More Banjo: @ Giants Aftermath

[denverYooper]

Football Outsiders Quick Reads has Tolzien above Manning as measured by DYAR.

17. Scott Tolzien GB 35 DYAR.

One of the better zero-touchdown, three-interception games you'll ever see. Tolzien completed 10 passes that gained at least 15 yards and averaged 10.6 yards per passing play, both second among starters this week, to Matt Stafford (11) and Russell Wilson (12.4), respectively. Stafford, by the way, had 16 more plays than Tolzien did.

25.
Eli Manning NYG -49 DYAR
After Brandon Jacobs' goal-line touchdown put the Giants up 20-6 late in the third quarter, Manning went into a deep freeze. From that point forward, over three drives, Manning went 2-of-3 for 21 yards with no first downs, plus three sacks.

DYAR is nice, but Manning didn't throw a pick-six and another pick after that to seal the game. For once.

Its got to be Burnett in the wrong place. As safety you would think he is starting deep. Two, the inside guy is wide open and deeper than Cruz.

But why Burnett is in an empty space is beyond me. Maybe he was trying to avoid Williams?

That was my hunch. Unless we had a coverage called that is foreign to me, I would say the S had the inside guy when they are that close to the sideline.

He's Getting Close!

MM says Sherrrod had excellent week. "Huge step" at Thurs. padded practice. Stops short of saying he's ready to play.

MM: Barclay was delcared out Friday afternoon. I can't tell you how close he is. Sherrod had excellent week of practice. Huge step.

I am on the cut marshmellow bandwagon. I haven't seen anyone whiff like him since Babre....before that I have to go with Gorman Thomas, but at least he jacked on now and again.

Capers said that they both followed the same player on a switch route from Cruz and Nicks. Failure of communication, either hand signal or verbal call.

So looks like Williams is trying to come off Cruz and get back to Nicks. But I haven't seen the start of the play on replay yet.
