New York Giants News and Notes: Saturday Reading Material Edition

PrintGood morning fellow Giants fans and welcome to the weekend. This is always a sad weekend for football fans, with an in-between weekend before the Super Bowl, and it makes fans of the Giants and Patriots even more anxious in this case. And despite the fact that the Pro Bowl is Sunday, it's pretty much an off-day, and the first indicator that another season is in the books, or will be soon. Before I make myself and all of you depressed (if I haven't already), let's see what news is floating around about the Giants this morning.....
NY Giants coach Tom Coughlin and New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick justify Bill Parcells' Super belief in them - NY Daily News
So much connects these two teams and two coaches, this game, but you might as well start with Parcells. He knows these two coaches as well as anybody, because both of them worked on his staff once at old Giants Stadium. Parcells promoted Belichick to defensive coordinator, and the two of them sure made some history together. Parcells not only hired Coughlin, but later ended up coaching against him in an AFC Championship Game. When asked about Belichick and Coughlin Friday morning Parcells immediately said, "Different guys, but the same coach, starting with the fact that they both paid their dues."
Giants vs. Patriots Super Bowl: Brandon Jacobs' 2-foot run is lost in glory of that one-handed catch | NJ.com
David Tyree’s spectacular leather-on-helmet catch is, rightfully so, remembered as the marquee play on that drive, the one where Giants history was made and the one that earned them their first Super Bowl title since 1990-91. But with that 2-yard gain on fourth-and-1, Jacobs and the offensive line kept it going, saving a timeout along the way and providing just enough of a breather to bring on two entirely different sets of personnel.
Giants fans remain true blue - Metro - The Boston Globe
Every Sunday morning growing up in Watertown, Barry Belotti would scramble into the back of his parents’ powder-blue ’59 Cadillac and head down to Providence for a family dinner. All through the feast, the stuffed mushrooms and the overflowing bowls of spaghetti and meatballs, Belotti was counting the minutes until 1 p.m., when his beloved New York Giants would take the field.
No Longer Doubted, Giants' Thomas Finds Niche On Special Teams | Fox News
Devin Thomas always believed he'd be an impact player in the National Football League, albeit with another team and in a far different role than the one he currently occupies with the New York Giants. Four years ago, the physically-gifted wide receiver was hailed as a potential future frontline player after bursting onto the radar of scouts and personnel executives with a sensational junior season at Michigan State
New York Giants playoff report: Jacquian Williams wearing a walking boot - NFL - Sporting News
Williams was immediately put in a walking boot and sat out practice Thursday and Friday and is not expected to get any work on the field until the Giants next Wednesday hold their first workout in Indianapolis. Williams said he is confident he will be able to practice next week and tried to assure everyone around him that he will unquestionably play in the Super Bowl.
The fact that this is probably very disturbing to you all means that this kid has made a remarkable impact in his rookie season.
Giants spent years perfecting winning formula | Reuters
The New York Giants are one win away from becoming the only National Football League (NFL) team with four Super Bowl wins in the last 25 years, a stunning turnaround for a franchise that always seemed to come up short in its early years.
Giants' DBs don't feel 'secondary' - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
the Giants' secondary looked like such an easy target that Mark Sanchez and the Jets threw 59 passes against them in the Christmas Eve game. That turned out to be a huge mistake, however, as the Giants' secondary was in the process of turning a corner. They blanketed the Jets' receivers, won that game and haven't lost since. And while the defense still lives and dies with the performance of its pass-rushing linemen, the performance of the secondary has been a big part of the five-game win streak that has landed the Giants in the Super Bowl.

Which Super Bowl team has the best hometown eats? | new, york, bowl - Life - The Orange County Register
The New York Giants and New England Patriots will face off on Super Bowl Sunday, but before the teams hit the gridiron there's another title at stake: best hometown cuisine. With both teams coming from regions rich in history, it wasn't hard to name some classic dishes. So make room for some baked beans next to the guacamole and wings, and put down the Pizza Hut – there's New York-style pie to be had
Take it from someone who no longer has access to New York pizza--there is no better food on the planet. We win that one, hands down! Enjoy your Saturday, everyone. And as Steve Weatherford so eloquently said as he sprinted across the Candlestick turf last Sunday,.......ah, never mind. I could get in trouble for that.

wow, I'm sure the J-Will / Gronkowski talk will be crazy
But I think Boley will be shouldering the brunt of that responsibility anyway…
I wonder with all of the Pats 2-TE sets if Boley and J-Will would see the field together a lot. Anybody know if they’re on the field at the same time much? I don’t really follow personnel packages.
I was thinking, too — is one of the reason’s for the Pats’ offensive success the fact that they often pass out of 2-TE sets? Normally 2 TEs is run all the way… I wonder if Belichick will keep Fewell on his heels by running out of the 2TE when we go linebacker-light, and passing when we go base 4-3 with Kiwanuka.
All this Gronkowski talk, but don’t forget that Hernandez is basically the same guy, same body, same skill set.
Jack’s Axe? Any thoughts on the 2-TE options for the Pats and how Brady checks into other options based on the D-personnel?
You PLAY to WIN the GAME.
Dear Tebow, please let the Giants beat the Patriots.
Now that you two put it that way it sounds much better
This is not the 2007 team.

Yes, the 2 TE set is traditionally a running
Formation, so it puts a lot of pressure on the defense. If you have run stopping personel, they’ll throw and vice-versa; however, they throw muxh more than they run. Fortunately, their running game is average at best.

Hernandez and Gronk are TEs, and you're a blocking TE
but really they’re nothing alike. They’re both really good tho.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
c'mon dude
I watched every single Patriots game this year and went to the Pats/Giants game.
Sure, Gronkowski is a bit bigger, but they are playing the same position.
If there’s anything you never get right, it’s tight ends. See: Tyron Smith, Travis Beckum

receiving tight ends
the only difference I see is that gronk gets the red zone looks because of the height difference. BB uses Hernandez occasionally out of the backfield.
Gronk’s a little stronger, Hernandez is a hair faster.
Basically? Just about the same role, and similar skill sets.
p.s. Tyron Smith, Travis Beckum, Jason Pierre Paul (another blocking tight end)

If they run the ball a ton it's to our advantage
Brady is so great at reading a defense and finding the big plays, if the ball isn’t in his hands it’s a win.
Also, I don’t see Hernandez as a big difference from Beckum. The big difference is use. They don’t have our outside threats, so they refocused their passing game to what they had. People here hate Beckum, but would we really want to see him get targets over our Big 3?
I’m more worried about the Deion Branch matchup. If they can win that matchup on the outside, it dictates safety coverage, and helps their underneath game. Without the deep threat, it gets awfully crowded over the middle.
Eli is our King!
I don't know if I agree 100%
I have this recurring concern that the patriots win based on QB pressure, dominating ToP with a good run game, etc… I’m saying what if they go all traditional Giants on us?

i am with you Simms-McConkey
BB is going to treat is as a reversed role. It will be like the Buffalo Superbowl that we won. He will treat us like he treated Buffalo in that game.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I am (was?)
one of the guys who said Bekum is (was?) a bust. I don’t make reactionary absolute type statements, and I didn’t think I was here either. I had had enough of him.
But he is making me reevaluate my thinking. Yet I agree, how many targets do we take away from the Big 3? Just keep doing what you are doing KG. Keep him down the line in Eli’s progressions and when appropriate, target him sooner.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
Its like he’s only played against the packers. Both games…then this past week against the 9ers…. oooooiihhhhh shiiiiit..maybe he’s our SECRET weaponry

Eli Manning is the opposite of Lebron James. If you ask Lebron for change for a dollar, he only gives you 75c because he doesnt have a fourth quarter. When Eli asks for change, he only takes one quarter because thats all he's gonna need.

It's almost impossible to tell the severity from the tape
Every ankle has different flexibility. But there is no way he plays at 100%. It just can’t heal that fast. However, Jack Youngblood played well in a Super Bowl on a broken leg. Best plan is to figure him at 100%.
Eli is our King!
Dawight Freeney from 2 SB's ago
Thats what Gronks injury reminds me of. Nasty sparian with ligament damage, he was hobbeled all week. They shot him before the SB and looked good in the begining but his health/play quickly deterioted as the game went on. Might be the same situation for Gronk this SB
speed scares me at the TE position more than size
Our LB crew (with the exception of Kiwi) know how to cover in space. In the last couple of games we’ve seen batted passes by Chase, Boley, and JWIll. Gronk at less than full health poses a small concern, Hernandez however keeps me up at night.
I think Radio will sit back with his 3 safety sets even against the 2 TE formation just to keep cover guys on those TE’s. Keeping our slower players at the line and not chasing these two all over the place. I might even put Ross on one of them.
Lets face it Belicheck don’t run. If they can bait the Pats into a running game, then the game is over as they will have nullified thier best weapon (Brady). This game could look a whole lot like the GB game if ya ask me.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
You are probably right about Fewell's game plan...
We all know that pressure will be the key. If they can get to Brady with 3 or 4 pass rushers then they will be fine. If the pass rush is weak then it could be a long day.

I believe it was against the Jets (I could be wrong though)
But in that game, Brady just managed the game the whole way through, and Green Ellis destroyed them. They will be able to run if Fewell has focused too much on pass defence (but I doubt he has)

But thats the Jets
They have no offense, so you can run and punt numerous times without pressure. The key is offensive efficiency. If we can score and put pressure on them, it makes their typical offense much harder to execute. That’s why they looked so good against Denver. Pats got a lead, could play and take good risks, and Denver’s defense was forced to gamble.
I’m happy if they try to run on us. A physical contest favors the Giants.
Eli is our King!
And them running it would
be an attempt to keep the game close, by theory. I don’t think the Pats, as currently constructed, can beat this version of the NY Giants in that type of game.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
I've rewatched the Giants-Patriots Super Bowl a couple of times since the Green Bay game
And that 4th and 1 where we run up the middle with Jacobs continues to impress me…the first time I rewatched, I was like, “Did we really call that play?!” Thank God Jacobs got it!!!

Right...the biggest difference between those Giants and these Giants is...
these Giants couldn’t get 2 inches in a short yardage situation.
That is unacceptable.

is definitely the O-Line. That SB42 line was a well oiled machine, this line is put together with Bondo, and show a bit of rust.
Thank god the driver has learned how to get the most outta this ol rig.

Question: Given the same situation this season, would you run BJ again on 4th and 1???
I think TC/KG probably would say yes, but given BJ’s short-yardage struggles, I’m not sure this community would agree.

Remember that pre season game this year with the fake punt….(happen to be against the pats)
I watched every game this year to see when it would come up in a real game (yes, I know that not Coughlins style)
Well this is the last game of the year if we’re gonna see it….
How crazy would that be if we did it to them in pre season and executed it successfully against them in the SuperBowl
Hey this is a blog if you can’t take 2 minutes to fantasize with me then I don’t need to hear your point how that would never happen – I’m just saying (it’s going to be a long week people – work with me)
"It is super important to come out right away and stuff it down people's throats and make them respect the run. We have Hakeem and Mario and Cruz and then they can get off as well. It starts with the running game always."

This will be the 6th time teams have rematched in the Super Bowl, the team that lost the first time is 1-3 in the second meeting…I assume there was a time that two teams met for a third time.

Devin Thomas.
I remember when this guy was at the top of just about everyones (BBV) craplist. I must say that he kind of redeemed himself a little in the championship game. read that he was drafted as a wide receiver, could be that he was brought in to fill the void should Manningham and Bardon leave next year?

I think he was brought onto the roster when the WR corp was decimated with injuries last season.
It was a depth thing and he probably gets no reps with the starters in practice when they are healthy. He was returning kicks until he muffed the two vs Dallas (I think).

NE and the TE's
81 is more versatile than 87. BB is crafty using him out of the backfield. Of course you could make the argument it is due to a not so strong running game. Gronk will play. If he is not effective this will keep their TE one dimensional, big advantage for us
dont underestimate their run game
they averaged 110.2 ypg (20th) in the league & theyve been averaging 121 in the playoffs. they dont run very often, but when they do it’s effective

It’s balls to the walls time…The players on both teams won’t care if they ache..won’t care if they are hurt…won’t care about their last game..won’t care if they get hurt..They’ll be coming to the fight with their gloves laced and taped..
Like Parcells said in ’86: “This is what you busted your asses all year for !!!!”…Both teams know it..The loser is quickly forgotten..just an afterthought, is all…runner-up means nothing at all..you just become a victim of a highlight film…So you go out there and leave everything..Blood, Sweat, energy and snot on that playing field..This is no drill..this is it..there is no tommorrow.

And he is supposed to play?
Unbelievable. Could this be one of those secrets that everybody inside of both teams knows the answer to?
His ankle is CRUSHED in this pic
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
Witten and the other TE dude , Gonzalez, Finley and the TE other dude, Davis and the other TE dude
That’s what the Gmen D has faced lately….aside from Davis …the opponents TE’s have been a none issue. I expect the same. Having Chase back has enable Boley to cover the TE bettter and not worry so much on the running. IMO.
1st time poster, just want to say hello to everyone here. Been reading you guys’ comments here for over a year. Here in Tennessee,we have a lot of Colts fans and Titans of course but not so many Giants fans. In fact I may be the only one. So you guys are the only connection I have with my Giants. I appreciate all your comments, and of course Festers gifs. As a young boy my favorite QB was Fran Tarkington. So, my favorite team was the Vikings. When he left in 1967, he went to play for the Giants. So I guess this will be my 45 year anniversry of being a nyg fan. The first 20 years were not so great. The 1970s were pretty much dominated by the Dophins, Steelers and the Cowboys. I can’t remember if the Giants even had a .500 season, it just seemed like they always sucked. After living through all the “lean” years, I savor every Superbowl appearance and am hoping we add another Lombardi to the case this year.

Those years made you strong. :-)
And should we start calling Festers gifs, “Festers Gifts?” Cause that’s what they feel like…
The truth. The REAL voice of reason

We all talk about the TE's of NE, and rightfully so...
But if we can’t stop Wes Welker, we aren’t going to win.

Yea you know me
Win Ugly.
-Eli Manning for MVP
Number one key is get to Brady bump the receivers at the line to help with the pass rush. If we do not get to Brady when he passes we will lose. that is the simply formula. I expect PF to dial up blitzes as you will see we have not blitzed all that much this year. Simple formula is hit Brady and get him on the ground and we keep it close and we get a chance. The Pats have a huge amount of talent on the Offensive side along with there talent on defense. I do not think this will be easier and in some ways even tougher than the win in San Fran. The Pats are playing to kill all the ghosts in the past and for the wife of their beloved owner. Do not give a pass on that motivation. it is very powerful.
i dont know about the motivation factor of owner
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
i dont know about the owner's wife death as motivation. Giants lost both the co-owners in the same season and we were motivated but did not go too far.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I don't think that will matter at all...but..
I applaud everyone of those players wearing that patch in tribute to their owners heartbreak..That is class..and it has helped Mr. Kraft come to grips with his loss..So hats off to the team for that..
