Post game chat with Cleft Crusty (Giants)

[Cleft Crusty]

Hi Folks,

Time to fire away. 'Ole clefty will give you the inside scoop on the game with insights that will fill a much needed void.

Hi Cleft,

Any early reports on how many people have been injured trying to jump back on the Favre bandwagon?

[Scott Campbell]

Hello Cliff, errrrrr.....Cleft. Do you wear a helmet when you ride your motorcycle?

And who do you think will get the most touches next week at RB?

Cleft,

What did you think of MM's play calling today?

[Brandon494]

Cleft,

How did A.J. Hawk look today, it seems he has been off to a slow start this season.

Cleft,

What does Nick Barnett take to get him so pumped up?

Hi Cleft,

Unsure. However, I did notice on these boards that there was a thread a while ago about which player was most indispensible. How people couldn't recognize that that player is Favre is beyond me. He's really the only great player on that offense, and he's a 38 (almost) year old guy.

I never wear a helmet. There's really nothing that I care to protect. I would ahve to think Wynn would get the most (effective) carries - since he can pass protect, he'll be in on passing downs and then can run the draws and screens. McCarthy seems determined to run left on every first down and gain zero yards behind a whiffing Colledge, so Brandon Jackson will likely get all those carries.

Cleft,

I never question play calling. After all, what the hell do I, you, or any other fan know about the game planning. Were you in the prep room watching the giant's tendencies or looking at all the power point breakdowns of all the reams of stats accumulated over the past months by the front office. How could you know that running left on first down was a bad idea? Stick to what you know best and stop questioning the experts. It helps if you keep your eyes shut.

Cleft,

He was a little out of position in coverage, and was somewhat ineffective rushing the passer. I didn't see him do much in the run stopping department. Note that the Packers are asking Barnett to do more at this point. Still, the Packers D gave up one touchdown, and two FGs against an offense that seems pretty decent, so he must be doing something right. His hair looks terriffic too.

Cleft,

Maybe it's some of that Romanowski 'Souper Soup?' All I know is that I wouldn't care to meet up with him in a dark alley or a nightclub, for example.

Good afternoon, Cleft!

Another exciting win by your favorite team and mine---the Green Bay Packers!

The Giants were c**k-punched by a devastating turnover on special teams at a crucial time late in the game, just like the Iggles experienced twice last week.

My question is---do you think this success will start to go the heads of our special teams guys---e.g. Jarret Bush, Tracy White, etc.? Are we gonna see a bunch of holdouts for more money, like with Javon Walker?

Who would you take at QB? You, or an injured Jared Lorenzen?

Sorry the Packers are not my 'favorite' team. I have no favorite as I am a dispassionate objective reporter who hates my job having to explain trivial facts of football to know-nothings.

If Jarret Bush holds out, he'll be gone in a New York minute, if you'll pardon the pun.

Lorenzen is known as the 'Pillsbury Throwboy.' He's big, soft, immobile, and quite likely obese. I on the other hand can bench [press 275 pounds, and unlike my wuss of a son-in-law, I can handle full court basket ball (until 60 years of age, ona bad hip) and some really nasty spicy food. I wouldn't enjoy being sacked by Corey Williams, however.
