More Banjo: @ Giants Aftermath

[Patler]

Capers explanation of this play:

On Hakeem Nicks' 35-yard reception, both Tramon Williams and Morgan Burnett were in the vicinity but Nicks broke free. Nicks and Victor Cruz switched lanes on their routes, Capers said, and the two Packers defenders both went to cover Cruz underneath. The coach said the players are instructed to communicate who has who before the snap. Standing next to each other, that didn't happen here.

"That’s one thing about this game," Capers said, "you emphasize it day in and day out and you get out there in the heat of the battle and we’ve got not only verbal communication but hand signals."

He had Burnett blanketed on this play.

the more i look at and think about the picture, the more baffled i am

you have one giant streaking down the numbers, the other one is cutting in hard towards the numbers.

BOTH our guys are covering the sideline. neither of our guys is anywhere close to being in a position to cover either of the two giants

this picture sums up our season. it is the ultimate description of our defense this year

this picture is worth a thousand words

TT and M3 could just print out this picture, hand it to capers, and without any words being said, capers should just go clear out his shit and leave the building

[Freak Out]

Now that is ugly. Square dancing DBs.....how in the hell do we end up with this shit?

I was hoping that picture was a photoshop job to make Capers look like an idiot. Guess it ain't. Wish I was better at PS. I would add another Packer or two with their head up their butt.

Yes, but Matthews did the same thing twice. Its not that hard to read if you know what to look for. Catching it is impressive.

But as this game demonstrated, its happened before. There has to be a check on it part of the play. Or the QB has to know to just heave it OOB.

Matthews might have caught one if he was sans cast. He's done it before for a pick 6 (was it against Eli in 2011 regular season?).

Capers explanation of this play:

Clickable headline: Capers throws secondary under the bus.

Probable actual intent: call those guys out for a real mistake in hopes they don't make it again.

Capers explanation of this play:

The Williams/Burnett Country Boogie. The latest dance craze.

See, that is on the players and then their position coach. Its also a sign of a lack of depth.

If you cannot do that after playing together for 4 bleeping years, you should not be starting. Its as bad as a fumble for the defense.

Two of the NFL players in that photo are in immediate need of an eye correction intervention.

Challenge:

Can you identify which two?

Hint:

They aren't involved in the play.

They aren't on the New York Giants roster.

And here was Randle's long catch on Hyde: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...#ixzz2l6YZO3Me

One was Rueben Randle's 26-yard touchdown catch in which nickel back Micah Hyde covered the right guy but played a zone technique instead of a man technique and got turned in the wrong direction.

I would like to point out to Spoon that this is not a problem with a switch route but a problem with knowing the play call. Unless a switch route changes the call. Either way, he HAS to know this before hand.

Here is the change that Shields being unavailable produced:

Capers also acknowledged that his plan was to play Shields and Davon House outside with Williams inside in the nickel on first and second downs, then use rookie Micah Hyde inside in the nickel on third downs with Williams moving back outside. Without Shields, who was inactive with a hamstring injury that he suffered Thursday and caused him to miss practice Friday, Williams played outside all game, Hyde was the nickel and special teams ace Jarrett Bush was pressed into service in the dime.

Essentially, it put Hyde on Cobb a lot.

Is that on Burnett or Tramon? Generally the Safety (and Burnett in particular) is more of the QB there, but Tramon should be veteran enough to know when he doesn't have the information.

Of course, another problem was that Tramon was shifted to a different duty late in the week.

This brings up another question I've been mulling over: why is Tramon the only one who gets his hands on the ball? Is he freelancing at the expense of the D as a whole? Or just better at knowing when and where he can try to make a play? I don't really know, but at this point I don't see them cutting him next year, because he's one of the guys in the secondary that seems to be able to make impact plays.

I would suspect like a basketball coach you have rules for dealing with a pick/switch by receivers.

In this case, I would expect the coaches to want the better deep defender on Hicks and a better cover person on Cruz. If TWill wasn't in on those discussions, that would explain the confusion.

Doesn't explain why two vets don't declare at the LOS.
