New York Giants News And Notes: Packers-Giants Buildup Begins

Good morning New York Giants fans! Let's get started with your news and notes for today.

Let's begin the day by looking at what we have in the Big Blue View Transcripts section.

Head coach Tom Coughlin was asked during his Monday news conference if having played a close game with the Green Bay Packers a few weeks ago gave the Giants confidence heading into this weekend.

"It certainly gives us confidence in the fact that we went back and forth with them. It wasn't by any means a perfect game. They had the ball at the end of the game for example and it was a high-scoring affair," Coughlin said. "From the standpoint of having played against the world champions at home and done such a reasonable job but we all know what the challenges are going forward as well."

Defensive end Justin Tuck was asked if the Giants had wanted a rematch with the Packers after their earlier loss.

"I think we did, but more than anything we just wanted the opportunity to keep playing, regardless of who we were going to face," Tuck said. "It just happens to be the Green Bay Packers and we're looking forward to that, but we don't care who it is at this point. To be the best, you have to beat the best and we'll have that opportunity on Sunday."

Quarterback Eli Manning was asked how it feels to be one of the eight teams still playing.

"These are fun days - when you come in after a win knowing that you are one of the few teams still playing football right now. The guys should feel good about that. The coaches, everybody's in a great mood that we're continuing our season," Manning said. "It's good for the guys to feel good and relax and have big smiles, but all of a sudden now it's about getting focused and turning our attention to Green Bay, start looking at the film and look at our old game and figure out what we're going to have to do to win this game.

Star-divide

Now, for a look around the Inter-Google.

"That guy, he plays special teams, he plays in our dime package, he plays in our base package," defensive end Justin Tuck said, before adding with a smile: "For a white linebacker, he’s pretty versatile."

Even Tuck was baffled that the Giants, with a defense ranked near the bottom of the league, waited until Week 12 to summon Blackburn. "I have no idea why he wasn’t on the football team all this year," Tuck said, which is a question Blackburn had been asking, too.

"For whatever reason, I was overlooked," Blackburn said. "Things weren’t in the cards at the time. God blessed me with another opportunity and I’m just trying to make the most of it."

Blackburn is a "white linebacker"?

Jason Tuck is a racist? (kidding). But maybe he never heard of Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert, Ray Nitschke, Sam Huff.

Maybe the owner DID look into his eyes

And the resulting fear is what made him give Millen the job. That’s the only explanation as to why he kept the job for so long as well.

That reflects reality

I actually met the whole team after a pre season game in 2008 with one of those family and friends passes. He was by far the coolest guy (next to bradshaw who happened to be hitting on a girl we were with lol) But yeah man, Go Blackburn. If we go deep into the playoffs his jersey is being added to my collection.

Howard Cross said this weeks ago
Against the Falcons, an adjustment was made to more hat-on-hat blocking. The Giants were able to control the line of scrimmage and get their runners to the second level of the Falcons defense.

they also reacted to the D shading to the strong side or the FB side

so they started using less motion and running weak side without pulls to take advantage of the cheating LB’s

Good adjustments and play calling, because in the 1Q, they did more power O to the strong side and follow the FB.

Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

Rodgers

The man is a master. He’ll pick on Chase so I hope Blackburn eats his Wheaties Sunday morning. RBs and TEs over the middle all day – get ready. Makes a push up the middle all the more important – especially of Canty and Linval can get their arms up.

Here’s hoping that Chase can anticipate and make up for his lack of speed.

Just hope Ross plays. I like Prince as depth, not starting

One change is that we have Osi now

So we may be able to get some pressure. But Rodgers is very mobile so they may lure people in and run around the lost contain.

The defense is different now

The outside guys are healthier and the inside guys are playing with contained rage. Romo is just as mobile as Rodgers, and Sanchez has good legs too. They’re taking pretty disciplined rush lanes, and the DBs are playing tighter to force the QB to hold the ball a bit longer.

He’ll get some, but I think in round 2 the defense gets an advantage

They are stouter at the point of attack

If they stick to straight ahead blocking and let BJ get to their LBs he’ll loosen them up. If they try all the pulling stuff, their big guys will move laterally easier. I’d like to see this become a black and blue affair.

We had a short discussion the other day on this

He is immensely talented but also seems like a head case. There is no doubt on his talent. Just can he be tamed to be professional, not get penalties all day for head hits and follow the team rules.

I would take a flyer on him but I really don’t know enough about him personally. Can he behave well enough or do we have another crazy like Fat Albert?

Oh my God!

I just heard that Jerry Jones put 2 tickets to the NFC Championship Game on each GB player’s chair in their locker room!!

I’m not saying TC should make a big deal about that but he should make sure the Giants players are aware of it.

Not sure what you are saying

but I would be pretty confident that we are not aware of the relationship that Tuck and Blackburn have.

That being said, we have no basis to say a damn thing.

2011 packers are very similar to the 2007 patriots

and if are to advance to the NFC Championship, we are going to have to do it the exact same way we beat Darth Brady and Emperor Belichek. We need to hit Rodgers early and often. Thats it. Defense wins championships and ours needs to show up in a big way on Sunday. I’m confident in our chances though. Our D-Line is, in my opinion, better than the 2007 D-Line. I also believe our secondary is better, granted aaron ross plays this weekend. Tough, physical, smashmout New York football (yeah the Jets do a little of that too I’ll give them credit.)

If there's anything 2007 taught us.....

It’s that you don’t always need to be the best team to win. You just gotta stay in games, avoid disaster plays, and catch a few breaks…. and the longer the Giants can hang around on Sunday (and hopefully in the weeks after), the more the game turns from a one-sided matchup into a total coin-flip.

In ’07 at this exact time (when 8 teams were left), we probably would have ranked the Giants as the 5th-6th best team remaining… which is exactly what they are right now.

by tulls200 on Jan 10, 2012 8:56 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes - the old Parcells formula

Just get us into the 4th quarter with the game still on the line. At that point the pressure’s all on the Pack.

yup

right you are.

Last Sunday I thought for sure we had come out flat, and that the emotional drain of the previous four weeks had finally taken hold. But something unexpected happened and they got it all back again.

If they survived and got past the let down last week, I don’t think the same will happen again this week. Just gotta hang with ’em and give Eli the chance to do what he does better than anyone late.

It hurt Ryan last week

first series, first pass play he gets planted by Canty.
I was actually impressed he got up from it.
Was not dirty, was timely but Canty landed full weight.

He was pretty much in trouble right there.
The next series, they did not throw a pass

by SNORKIS on Jan 10, 2012 9:14 AM EST up reply actions  

by the time we actually sent a 3 man rush

Ryan was so scared he kept pushing throws and throwing out of bounds… I dont think we will scare Rodgers, I think we have to be honest and actually send 4-5 guys every play. If he sees we send 3, you know he will calm down and throw a 30 -50 yard completion.

Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

I'm not sure anyone can take hits from guys like Canty, JPP and Co. and not get affected

It affects the QB no matter what.

I think the we need to keep pressure at all times. Rodgers is good enough to see a 3 man rush and know he has time. My point was dont send 3. ever. unless you are disquising a blitz.

Last 3 Games I can't remember lining up 3 on the LOS

They brought 3, but every play there was 4 to 6 guys up on the line. That’s the trick, force them to account for guys whether we bring em or not.

one difference

Those Pats had an offense centered around the deep ball to Moss. This GB team has a short “West Coast” offense they can easily put into effect if Rodgers is getting pressured.

by BLUEYOU on Jan 10, 2012 9:21 AM EST up reply actions  

limit the YAC and get into the throwing lanes

in fact when they go 3-4 wide, I would tell the DLine if Rodgers is looking over you. Put your hands up!

I have seen many WRs/TEs/RBs all catch balls a yard or two from the first down and not even be able to twist or contort their body to get an inch.
