New York Giants News And Notes: Super Tuesday Edition

Good morning, New York Giants fans! It's a Super Tuesday as the Giants continue preparations to face the New England Patriots in the 2012 Super Bowl. Let's look around the Inter-Google and see what is going on.

Giants trip to Indy was business class | New York Daily News
"I wish we could have flown in at night with nobody knowing we were here, instead of having everybody cheer you on," Tuck said. "What for? Nobody wants to talk about (partying) before the Super Bowl. Everybody wants to talk about after it. If you leave this place being the winner of the 46th Super Bowl, then you can have as many parties, you can have as many pep rallies, you can do whatever you want to do after that. "Until that happens, I could care less for all the hoopla."

NFL.com news: Patriots' Ochocinco finally hits big stage, but as bit player
Chad Ochocinco was the last player off the Patriots' plane when the team arrived Sunday in preparation for Super Bowl XLVI. The wide receiver was alone, well behind everyone else -- a snapshot of his pecking order on a team he's surprisingly failed to enhance.

The busted trial of Ochocinco in New England has resulted in almost everything Chad -- the Ochocinco, the Brand, the Endorser, the Dancer With The Stars, the Football Career -- suffering.

"He was someone who was perceived as a great player who went to a good team with more visibility and became lesser in every category," said Marc Ganis, owner of Sportscorp, a consulting firm that helps gauge economic impact and viability of sports businesses. "He went from being one of the most visible players to relatively invisible.

Star-divide

Tom Brady, Eli Manning and Co. have one priority during buildup for Super Bowl XLVI - Jeff Diamond - SI.com
As soon as the Patriots and Giants left their locker rooms last Sunday with the conference championship trophies in hand, the madness of the Super Bowl was upon them. And so began the challenge for team execs and the head coaches to remind their players, coaches and staff of what's ahead.

Can Super Bowl XLVI live up to greatest Super Bowls of all-time? - Richard Rothschild - SI.com
Like an underachieving student who needs time to register academic success, the Super Bowl took a few decades before establishing itself as a sporting event that was as much about achievement as it was hype.

Peyton upstaging Brady-Eli Super Bowl rematch - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Peyton Manning is about to hijack the buildup to the Ultimate Game, thanks to the impending divorce between the icon and the franchise that happens to be hosting the spectacle.

Don’t even try to fight it: Even if Manning and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay stop sniping at one other publicly for the next seven days, there’s too much conspicuous chest-puffing, too much intrigue and too many media folk in need of stories to avoid the inevitable.

Peyton was a bully to poor, lil Eli
"He’d pin me down and take his knuckles and knock on my chest and make me name the [10] schools in the SEC," Eli said. "I was 6 or 7 at the time, and I didn’t know them, so I quickly learned them.

‘It was a great learning technique, but I don’t suggest anyone [duplicate] that or try that out."

2012 Super Bowl, Giants Vs. Patriots: 2011 An 'Eye-Opening Experience' For Justin Tuck - SB Nation New York
"I want to be the leader this football team can always look to. I thought I had to do that only by what I do on the football field. Only sacks and tackles, things like that," Tuck said. "This has been an eye-opening experience for me knowing that leadership doesn’t necessarily have to do with how you play on the field, it has to do with what goes on behind closed doors and how you can motivate guys in other situations."

Haha...

It’s a super duper week, was just thinking about Herzlich, wonder how he felt walking off the team plane yesterday for the Super Bowl when roughly 2 years ago he was told he may never walk again. That’s a walk I’d take in and never forget.

This stuffed bear was apparently in the 2007 Giants locker room and Brewer had the job of carrying it to Indianapolis.

On an unrelated front…he is doing the “shocker” incorrectly.

Does anyone miss Shockey?

I wish he was still in TE position, we would be beast on all fronts. Even though he was the arrogant and pissy kind, he played well for the G-men and is one of my fave players

by SlavaImsh on Jan 31, 2012 8:26 AM EST reply actions  

no thanks...

It seems the group we have right now are very unselfish and challenge each other, I don’t see Cruz or Nicks getting in Eli’s ear because they thought they were open. Shockey was a good player just don’t think this young group that seems to be gelling together needs a Shockey type voice in the locker room.

He was cancer, sorry I liked him too, but...

He never would put the extra work in with Eli, and it showed. He was more about himself than the team, and that made him a square peg in a round hole.

by costanza! on Jan 31, 2012 9:51 AM EST up reply actions  

Agreed and he is a good analyst as well

but today’s football requires a TE that can block and also catch over the middle. Eli would thrive with a TE that could consistently get open and catch the ball and just think what that would do for the WR’s on the sideline routes.

I could imagine how good the offense would be if they had a freak like that at TE tho

but Shockey hindered the O more then he helped. Its a lot like the situation with the Jest, there’s too many loudmouths and whiners in the huddle. Its a big reason why Eli’s gotten so much better without Plaxico and Shockey here, despite the fact those guys were so good.

Quite a few feel good stories about Giants players.

It's funny how he doesn't comment on the stats

Like how Eli threw the ball 30 more times in a heavy wind and rain game, and made some big plays

Maybe if 49ers weren’t dependent on return yards to set up scores, they would have told their guy to take no chances. The game is the game, their QB didn’t even try to make a tough throw. They think it all stacks up the same in a dome or at our stadium etc. so many games in our history decided by quirky plays. The longer you watch the better you understand. The better team is the one that takes care of the football, and cashes in when the other team doesnt. The better QB is the guy who you can let make the big throws.

All you need to know about that game. They took the ball out of Smiths hands, even though he made their only 2 big plays. Means their coach had no confidence.

With Gronk possibly hobbled, look out for Nate Solder releasing into routes in the red zone.

Apparently dude played some TE in college, and I’m sure you all know Belichick’s tendency to use Tackles as recievers in the red zone (Vrable). Just something to keep an eye out for.

with an emergency room doctor recently. He felt that many of today’s “yutes” did not heed their mother’s advice.

from the SBN article Ed linked:
3. Rob Gronkowski’s Ankle

Ah, the annual “Player who may not play but will definitely dominate headlines for 14 days.”

Here’s some #EXPERTANALYSIS of the situation: Rob Gronkowski’s gonna play. If he doesn’t play, the Patriots should be fine, since Aaron Hernandez is pretty awesome too. But yeah, it’s the Super Bowl, and if there’s one player on either team most likely to blindly inject himself with whatever horse tranquilizers Belichick gives him before the big game, it’s gotta be Gronk.

So, ankle boot or not, Gronkowski’s gonna play. Let’s move on.

You PLAY to WIN the GAME.

Yes, but he better not become a hero

scoring 2 TD’s and the drive saving catch that wins the game…..

I got a GIF for that!

Here's how to stop that

Bracket Gronkowski and Hernandez on the inside using a primarily mid-flood cover 1 zone or 2-deep, man-under scheme. This plays to our advantage for several reasons:

1.) Robots in Disguise. These base schemes allow for a plethora of variant looks to be incorporated into the gameplan without giving away the actual coverage call for that play. I.e. the scheme’s versatility (especially from a nickel or base 4-3 package) enables us to utilize multiple play calls from any given look. For example, we could run eight to nine blitzes, a dozen coverage variations, and several base coverage setups out of one alignment, not including shifts.

2.) The teeth of the defense. Pressure. Running from these aforementioned bases allows the Giants to do what they do best: rush the passer, ferociously.

Why?

The 2-deep, man-under and cover 1 force the offense to work outside outside and rely on primarily on our strength: man-coverage. This plays to our advantage because the Patriots run game is much more effective inside the tackles, and these schemes will stymie this, forcing them into a more one-dimensional look; we can kill two birds with one stone per se: the seam/short-middle check down passes and the run.

If we take away their number one option and the check down, our rush should hit home for a solid deal of coverage sacks, that is if the monsters we have up front do not arrive early. Especially if Webster guards the outside receiver, which could force Brady to look for his fourth option with the pressure bearing down.

3.) Eliminates comfort zone. Based on ticket sales, the Patriots are essentially the away team here. Couple the noise with the blitz packages, the Giants d-line, and a defense geared to force perimeter gambles, even the future Hall of Fame quarterback will have trouble making those already difficult sideline passes. Further, guarding inside challenges the quick passes and crossing-routes to Welker and Branch. Moreover, by mixing man (possibly press) and mid-zone coverage will force the Patriots out of their comfort zone which could create turnovers for the Giants.

The Giants now need to merely execute and remain fundamentally sound, watching out for pick plays, screens and out/out-and-up/comeback routes. If they generate pressure, the Patriots won’t have time to execute most of these, seeing as they’re slow-developing.

don't confuse our Def.

Keep it simple, they react better.

I agree with this thought, and can’t help but think the keys are no free releases, and I hate to say it but Aaron Ross. dude has to have a good game on their secondary WR (Branch on most occasions) CWeb should handcuff himself to Welker and the safeties along with Boley and JWill should handle the TE’s, especially with Gronk hobbled.

Jason Cole (Yahoo Sports) wrote another report on Peyton's injury...

There are some sources who don’t think he’ll make it back…Apparently his neck fusion surgery is healing nicely, but the nerves in his arm are not…Doctors say it takes a year to determine how much arm strength you can re-gain…and that takes a year…He’s at six months…So, it will be August before he’ll find out…
So, even though he’s positive and confident…Alot of folks are saying it doesn’t look good..

Thats the best thing that could happen to him

financially. His contract is insured and if he cant play because of an injury, he can collect the balance of his $ and move on to his second career in coaching or broadcasting – plus spend more time with his twins. Its better than coming back at some percentage of what he was and risking further injury. Also he would get the full value of his contract as opposed to having to renegotiate or worse, take a pay cut and go to another team.

I don't even wanna hear about Gronk's ankle anymore

and I don’t care how it looked

when I saw KP tweek his knee i thought he was gonna be Hixon 2.0 and his season was over….it wasn’t.

there is a reason why these guys are called “athletes”….the guy is gonna play and if he’s on the field they better treat him like he’s the real deal.

That Gronk would be a monster on two bad ankles...He doesn't even look human...

So yeah our team has to prepare for that animal…Defenders bounce off of him like rubber balls..Can’t tackle him high, you’ll wind up with a headache..They have to reference the How to Book on tackling Jacobs…

It is the only way to tackle him..So that won't bode well for his ankle...

It’s just the only way to get him down..nothing dirty..just the only choice to get him on the ground..

TE aint easy

Look at the Giants recent experience. Bavaro, great, but injured out of the league, Shockey, not bad, but often injured (missed XLII), Boss (Mr. Concussion), Ballard (more out than in, or at least at partial strength). It evens out a bit in that their opposing XLVI TE is not 100% either.
