perfected the “off” coverage.
he knows when the blitz is coming and he knows when to jump a route.
he’s not un beatable…he’s just smart.
I have no clue why he fell outta favor in PHilly w/ the coaches but i think he’s > DRC and while I don’t think he’s as good as some make him out to be….I think he’s good in that Defense in philly.
TeamJPP
I think ball control is especially important
Against explosive teams that have the potential to score relatively quickly like the eagles. We, more than likely, can’t win a shoot out against this team. We’ll need to keep the score low and time of possession +30-35 minutes.
Skip Bayless just predicted we win 21-20.
Not sure what to make of this…

posted this yesterday...winning won't be easy but it shouldn't be hard, either.
Can the Giants DBs step up and play inspired football? People need to admit that running the ball isn’t going to put 30+ points on the the board and with Nnamdi, Asante, and DRC back there Eli doesn’t really have the deck stacked in his favor when it comes to airing it out.
It all comes down to our DBs…they gotta play as a unit and play smart or they’re done. I’m sorry but having the ability to pressure the QB isn’t going to win this game. Monday night should have been all the evidence we need to see that JPP and Tuck themselves aren’t going to prevent every pass completion. They can’t always be standing there when a QB rolls out. Boley can’t always get a hand on a pass at the line of scrimmage. The DBs need to win this game by being accountable for their responsibilities and keeping an eye out for each other.
Wildcard – opportunity. Boley’s scoop and score isn’t going to happen every game but something just like it is definitely possible. The Giants can’t afford to squander any chance at putting points on the board. Players gotta hit big plays when they are there while being tuned in at all times to minimize all the Eagles big play opportunities (because they’ll be looking constantly). Small ball turned around – we can win this game with a big play just as much as we can lose it with one.
This game isn’t going to come down to individuals beating their man it’s gonna come down to heart. Giants gotta play with heart now more than ever.

NYG will need to score to win (duh)
They will need at least 27 to win this game. Iggles are too good not to score a bit on this Giants defense. But that’s just half of it
NYG 27 – Philly 23 Giant’s D plays inspired. No NYG turnovers. Good clock management and lots of running plays. Vick has an erratic day – great runs followed by stupid throws.
NYG 27 – Philly 38 Turnovers result in at least 10 Philly points. Vick is able to run and keeps the ball for 35 minutes of the game. Giants play with heart but that’s not enough against this team.
I will be fun to watch – I hope. It better be or I will run out of beer.

"Healed" is a relative term with this
Fractured ribs are one of the most painful injuries. Every time you breathe. Every time you move your torso. Its a killer. Its the reason most elderly people die of pneumonia following rib fractures…because it hurts too much to take deep breaths.
He will require “local” injections for pain control every game. But, that guy is a trooper. He is certainly no jay cutler. ha
I'm just saying that I highly doubt someone who actually has a punctured, and reportedly collapsed, lung...
would have been able to play 3 more qtrs of football last week. I think his injury was drummed up to be a lot more than it was.
That being said – rib injuries are extremely painful and I don’t discount that.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
MAKE IT WORK!!!
As a doctor, I will say...
It is possible. A small pneumothorax can seal up and be gone in just a few days. It is common to “pull” a chest tube or catheter the next day if there is no air leak from the lung. The rib will take time though. Although I am not sure he even needed intervention (meaning it was that small). You are correct, he did not “drop” his whole lung and finish the second half, it was probably very small, and likely a surprising finding on X-ray following the game.
He gets a few bad ass points in my book though. ha
ahh...thanks
See…you learn something new every day, right?
The pain thing is an issue though…I tried to stop my father from falling backwards and used my knee to prevent him from hitting the floor as I grabbed him. He didn’t hit the floor but my knee cracked 2 of his ribs and he was laid up for some time just from the pain.
Would the pain be any different depending on where along the rib the fracture occurs?
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
MAKE IT WORK!!!
That is an excellent question.
Location of rib fractures can play a role in severity of pain, although usually more related to associated injuries (i.e., overlying the spleen). Typically, fractures in along the backside of the rib tend be stabilized by musculature that surround and attach to them, and may be less painful. The more anterior fractures (in the front) move a lot with breathing causing pain. And multiple fractures along the same rib leads to a “flail chest” or floating segment, that can interfere with normal breathing.
Now, I feel like I’m on rounds with you. Ha.

okay guys...
I am sorry I offended some of you with the Gilbride comments, and maybe that was wrong of me to make something out of nothing, but I stand behind what I said about them needing to shake up their play-calling…..it’s boring, often predictable and almost never imaginative…and a lot of that is on KG
No need to apologize for bashing Killdrive
I’m sure I will be cursing him under my breath at some point Sunday, I can allready tell you the game plan will be predicatable and if we are lucky one wrinkle will be put in for Sunday. Since we are now down to basicallly one WR, he does deserve a break as there is only so much he is going to be able to do.
by Late for Dinner on Sep 23, 2011 11:12 AM EDT up reply actions
See above for why I don't think you have to apologize but
IMO if the Giants come out in the first half and go 60 / 40 pass / run ratio, as they have so many times in the Gilbride era, its going to take gift wrap (4 turnovers by the Eagles, something along those lines) for the Giants to pull this one out. Either that or Eli is going to have to have a career day (not that it couldn’t happen).
The comment about it being no more important than any other game has me bracing for that strategy already.

I think it's great if they let Vick and Romo play
Vick is gonna get hammered by our defense, his arrogance could cost him the rest of the season, same with Romo Washington’s D is going to hit him early and often and season could be in jeopardy after that game also.
You can see a lot just by observing-Yogi Berra
I don't think Vick was ever as bad as the theatrics around his injury was
I think the Cowboys are being a little short sighted letting Romo play with a cracked rib and punctured lung, not to mention everybody knows he is playing with it. But hey if they want to risk their QB 3rd week of the season that’s on them.

Not surprising in the least:
@MikeGarafolo Mike Garafolo
The Giants have re-signed WR Michael Clayton and placed WR Domenik Hixon on IR. #NYG
He knows the system (sorta), and he makes some punishing blocks on ST’s. Personally, I would rather have seen them bring up Chris Hogan. Kid’s a rare athlete (runs 4.3-40’s at 6’2", 220lbs), and they can cut him painlessly if he isn’t showing much when Barden comes back.
If Hogan was ready they would have
There is a lot more than running fast to playing WR in the NFL, we are watching Cruz learn and it’s painful, at least Clayton knows the offense and knows how to play the position in the Pro’s.

Always remember that the USA is an independant country partly because of the French. If it was not for the French, you would be watching rugby and TV ads for tea and roastbeef.
Thanks to the French, Americans can enjoy the NFL every Sunday :)
Ground and pound with Jacobs is the key to victory
on offense against Eagles, especially with Ham out. The O-line needs to play at better than the last two games also.
Greg Jones will bring it and serve notice in the NFL

IDK
But we can’t seem to run effectively against the Iggles… They stack the box because we can’t pass and the run doesn’t go anywhere… very frustrating.
With Diehl and Baas in the middle of the line I’m very worried about our ability to run the ball… Plus Killdrive calls the shots so that’s another thing that worries me.

I remember perfectly the PO game in 2008
We couldn’t run… we got stuffed on short yardage situations… god I can still remember this 4th and one…
I think I’m going to cry in foetal position under the shower right now…

I'd say Nicks & Cruz start
Stokley in the slot. Thomas or JJ in 4-wide sets

Our only hope
is for the Giants pass rush to annihilate Vick and for the offense to control the ball on the ground.
I think that we’re going to lose, but I still have some hope that our D line can make a difference against Philly’s O-Line.
It's going to be a long Sunday if the defense don't get to Vick and create turnovers.

While I love that they play at 1:00...
it could destroy football for the rest of the day for me if the games goes badly.
Let’s face it…if the Giants play like they did on Monday night they will get beat up.
Does anyone know any war heroes that can go give them some inspiration via a locker room speech? I could tell them about liberty in Australia but I don’t think that will be as motivational…although…eh, that’s another story altogether.

I should be shitfaced by the end of the game, I got some sam adams and some wild turkey rye.

Going to get some Southern Teir Pumpkin Ale.

Randy Moss
please let the man stay retired !!! We have hungry rookies, yes they are inexperienced but come on man,,,, give them a chance,,,,,,If Eli throws to them , they will have better stats than Mr Smith in Philly,,,,, He is not beating out their top 2 guys ….
Moss, it doesn't matter...
eli won’t be able to hit him and KG will get confused with his playcalling!
The Path to Enlightenment
What I want to see the Giants do on Sunday is line up with four wide outs so Philly brings in their dime package, and then run the ball up the middle with Jacobs. I want to see Jacobs plowing into their DBs all afternoon long. That could put a different spin on things. And here’s a trick play I designed just for the occasion: You know how when Eli is in the shot gun he likes to lean toward the line and call out blocking assignments and automatics and stuff like that? So, while he’s doing that, they have a direct snap to the running back. Hahahahaha!

with each passing week?
come on Mike! I’m sure someone already commented on this but, OC Gilbride has been the biggest mistake this regime has ever made. All Giants fans have wished for his ouster since his first year. How many 3rd and short pass plays have to fail before you stick with the run? He’s a joke!

don't you mean how many 3rd and short run plays have to fail before you try a pass?
