New York Giants Notes: Osi Umenyiora Unlikely For Redskins

PrintGood morning, New York Giants fans! Here is your Tuesday morning notebook as the Giants begin to gear up Sunday's season opener against the Washington Redskins.
Let's start with some tidbits from head coach Tom Coughlin's Monday briefing with beat reporters.
- Defensive end Osi Umenyiora is not practicing and is unlikely to play against Washington. Coughlin said it is "a little early" for Umenyiora, still rehabbing from knee surgery.
- Bear Pascoe will play more tight end than fullback this season, leaving the bulk of the fullback work to rookie Henry Hynoski.
- Coughlin said "we will have to wait and see" when asked if Domenik Hixon would return punts against the Redskins.
Tight end Jake Ballard Monday addressed the well-documented concerns about the position he plays.
"When you lose a player like Kevin Boss, he is a great player and he caught a lot of balls for us last year. I guess it is hard for fans to realize that when he leaves, there is not going to be anybody here to replace him and I'm not saying anybody is trying to replace him. We are just trying to help out the team the best we can," Ballard said. "We are going to try hard to fill a void but I think these three guys all have something to bring to the table and I think that we are going to do well together."
Rookie linebacker Spencer Paysinger was asked about the team's decision to keep four rookie linebackers.
"I don't think there is any other team in the country that kept four rookie linebackers," Paysinger said. "All of us individually have something we can bring to special teams, Mark (Herzlich) is a bigger guy who can run down the field, Jacquian (Williams) can cover people and Greg (Jones) is really good inside the box and I can do a couple things, so we all bring something to the table."
Rex Grossman Will Be Redskins' Week 1 Starter Against New York Giants, According To Report - SB Nation DC
It appears the answer to the Redskins' quarterback quandary has been solved, for now. According to a report, Rex Grossman will be the Week 1 starter against the Giants.
Tiki has 'moved forward accordingly': agent
A Sports Illustrated report Monday quoted Tiki Barber’s agent, Mark Lepselter, as saying he is "flabbergasted that Tiki has not had an opportunity with any team, especially when rosters were at 90 players."
After the SI article caem out Lepselter said "You can’t worry about the things in life you can’t control and Tiki has moved forward accordingly.’’

cofield and smith still commenting on the giants...
What do we all think the impact will be from these 2 guys “spilling the beans” as far as the giants playbook.?? I am a bit concerned with smith…… I wasnt happy with these 2 going to div rivals but realize giants didnt have much choice. I am pretty sure come week 3 the eagles will be sitting smith down and pouring over his knowledge of the giants.
Don't worry about that
It’s not the first time a player goes to another team and share his knowledge. I think that never influenced the game actually. Teams adapt their playbook each season.

Everyone has our playbook, KG never changes
Except for the fake punt.
Then again, that call did not come from KG.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.

that doesnt matter at all dude this is the nfl
world class gameplanners and world class athletes carrying these gameplans out, with knowledge to make changes on the fly. this has never been, and will never be a problem in the nfl. high school, pop warner? mayber, not the NFL though

a media myth
the whole concept is so overrated. Teams playbook’s are vast. Teams game plan the week before the game. They use a small fraction of the playbook. Besides, we’ve faced both team enough to have a good understanding.
NY Post writer predicts 9-7
Stephen Schwartz says defense is good, offense questionable. I tend to agree.
disagree with Shwartz
9-7 is a bit low I still see 10 to 11 wins maybe more if things fall right…he based his assestment on smith & boss leaving. & TT injury,yet he did not take in account that most of our team is intact…that will go along way for us….7 L’s is possible but unlikly IMO

He has some valid points
Nicks will get more attention and may not have the exceptional season Giants need. That makes the O a questionmark.

Gives Manningham more opportunities
WE all saw how he played at the end of last year without Nicks and Smith

He might get a ton of double team
But after seeing him making a catch while Cromartie was holding him, I’m not worried about him making the catch even with 2 DB all over him.
They cannot pay too much attention to him though because Mario is also a threat.

If teams just try to shut down Nicks/MM
And play Hixon and Cruz with End of the bench guys, they will EXPLODE
Both have shown that they can blow up weak man covg

yup
I wld assume he wld do his due dilligence…but he just went along with the same assumptions that every other writer has…ss12 missed huge chunks last year…the o line players that left missed huge chunks…but we r suppose to be worst now that we’ve improved the line ..I don’t buy it…sure TE is a mystery but everything is until the games are played !

Yeah, everyone forgets that
a) Giants were down to 4th string center last year and most of the line was a revolving door.
2) Smith missed a big part of the season and they were playing with receivers who were literally signed off the couch.
iii) Boss was lousy last year with the most drops by a TE in the NFL and a terrible play where he didn’t just fall on that fumble.
But with those guys gone the team will fall apart. Really?

2 Things
1. Ha-ha Tiki, ya narcissitic jerk
2. Rex Grossman a solution?? First time in his life he has probably been called that.
Shanahan must think Beck's cardio-vascular endurance isn't up to the 2:00 drill yet.

I really don't understand how the Redskins think they have a chance
With Wrecks Grossman and some guy named Beck as the No 1 and 2 QB’s. I know the skins have improved but I just don’t see them having enough firepower to compete with us.
by Late for Dinner on Sep 6, 2011 8:58 AM EDT up reply actions
They have a chance because they are playing against a team that is its own enemy
If the Giants don’t shoot themselves in the foot as they did several times last year (and I’m not just talking about the Eagles debacle), the the Redskins don’t stand a chance.

Shanny is trying to prove he was more important than Elway

Grossman lit up our defense last year
If this defensive secondary is still giving up big plays, then we are going to have a bad season. Rolle and KP need to play infinitely better than they played last y ear.

any word on the progress of Amukamara?
The original timetable seems to have indicated that he should only be a couple weeks off by now

He’s about a month or 3 -4 games away from what I read…I don’t see him helping until after the bye wk…

I like this team a lil better than last yrs…granted TT is a huge lost…but the D on. Whole has a year under Fewel…LBZ are no worse in fact they r better…SS12 ws good when he suited up…hixon will do fine in the slot IMO more yac is just added extras !

I think they might get great (for the Giants of late) play from the LB position
The 3 starters are going to be pushed hard by the rooks, and hopefully that will light a fire under their ass, and give them the extra something they can use on the field. Guys tend to react when their job is in jeopardy.
You down wit JPP?
Yep I can see that happening
And Kiwi is the first guy whose job is in danger because he is more suited to play on the line.
When Osi gets back and sucks/gets injured, I hope that Fewell will put Kiwi back on the line, rotating with JPP. I want to see one of the rooks making plays with the defense.

I think Goff should be more concerned than Kiwi
I got banned from Jests Blog for saying Chad Henne has better stats than Mark Sanchez. And they think they're the big brothers in this town? LMAO try again little sisters!

???
Goff is still great against the run and has improved his coverage skills. Kiwi IMO is still a bit lost after the snap. You can see him waste a few steps before deciding in which direction he wants to go.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
I don't know if he's GREAT against the run
But it really wasn’t meant to be a knock on him, more of a praise for Jones. I think he’s going to really push Goff for playing time.

Just to support my case
http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/04/06/secret-superstar-jonathan-goff-new-york-giants/
But I agree with what you say about Jones too. The rookie has been impressive so far. Eventually he’ll outplay Goff but not his year. IMO Jones and Herzlich can both play SAM and can outperform Kiwi.
(I’ll admit I prefer Kiwi on the line rather than standing up ^^)
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
Don't know about that
Kiwi has always had trouble when the OT can get on him and get his hands on him
standing up in space, Kiwi gets to use his speed and agility, his strengths. Don’t go by preseason, it’s fools gold, cause the coaches have an agenda thats only loosely related to winning.

Leave Kiwi in one place
I can’t help but think he will play better. Pick one. I just hope his neck is OK.
I can see Paysinger taking over for Boley. Kind of a Wally Pipp thing. Boley gets a high ankle sprain, Paysinger comes in and Boley cannot get him off the field.

I'm really tired of all the obsession with SS-GONE
Yeah he would have been a great 3rd WR, but his health is suspect, and you want MM as the #2. MM, bigger, stronger, faster, healthier, should be entering his prime.
I officially can’t wait for Sunday

Platooning as the #3 till someone stands out and grabs it.

I know what I am not fine with
and that is Jernigan returning punts, TC needs to have his head examined if he allows that!

JJ will not be returning punts
Bank on it. Maybe in a rout where the Giants are up by 50 in the 4th.

This is a vague argument
Do we expect JJ to be returning punts 1st Qtr this week? Now thats an interesting topic!

let me go on record right now....
and say sure as heck hope not.
Look, i understand rookie gitters, in fact i’m still annoyed they cut Dodge….but this kid JJ is scaring me right now. He gotta get his head right b/c like JR said, it’s rookie gitters.

I'm wit you 2
Yeah I want to see JJ back there eventually, but let’s not throw him to the wolves. He needs to play some covg, get some snaps at WR develop his confidence.

I want to say that Hixon isn't fielding punts because of the same reason

DScott
I’d prefer to see bringing out kickoffs, I think he’d be sick at that. Plus, we know he can cover 100 yards and still be accelerating at the end.
I agree
KR is where a dead to rights speedster can kill. He has that extra second to get moving.
As for PRs I’d like to see Hixon get a shot. He was very good and as a 3rd/4th WR it’s a way to give his speed a few extra touches

Very well said by Ballard!
If he truly meant what he said, then he would be a great team player
The reason we kept 4 rookie linebackers??
Umm, let’s see. How about it is our weakest position? I like the approach. Rotate these guys and get them all valuable time on the field and use the individual skills against the right conditions.
No doubt there was opportunity
But you don’t think they sign a vet if those guys had been weak? No matter how you slice it, those guys were an impressive bunch. We’ll see where it goes, but these are athletic, physical guys. Definitely a new look.

ugh
missed FGs, fumbled snaps, not picking up fumbled….this is crazy.
the feeling i got when i visited one of the threads this weekend was pretty positive….
this looks gross. even for our backups….but i’ll keep watching.
TeamJPP
Yeah, the only thing I felt good about watching it live ...
was that their #1’s didn’t kill our #2’s. Otherwise, very sloppy.
But then I saw the reviews the next day, and it reminded me that the #4 pre-season game is just for looking at individual players on the bubble to see if they flash the potential to be keepers. Felt better after thinking about it that way.
no
in fact the one long drive they had…Sash was supposed to man up on Gonzalez and just left him completely open. Brady hit him for like a 15 yrd pass. Then There was a blatant hold on the LT on the 40 yard pass to Slater. That, with out question would have been called in the regular season. So our 2s and 3s did extremely well.

When the NE 2s come in
I think
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
You'll really enjoy the part
where the NE announcers are so busy talking about tweeting and the camera’s on some random dude texting on his phone in the stands that they miss the fake punt until Scott is already past everyone.
BTW
how bad are the Pats commentators? Watch for the point when the sideline reporter is speaking to Keegan Bradley. He tells him “since we know you’re such a huge Tom Brady fan, we got you his Jersey” He then holds it up and says “oh its a Bradley Jersey” realizing it was a #1 jersey with Bradley’s name on it, not Brady’s.
Bonus footage: they said Eli Manning and Madison Hedgecock started the game even though the network had the correct names up on the screen.

Well..
I like everything Ballard had to say and I want to see more of him, I know Beckum is the most gifted athletically, but I think Ballard ends up being more productive. Also think this group of rookies at LB position are going to bring a lot of energy, there will undoubtedly be some growing pains, but it’s going to be a lot of fun watching these kids come of age. And on a side note is anyone that surprised Tiki didn’t get a real good look? I’m not.
Can we all collectively bargain not to be douche bags ?
by colinlovestheknicks on Sep 6, 2011 10:12 AM EDT reply actions
Regarding Grossman...
The only way I see that move making any sense is that Shanny thinks Beck needs to get more comfortable with the system and is going to give him a few games with a clip board before he takes over.
AS for the predictions about 9-7…
The Oline looks more stable, Defense is a strength, ST is upgraded (how could it not be…) and the only noticeable down grades are TE and FB (work in progress).
Anyone else excited about Devin Thomas? I think he could be a real X-factor for us.
I was thinking that he's worried "his guy" is gonna get killed by that OL ...
and he’d rather throw Rex to the wolves until it settles down for him.
I know I said this last year, but I think it applies even more so in 2011: All of our NFC East rivals have way worse issues on their OL than we do. Tony Romo is going to be running for his life!
Ballard was on the roster last year. The reason that Pascoe got a chance was because Ballard got hurt. Implication: he’s decent.
by hopeforthefuture3 on Sep 6, 2011 10:52 AM EDT reply actions
Pascoe will only remain on the team only until Hynoski proves he can start
or Pascoe proves his being pushed backward on running plays this preseason was an aberration. Pascoe only has a job because Hynoski didn’t completely win over the coaches trust this preseason. I see Ballard being the first down and running down TE until/unless another TE is brought in.
" Pascoe only has a job because Hynoski didn’t completely win over the coaches trust this preseason"
Hynoski only has a job because Bear was split between two positions, stop it. Bear will take over as the starting TE and when any other TE comes in, Hynoski then hits the bench.

Have you been watching Pascoe block lately?
He was awful at both position: FB and TE.
New York Giants French blog (with croissants and wine)
Yup
Hynoski was awful as well, and dont just watch preseason, watch the player……simply his foot work and pad level…. the back and forth for a sixth round pick who has been a TE for years then abruptly switched to FB where he did an excellent job and now asked to do both just clearly got the best of him. He will be fine.
You have to believe that his excellent play at FB in the REGULAR SEASON last year trups his not so good play in the PRE-SEASON where no one on offense showed anything except our backs maybe and the O line was solid but no one else stood out….. I think players were taking it a lil easy trying to avoid the injury plague.
Pascoe will be just fine. The back and forth between Gerald (RB coach) and Pope (TE coach) and the different blocking techniques expected by both just seems to have caught up to him, once he exhales i think he is good to go.

Pascoe was far from excellent last year as a FB
Excellent is something like Vonta Leach. Pascoe was not excellent.
Pascoe did ok for a converted TE thats it. This training camp and preseason have shown that Pascoe is not blocking as well as he used to. You can give all the excuses you want, it doesn’t change the fact that he is not blocking well.
Hynoski is a rookie free agent so it’s quite normal to see him struggling right now. But for Pascoe, nope. This is his 3rd year in the league and he has played way better in the past. Right now Hynoski and Pascoe are at the same level but one is progressing while the other is going down.

I never think that there's something I can't do, whether it's beating my opponent one on one or practicing another hour because something about my game is just not right. - Magic
