Official Giants Week Gabfest

[gbgary]

the answer for obj has been laid out for the league in the last several games. play him tight, play him physical, and he ends up doing more harm than good for his team.
so...expect him to go off on the Packers because we don't play that style of pass d. we let the opposition run free. are the Packers dbs incapable of playing this way or is it on the coaching staff or both. either way if things don't change back there expect more of the same. making players of the week out of guys you've never heard of.
the giants don't have a threatening running game so the Packers need to sell-out on pass d.

If the Giants team that showed up last night in MN shows up in GB on Sun night, we should kick the snot out of them. Giants were disorganized on both sides of the ball.

Agreed. Especially considering we're coming off a bye week and the Giants played Monday night. ...On the other hand, Manning was subjected to a hellacious pass rush while Bradford not so much. Manning was throwing the ball into the dirt after 1 second. If we give Manning time to throw we could be in for a long night.

So is Pennel and the other CB back?

I don't think they'll be back until next week.

I believe our lack of aggression by our DBs is both coaching and the type of players we have. Of course it does seem like if we sneeze on a WR we get flagged for holding or PI...

We do possess a decent pass rush especially with Clay, D. Jones and Guion returning. It is our back end and our tendency to leave the middle of the field wide open is what kills us...

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The Packers' first team D should go against the Packers' first team O in practice.

McAdoo pretty much runs McCarthy's offense. Watching the game last night, I could tell what the Gay Men of NY were gonna run before they ran it.

So, for the scheme-niks here, what exactly is it that Packers are doing, or not doing in the secondary that is allowing the big plays? Is it schematic? Is it play calling? Is it blown coverage? Frustrating to think back to the MN game, and the front seven did their job, but the back end had no answers, and was consistently getting torched.

Do you place that at Capers feet, are the players blowing coverages?

The Giants went on the road for a Monday night game. Now they are on the road in a short week against a team coming off a bye. This is unsporting. The NFL has lost its mind.

If I were a Gman fan I wouldn't worry about this week. They are going to play one of the worst pass defenses in the league Sunday night.

However, the Packers do have a strong history of success coming off a bye week...the defense typically looks much better when they have an extra week to prepare.

Pugger, I will be at the game. It will be a victory.

I was just thinking about this earlier today. The NFL should make sure that the road team on Monday night gets to play at home the next week.

Someone notify Pugger that Wist may have hacked into her account.

I think they try to do what you suggest often...but putting together a schedule is very difficult, and especially so for the Giants and Jets. (who share a stadium)
