'Friday Five' With Pat Traina: Super Bowl Edition
by Ed Valentine on Feb 3, 2012 7:00 AM EST
in Friday Five
Email
PrintIt is a very special Friday, being that it is the Friday before the New York Giants make the fifth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. Taking our cue from quarterback Eli Manning we are trying to keep things as normal as possible, which means we begin this Super Bowl Friday with our regular 'Friday Five' with Inside Football editor Pat Traina.
So, let's get right down to business.
Ed: You asked me about Rob Gronkowski, and since his health is the big story I have to ask you the same basic question. How does his health (we know he's playing) affect the way the Giants play defense, and the possible outcome of the game?
Pat: Well, there's talk that he's going to be fitted for a special cleat, and while I'm no doctor, I can't quite visualize how a cleat would help alleviate a high ankle sprain. I would think a high ankle sprain is going to affect him in several way, including his ability to push off that ankle and his ability to cut. I won't say he becomes a non-factor, but I would think that maybe now you can afford to play a slower defender 9or even a hobbled Jacquian Williams) against Gronk.
Ed: The Patriots have seemed to try to snatch the whole 'underdog' thing away from the Giants this week. Are you buying what they are selling -- which is that the Giants are actually the more talented team?
Pat: I never buy what the Patriots are selling because they're the masters of deception and mind games. I think what the Patriots are doing is the same tactic the Giants are trying to do and that is to respect the opponent, but fear no one. It's just not Belichick's style to trash talk - never has been.
Ed: Almost everything has, of course, been talked about too much. Is there one matchup, or factor, in Sunday's game that you believe hasn't really gotten enough attention?
Pat: I would say the Patriots running game vs. the Giants run defense. Now I know that you're probably saying to yourself that this is going to be a pass heavy game, and I would say you're not incorrect if you think that. However, if you go back to the last game these two played, when the Giants' defense was doing this thing on Brady, I remember BenJarvus Green-Ellis having some success running the ball later in the game.
Ed: You've been in Indianapolis all week. It isn't New Orleans, but it's Super Bowl week and has to be a madhouse. What is the weirdest thing you have seen all week?
Pat: You know what? This is my fourth Super Bowl (third covering the Giants) and I have to say it's been pretty tame. Even Media Day, when the, um "creative" [people come out to play, I can honestly say I only saw one guy in costume. I didn't think I was going to like this setup but it's been quite convenient. There are walkways connecting the hotel to the media center and the media center to the Giants team hotel, and the people have been really friendly out here. The NFL generally does a nice job with handling the logistics and making sure that when you ask someone for assistance, they give you directions instead of "I don't know." And the weather has been fabulous - it's been more like spring than winter.
Ed: Your prediction, please?
Pat: I like the Giants in this one for several reasons, I think Eli and company have the potential to light up the Patriots secondary and I don't think Gronk is going to be as effective as the Patriots would have us believe.

It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST

Gronk can play barefoot
with all the juice they are going to pump into that ankle, not to mention him. He won’t need a special cleat at all.
Have had serious ankle injuries
They’ll numb it, and a cleat and wraps will gives it external stability
BUT, each thing robs you of something. He’ll lose explosiveness, that’s OK for some positions, but pass catchers need that stick and cut move. So the stuff he usually does to get the separation that makes him so dangerous, it will be reduced. If he needs massive external stability, his cuts will get round instead of square and crisp.
Of course the Pats may have access to some kind of gene therapy banned in this country.
Eli is our King!
I can't get the image of his ankle
being crushed, just two weeks ago mind you, out of my head every time this is brought up. To speculate, I’ll just say I think he will be better in the first half when the painkillers are at their best and his adrenaline is at it’s highest.
Unless the pats are smart and are able to administer the pain meds so that Gronk feels no pain in the second half.

It was a disturbing view...But no where's near
as bad as watching Theismann’s leg get broke in half from an LT hit…and they re-played it over and over…to the point you had to get up and walk away from the TV….It also became the reason they no longer show that stuff anymore..they go right to commercial break..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
And Theismann's injury is not nearly as disturbing

And the problem with numbing is that you cannot feel making the injury worse
He could put himself out of the game by not feeling injurious movements.
I had it happen running a marathon. Too many numbing meds, tore muscle even worse.
'Course I am a superior athlete to Gronk
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.
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's why they are already planning the surgery
Theyve got no choice, without him, they lose a ton of what has made their offense elite. It’s not like losing him dooms them,but that 2 TE set goes from nightmare to troubling.
Eli is our King!
If in fact they are already planning surgery..then they are placing him at great risk..
And like Pat mentioned, I don’t know how a ‘special cleat’ could possibly help..In fact I don’t even know what a special cleat is…

IM SICK OF ALL THESE MEDIA GEEKS
All of em talking about how Giants players are talking too much! When did they become the Jets “gauranteeing wins”. When we were on our losing streak playing the toughest schedule which every1 thought would doom us out the playoffs again and get TC fired yet we said we’re a good team and we can play better while those nemrods were sticking forks in us digging our graves they did t give a crap. Now that guys have to spend a whole week and all down time to answer the same dumb questions over and over again, when we express confidence it’s “over confidence and we’re talking too much”.

First, again I want to commend Ed for his Radio appearances this week...
He has done a superb job…I think the next one is 8:30pm tonight…He really has put BBV in a positive spotlight..So kudos for that, Ed..your Brown Earth Shoes must be proud…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Are you trying to be able to call in to the show? haha
i heard parts of the very first one and i liked it.
This is not the 2007 team.

Haha..if there's a call-in Q&A during his appearance..you can count on it!!!haha

Two things
First, I am thankful that the dude in the gimp mask and tighty whiteys is gone from the sides…I feel less pervy logging into BBV while at work and I don’t have to constantly minimize the screen in fear
Secondly, IS IT SUNDAY YET?!?! These two weeks have dragged and I have been itching to hit something because of it!!! I feel like Eli is going to disassemble the Pats secondary and our D-line is going to feed Brady a healthy dose of turf! Giants 38, Patriots 21!!!

Seems that dude in undies is gone now. There also is a whole fanpost complaining about it and it is funny.
Yeah we should win this game.
This is not the 2007 team.

I still haven't settled on
the “what worries me most,” question. Everything worries me, yet I am confident in our ability to get a win.
Not the defense, though I don’t want Wilfork-you to pancake Eli and squash him. I guess it’s Brady, but there is not one receiver that puts fear in my heart. I respect Hernandez, Welker, Branch, but if I were looking at Nicks and Cruz and to a lesser degree Ham I would be worried as hell. If I were looking at Tuck, Osi, JPP and co I would be worried as hell.
BB is going to have to have the schemes of all schemes, great in game adjustments, and ultimate execution from the players to win this game cause when I look at the horses, the Pats just fall short.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
There is no doubt that Belechik's strategies are going to be superior to what Fewel will do but we should be alright and our offense(and STs) will have to carry the team this time.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Me too!!!..What a weird thing that was...I hope it is gone forever....

Pats running game
I can’t say I’m scared of it, but they are effective. The law firm is decent & even AH is good out of the backfield, although they don’t break off big runs. I can see them gaining some yards with the Giants focusing on getting to Brady & trying to cover Gronk/AH/Welker. Still, I’d rather them get the short gains in the running game than Brady gaining confidence with the short passing game. Plus, the short passes is where they can break off the big gain after the catch.
I would think that the pats
“will get theirs” on offense because they are so good, but then I think back to SB 42 so who knows?
I will tell you this, if Gronk was healthy I would be ALOT more worried about the Pats O because our Safetys are not great in coverage. Just look what Davis did in SF when we had a Safety on him.
The truth. The REAL voice of reason
Agreed
although I think AH is more like a Davis with their speed & athleticism, so we should still be worried about that. SF doesn’t have a lot of weapons on the outside either & Davis still got free. I think KP needs to have a HUGE game.
Rolle was on Davis, Right?
I had assumed he’d be the most likely to be on Hernandez too. Am I wrong in thinking that?
I think they try to show Hernandez different looks
At times, you could see CWEB on him
Sort of counter their looks, with their own shifting looks, so they aren’t sure how to attack it
Eli is our King!
A big key will be
how well Gronk can move. If he wasn’t injured it’s likely the Giants would have doubled him alot, if not exclusively. If they can put just one man on him that is going to help us in coverage tremendously.
then they can double Welker and or Hernandez as much as possible though I’m sure the Pats will find ways to isolate these guys from time to time with a single match up that they like.

All down to the trenches
If both teams play TO free ball and the refs don’t do anything stupid it will come down to the lines.
As good as the Pat OL is I like the Giants DL for one simple reason – they can throw 8 really talented people at the OL and wear them down.
The other way it goes Pats UNLESS the Giants OL plays their absolute best game. Possible, but…..I dunno. Giant are better at pass blocking so maybe they give Eli enough time to light up that Pats secondary.
It will be close but I see the Giants D causing a TO or two that makes the difference.
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
I think the Giants better have a good plan for Welker
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Hey
I was just posting that thought when your’s popped up. Great minds think alike. He wasn’t 100% last time and with Gronk injured he will get a ton of looks. Especially since his short crossing stuff is exactly how to beat the Giant D for much if this year.
As for the underwear guy, I thought it was a reflection off my new computer screenn till I noticed there were no stains on his shorts.
Go Giants!
Yeah Welker is a pest...Call the exterminators...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Hero of the game!
Going to be Osi. He knows it’s probably has last game as a Giants, showcasing his talent for his last big contract. Osi gets two sacks and a strip fumble.
I always knew he was my hero...

It's Gonna Come Down to Money
I’m sure everyone wants him, but Osi made it clear he wants a top tier paycheck. If can’t afford it, they can’t afford it :(
I’d love to say that Osi wants to stay with JPP and Tuck enough to come down on his demands, but after this off season, I don’t see that happening…
yeah this year they had to show him who's boss
but since he performed well, I could see the Giants being willing to restructure his contract (within reason) so he can close out his career here in another 5 years or so
You PLAY to WIN the GAME.

Osi has been our best DE in the playoffs this year.

JPP is still getting doubled on every play
Sometimes tripled, that’s how I decide who’s best. Osi gets doubled a lot, but it’s clear, the NFL isn’t down with JPP, they fear the Hatian Sensation.
(I also think that a DL is more like a hand than separate fingers, talking about whose best, ignores all the synergies of playing together)
Eli is our King!
The three of them do a great job of taking on blocks to free each other up for a hit on the QB..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I don't think so
then again, all of the big 3 have been playing excellent. Osi’s made the big plays as usual but Tuck’s resurgence has basically been the primary reason the defense has played so well. And JPP’s basically been his normal self.
3 elite DEs playing at an elite level. Not to mention Tollefson’s been playing real well and Kiwi when he’s been playing down has been real good.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I expcet Brady will be trying to make some quick throws to negate our pass rush
Our D-line needs to have their hands up. Hopefully some tipped balls lead to some INTs!!!

Has anyone felt that the National and even NYC media
are rooting against the Giants. I mean not with the predictions but they seem to be fishing for any angle as why the Giants will lose or every intangable is on the Pats side. Mad Dog Russo is hell bent on making the Pats the sentimental favorite, which is pretty much impossible to do considering BBs and TBs success and personalities. I mean if someone said the Pats will go no huddle to neutralize the Giants pass rush and get BRady into a rythm early to score points and put pressure on the Giants O, which despite their success is very streaky and usually takes 15-20 minuets to do anything, and force Eli and KG to go pass on everydown and into a mistake, then I’d buy that as legit anylysis as to why the Pats will win. But nobodys saying that is all the Giants are too confident and its Brady/Bellicheck so the Pats will win. What? I mean those guys won 3 SBs in 4 yearsbecasue they had great well rounded teams not becasue Brady and Bellicheck are mystical figures. I don’t get it Canty makes Rah Rah comments to the fans he’s cocky, Brady does the same thing and its no big deal, the NY tabloits are just making too big a deal about it. JPP goes off on how great of player Brady is how the only way to stop his is to pressure him, media just reports JPP saying Brady felt the pressure and he’s not god. Victor Cruz got asked 1000 times about a WR covering him and he said its a matchup he likes. Manningham clarifies his comment about Edelmen earlier in week saying all he meant was DB is not his natural position, which is a fair statement, but nobody runs with that comment. I can’t take it. I never knew how hated the Giants were even in there own city. Its like irrational Yankee hate. I don’t get it.
you are correct sir
I have been saying the same thing all week

That's Every Story Anywhere
Rational doesn’t sell stories, unfortunately.
Yes we have discussed this all week and i dont like the smell of the things but TC has the team disciplined enough right now to show up and play an excellent game and win.
These media days are too many and too long. Players should have practiced this week instead of NFL wanting them to put on tv shows.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
Media are often very lazy
They see their job as getting people to listen and generating interest. I don’t thnk astute analysis is always an important job to them.

TC was asked about some of the overconfidence of the GIants this week in his pressor and he said “I don’t if what they said was any different than what Tom Brady said” Well said coach use this crap as motivation come Sunday. Giants better be pissed
Amen It's a shame we can't have more matchup articles instead of
These Stories. Not BBV thats why I just stay here
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
I'm sorry but
I feel the Giants are the real favorites in this game.
You PLAY to WIN the GAME.
Dear Tebow, please let the Giants beat the Patriots.
They're my favorite...
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
