New York Giants News And Notes: Coughlin Calls Giants 'Battle-Tested'

Good morning, New York Giants fans! Let's look at what is being written and said about the Giants as we begin to gear up for Sunday's wild-card weekend playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Technically, the playoffs start this weekend. In reality, the last two weeks were 'win or go home' for the Giants, so they have been in playoff mode for a while now.
"We have been in playoff games for the last three weeks. We are battle tested in a lot of ways because we have played some really outstanding football teams all down through the second half of the season," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Monday during his meeting with reporters. "What I told them was the straight up truth, this is the playoffs. There are 12 teams in the playoffs and 20 teams go home, it is a single-elimination tournament and if you win, you go on. If you lose, you go home."
Coughlin was also asked if the approach to preparation changes now that the team is in the playoffs.
"The approach doesn't change all that much, to be honest with you. It's always focused on ahead regardless of whether there are issues, problems, we lost a game. It's always the work ethic, the team concept. Right at this point of the year, without a doubt you're helped by the circumstance, too. People understand and know what the consequences are of their play. The motivation is incredible. It's a great time of the year," Coughlin said. "We've had a million questions asked about our ability to finish, so that's always been in the back of our mind. We've talked about it openly. It was our goal at the very beginning of the year and the guys have bought into that, they see it.
"We have some people here that know how to win, that have done it in a very, very wonderful place not too long ago, that can share with a lot of others about what it takes at this time of the year to put yourself in that position or at least to get into the tournament."
Dirty Birds! Tuck ready for Atlanta's 'dirtbag' line | New York Daily News
[Justin] Tuck fired the first shot of wild-card week on Monday when he called the Falcons’ line "dirtbags" and acknowledged their well-earned reputation for dirty play. Twice this season opponents have ripped into the Atlanta line for "cheap" and dangerous tactics.
And Tuck said the Giants’ defensive lineman will be watching out for that during their playoff game at the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon.
"Yeah we’ve seen it. We know they have that quote-unquote ‘reputation,’" Tuck told reporters, one day after the Giants’ clinched the NFC East championship with a 31-14 win over the Cowboys. "Most people, you would call them dirt bags.
"But it is what it is. We got to make sure we do our job and if we are doing our job well. Then they will be upset and they will be trying to do things to get us off our game, and we’ve got to take that as a compliment."
Hynoski shows a knack for hurdling
"It was definitely fun," he said. "I could do those things, I can get out and block and catch and any way I can help the team out, whether I have to run all [isolation] blocks all game or I have to catch a bunch of passes, I don’t care, as long as I do my part to help the team win."

Coughlin is right
this team has been in more tight games, played a killer 2nd half schedule, including 2 ‘elimination’ games……you’re damn right they’re battle tested
Hynoski and Cruz are lessons
Too many here give up immediately if there is not sufficient production from a newbie.
Give JJ, Prince and other rooks a chance to prove themselves. Often it takes more than one season.
Be patient out there folks. One fumble or a few mistakes, so what.
On the other hand, if they turn out to be Lady Beckum, time to cut the cord.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TC, TQ, PF, KG, DD and KMac 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.

Dear Spanokopita
I know not of what you speak. Are we on Sister Mary Beckum again?
There is NOBODY else that is a rookie that I have wanted to get rid of other than Dodge. He was dangerous, not just unproductive. And apparently, the Giants agreed and I was right.

On Dodge
If they covered last season remotely as well as this season, Dodge would still be our punter and we’d probably be happy.
Dodge was better in preseason, and last few weeks Weatherford has had some pretty interesting kicks at interesting times. Weatherford has been fine, but I don’t see HIM as a big improvement. I see the entire punting game as improved.
It’s already a wrap… might as well not show up tomorrow.

While Weatherford has been errant lately
His directional kicking and placement is much better.
To my knowledge, Dodge is still unemployed. I did not like his “my mother still loves me attitude” after the major goof in the Iggles game.
True, our coverage is better, certainly due to Izzo not Quinn.
It would not surprise me to see Dodge again here or somewhere. Some maturity and more coaching might help. He has a good leg, just not a good head. That can be worked on.

I thought Weatherford was good
But it’s a strange time to see his kicks get shaky, that concerns me. We got really lucky when Dex muffed the liner, he catches that on the run, it could be 7.
Dodge, was over his head last year. I thought it was the directional kicking. The coach may have wanted it, but he was clearly struggling a bit with everything. The smart move would have been to tell him to kick it as high as possible and not worry as much about distance.
What concerned me most about Dodge was his shaky hands. But in camp this year he looked much improved. I’d have another open comp in camp. With our new kids on STs he could be a weapon.

I don't miss Dodge one bit
It was more than just poor kick off coverage, with Dodge you just never knew what was going to happen, was he going to punt it 60 yards or was he going to whiff the kick, was the ball going to have hang time or was the ball going to be a line drive kick right to the return man.
Dodge may end up being a good punter in the NFL, but he was not ready when the Giants gave him the opportunity.

True enough
But Weatherford hasn’t been that big of an improvement, and if you factor out the covg improvement, the change may be more psychological than actual performance.

Huh?
Weatherford has been a HUGE improvement.
Gi-normous.
As we have pointed out before, Matt Dodge was SOOOOOOO good, that he never got a sniff from another NFL team….. think about that…. his HUGE leg and all that, can’t get a tryout with other teams……
Please explain the non coverage related improvement
Their net avgs are about 5 yds difference, that includes a blocked punt where our blockers didn’t and that great work vs Dez Bryant and DeSean Jackson
Biggest difference in the punting game has been the coverage, highlighted by the rooks

There are 32 pro punters
Many teams won’t even pay for a guys plane ticket to work out a punter
How many did we bring in last season when Dodge was struggling? I’m not sure that its a measure of anything.

This is why i say hes a big improvement. With out looking at stats, Weatherford had had many more kicks land within the 20 than Dodge has.

Battle tested.
Yes we are. Most of said early in the year that if we survived this schedule and made it to the dance that that schedule would be a positive.
Now we get to see if this is true. Our first test was against Dallas and we passed it with distinction.
Atlanta poses some problems with their balance on offense. But for the first time this season I actually have confidence in our D after the last two games. I don’t recall seeing guys in our secondary looking clueless.
Our O is our strength and I trust them, especially against a team like Atlanta with a weak pass rush.
It will be a good battle. Atlanta better bring their toughness cause they gonna need it

Color me shocked if we don't try to turn this into a slugfest
They look smallish across their Def front 7, BJ and AB have been best on the power runs lately.
They can really spread the field on offense, but against the Saints week 15 they struggled mightily with pressure. With Roddy White and Julio Jones, you’ll give up some big plays, but the approach from the last 2 games would seem to be warranted.

Well
According to the Falcons they pretty much have this game wrapped up. Over at their site all i keep reading is that Grimes will shut down Cruz and that we wont be able to run the ball on thier D making us have to throw. I just thank god they havent watched us this year WE HAVENT HAD A RUNNING GAME ALL YEAR. It has been thrown on Elis shoulder all year and he has carried this team. BUT the good thing is we look to be coming around with our Running Game. I just cant wait to this game to HOPEFULLY shut some folks up. This is so reminding me of 07 remember the Buccs said Eli couldnt beat them then we went into Dallas where we had no SHOT??? Hopefully it is a repeat of 07
go head
shut Cruz down (hasn’t exactly happened yet). By all means, put Grimes on him..your best corner. Double and triple cover him..but all means.
Hakeem Nicks will show his ass and the Falcons secondary will know how it taste.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
ohh i agree
100% funny thing is double him or double both players if you need we have Ballard coming back and we still have MM and not to mention with the new wrinkle of Eli throwing to Hyno it now becomes how to stop it. I dont think they could shut any of our Recievers down nor do i believe they can slow down our O. But I believe we can get pressure on Ryan with just our front 4 and if we can I believe we win easily.
5 yard for bad visual
but you are most likely correct. Whomever they double, the other guy gets the ball. And if we have MM or even Barden, that makes it worse for them.
Then Diehl reports eligible. catches a pass and hurdles a few tacklers.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

That would
Just put the icing on the cake but i dont think KG would do it lmao. The main thing is we dont wait till the 2nd qtr to get going. We need to start fast
Well we played some pretty stout run Ds that stacked the box
When I look at the ATL front, it looks on the light side, if our coaches forget all the pulling crap, and let our beef get up in their grill, I like AB and BJ one on one with their LBz /DBs.
I don’t think they’ll be pushovers, but our edge is power, TC loves power, it’s hard not to see us trying it
As for our passing game, Cruz reminds me of Steve Smith Carolina, he’s not a huge guy, but he plays a lot bigger and more powerful. I suspect it’s his basketball background. He makes catches in traffic with contact and he makes them routine. Like Smith he wasn’t supposed to make it big, so he works harder. If they are going to shut him down, it will be more than man covg. They’ll have to confuse him into making bad reads.

I hope we go power.
It is our strength..even with Bradshaw who i feel is a better power back thank Jacobs in in more Down/distances.
We need to stay away from running off tackle, slow developing run plays on 3 & shorts and stick to quick hard hole hitting run plays. Thats when I feel Jake gets it done the best.
As far as ATLs Defense..they are fast. So we got to hit em straight. NOrth and South to keep em in the box..then put their backs on islands with Nicks, Cruz, and Ham.
Oh yea…tell Coach Coughlin to have the guys practice outside all week! We hae some young wr’s who I dont think have that verteren knowledge of playoff football in New York.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
Yep, looks like the Falcons already looked passed us and waiting on the Niners or someone else .
Last week they were hoping to get the Giants but they better be careful for what they wish for. The Falcons have not beaten a winning team in the past few weeks. They beat up on the Jags and Bucks and now think its gonna be a cake walk.
Meh
I doubt as many people as you think actually think this game will be easy

Just because the fans and media are overconfident doesn’t mean that the Falcons players and coaches are taking us lightly.

I'm hoping that these new HC vacancies don't have an effect on our OC and DC
Coordinators tend to want to shine and audition for the head coaching jobs during this time of the year. We need KG and especially PF to keep it simple during this playoff push.
Quinn must go !!
I understand the playoff concern
but if PF leaves after the POs and we get Spags back, that would be good.
KG can go if he wants, I think this O can do better. Last two games good plans, many other games, not so good. Everyone in the world knows what we are doing.

I have no problems with PF becoming a memory, I’m 50-50 on KG…I just don’t want to see PF using this as a stage to get creative and try new and stupid things. And the Omaha thing is a pain in the rear. It’s not the first time the Collingsworth has pointed that out. Hell, Stevie Wonder could jump the snap after hearing Omaha, Omaha.

Off topic random thought
I know Hakeem Nicks has huge hands but I wish he put the ball away when running in the open field. One of these days that thing is gonna get slapped out of there.

Yea when i saw
him holding that ball out i was screaming for him to put it away. There was a Dallas player coming who almost stripped it from him.
that's how he runs with the ball
I don’t think he’s had any issue with the ball getting slapped out in the past. And his hands might as well be like holding it between his arm.

I've seen more players fumble with the ball tucked into their arm instead of carrying it out like that
if you can do it, you do it. Nicks has no ball security issues at all. Whether it annoys you on your couch couldn’t matter any less.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Of course you have
That’s b/c 99.9% of players tuck it under their arm so of course you have seen more fumbles that way. If they carried it like Nicks, there would be more fumbles. Stop making illogical arguements to justify poor fundamentals.

Agreed...Carrying the ball like he does is fundamentally wrong..
The cause of most fumbles is they don’t switch the ball from one arm to the other like they are supposed to..and defenses are aiming to punch it out..Carrying the ball like Nicks does is just plain nuts..They start teaching how to carry a ball correctly in Pop-Warner..Rorsch just likes to stir the stew..

Tommy d stated my concern
It’s much easier for that guy you don’t see to strip a ball that’s being palmed than one that is put away. Just because it’s possible for it to be stripped carrying it the right way is no excuse to abandon fundamentals.
by G-FANinFL on Jan 3, 2012 10:59 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
that's more likely to happen if the balls tucked in by his arm
its closer to the defender and closer to where the defender’s arm is gonna wrap up.

He holds it away from the defenders
He has great awareness of who is around him. I still don’t like it, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Funniest year in years
Every game (almost) a heart stopper. Will refrain from expounding on what I’ve learned to be uninformed opinions on mgmt and such, bottom line: this team can play when it wants to.
But — this is something both bugging and worrying me: Bradshaws habit of holding out the ball, full wing span, in victory before effectively crossing the pylon. It could be a recipe for disaster — he doesn’t have eyes in the back of his head, the ball could slip, etc. I hope the coached are talking to him about it. Keep it tucked before you cross, man. And Hakeem, same thing after the catch. The holding it in one hand thing always inches the anxiety up a notch.
Atlanta is full of hot air, among other things.
They might pressure us, they might even sack Eli every once in a while….but they won’t have as many sacks as us, and Eli will pick apart their secondary. Grimes? Are you kidding me? They just don’t have an awesome backfield over there.
Eli’s gonna show them exactly what they are: not good.
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...
We are battle tested
As far as coaches go Tom and Bill B were the coaches no player wants to play for. Funny how both of these guys are in the playoffs. As far as Atlanta goes they are 4 and 4 on the road so just a 500 team and now they have to come to cold ass Met Life stadium. I like our chances. Hardest schedule in the NFL and we survived so let’s get it on!
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.

And two coaches that guys want to play for. Rex Ryan and Raheem Morris…both will be watching the playoffs. One from his couch and the other from the unemploment line……go figure.

I don't think ATL has played in a cold outdoor game this season

Falcoholic
Have any of you guys been on the Falcoholic site? Their “Can We Beat the Giants” post is very entertaining. I mean wow.. I’m not saying that the Giants will blow the Falcons out but some of their comments are really out there. I have nothing but respect for Atlanta but seriously, they need to at least appreciate some of the talented players on the Giants. The comments on Cruz being average is laughable. It’s the same thing other teams have said before they play us.
if "you are what your record says you are"
then you have to give Atlanta the nod as the team to beat in this game. They are a very good team, with a lot of great weapons. Were it not for the Saints they’d be 13-3 division champs… I was surprised to see the Giants open the line as favorites.
nygmen123: Again, without Vick or Maclin, or Cromartie. Injuries don't seem to bother them. They just bring in guys to make plays
nygmen123: Stopped the Pats on the first series. Planted Brady twice. Guess what gang? This team isn't quitting. Or making excuses.
Simms-McC: Yeah -- I wish the Giants were more like the Eagles
nygmen123: In intensity and fight? Right now, so do I.
EAGLES LOSE, 38-20.

really??
Giants open the line as favorites
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
well, 3 point spread
home team gets 3, so basically they’re calling it a wash on a neutral site. But it’s not a neutral site, it’s the filthy swamps of Northern Jersey in January.
You're right: generally, you are what your record says you are.
But, they face the Saints twice every season. They are a familiar foe.
They also play St. Louis twice every season, don’t they?
And the Bucs twice every season?
So yes, your record says something about you, but if it determined exactly who you are, then we wouldn’t have won a SB in recent history.
I think, especially in this context, your record says more about who you WERE.
Not necessarily who you’re GOING TO BE.

Thanks for the link. Thoughts:
1. Really, really glad we have quality writers on BBV. That piece was poorly written.
2. We like to throw to the fullback out of the backfield? Well, Caleb watched the Dallas game – beyond that, I’m not sure he’s seen the team all year.
3. We have two 1,000+ yard wideouts. “Neither strikes fear” in his heart. A good performance from them? He “just doesn’t see it, personally”. OK, so our passing game won’t work? Right!
4. NOT ONE MENTION of the DL, the pass rush, etc.
5. “Eli will probably not win the game for them if we get to him early and often”. Ever heard of a 4th quarter comeback, which happens when teams get after you early and often during quarters 1-3?
Overall, a fine piece of work, I’d say! Looking forward to a quality breakdown from BBV later in the week.

No doubt. And it's 35 degrees right now in Rome Georgia, less than an hour Northeast of Atlanta.
I just wanted to point out how cold it has been here in Georgia the past few days.
If I were Mike Smith I would have them out in the cold if its possible. I don’t know where they practice, but I am a believer in practicing in as similar an environment to actual conditions as possible, no matter what the task may be.
On the flip, is there any possibility that the Giants are practicing outside or is Mr. Ridgid TC having them in the Timex Performance Center because “the approach doesn’t change much at all” as he says.
maybe the Center has a retractable roof?

The lady took her skirt off last week
two tough catches with D all over him, and suprisingly some decent work blocking.
I think Eli will look at the tape and see the play he missed with Becks running wide open and maybe store that away for a just incase we call that again type of situation.
I don’t think he’s a huge threat and probably not even a Giant next year but he might just contribute this week.
You down wit JPP?

I did not see why but I think most Ds are ignoring him. Maybe we can use that but I am not confident in his hands nor his YAC. C’mon, surprise me.

just found this on sports illustrated.. nice break down of Cruz’s game the other day and how the Cowboys had no answer for him.
http://nfl.si.com/2012/01/02/break-it-down-victor-cruz-goes-off/?sct=nfl_wr_a1
what i find interesting though is that Nicks isnt really talked about here. sure he has had his share of drops lately, but the guy is a stud. Dallas had their best CB on Nicks all night and in these picture seemed to be cheating his way a little.
sure Cruz is a stud in his own right, but what this seems to show is that teams are going with a pick your poison approach to covering our WR’s. say Dallas adjusted and rolled coverage to Cruz, seems they feel that Hakeem is still the bigger threat.
add to that, that our running game has been effective recently, i dont think teams know just how to stop us
Nice read
They say it up front. Giants have too many threats to double, offer direct over the top help to everyone. Eli looks for Cruz on jump balls, cause he’s so good at it.
And after Cruz carved them up, and Dallas gave in and focused on him, Nicks made two big plays for the closing TD ( no coincidence)

Moral Dilemma
I’ve always thought of Nicks as out #1 receiver since his emergence into the league. However, as of late I find myself jumping on the Cruz bandwagon. Just wanted to know if I am wrong for doing that? I still think Nicks is better but can’t help watching in awe at some of the plays Cruz makes.
On a side note, i know many of you feel like your about to have a heart attack when watching Nicks palm the ball. However, I met him a few weeks ago at a company event. When I shook his hands they were so big that his fingers went halfway up my sleeve. (I almost felt violated) Nick’s palming a football is like the equivalent of a normal person palming a tennis ball.
its ok, their both Giants
cheer for both of them. And yes I hate the one hand carries by Nicks, but his hands are hugggge. Just don’t want it to bit him in the ass if he fumbles.

2 different styles. Nicks is the protoypical #1 WR and a lot of what Nicks does and can do makes Cruz better
but a lot of what Cruz does makes Nicks better. Perfect complements to each other IMO.
Damn, I'm really considering blowing a few bills
on some tickets for this game. Too bad StubHub is around to enable the ensuing ass rape prices
lol, well if you find extras, hook a brotha up
I haven’t gone to the new stadium yet, so I figure I’ve been saving up and can justify it. $200 for nosebleeds is rough, but I don’t think I can justify 4-500 to get down to good seats.
246B
Just noticed stub hub has 2 tickets for 246B (corner suite) for $302.00. If its anything like 230B (verizon corner suite) that is a huge steal. I may pick those up if I can’t get any from work.
the corners and endzones are OK at the new stadium?
I just don’t want to be somewhere where I’m just watching on the big screens
Here's a odd thing I was thinking about
even if the Giants beat the redskins (2), eagles and seahawks, making them 13-3… they would STILL be in the same spot they are now… the 4 seed playing the Falcons.
Only difference would be the NFC East would of been won weeks ago.

Atlanta played soft schedule
And didnt really beat tough teams, except for Detroit by 2 pts. If our receivers are healthy and if our OLine plays like they did Sunday nite, we should be ok. Main concern is stopping Turner. Think return of Herz could help there.
DavebrownNOT
The knock on that win is that Buffalo was without their best defensive player.
I don’t know the guys name but he is a DT.
I would still say that before the Jets game that the Giants were a mediocre team who could hang with SF and GB because of our QB. The Saints blew us out and we played down to opponents like SEA and WAS.
Since the Jets game, Tuck has come back healthy, Osi is back, and Fool adjusted his defense so we are no longer seeing our DB’s and LB’s lost in space.
Also, the Oline is playing better, but you can chalk some of the improvement to not playing a top Dline in the past two weeks.
The way I see it, some things have come together at the right time, but I still worry about the defense if we don’t get insane pressure on an opposing teams QB.

Agreed...We need to bring the heat...If they change the scheme used in the last two games..
They deserve to be hung…
