Initial Thoughts on Giants Game
- Thread starter CoolieMan
- Start date
Not sure if that was the game plan for him? The previous game he stayed home a lot more and was good in the run game.
I saw Patrick Queen jogging around a few times. I will have to rewatch.
Yep definitely weren’t gap sound in this one.
So I dont know about all of you, but I am extremely bullish on our chances this season now...
This was the exact type of game we would have lost in previous years. We didnt. We arent overly reliant on any one thing this season... the O suddenlly has a passing game... the Run game looks good. The D is chalk full of playmakers... scheme out TJ, Minkah and heyward and you get big plays from Dj, Highsmith, Bishop, elliot, or Herbig ...
The D has been one of the top 3 scoring D's all year... it isnt overly dependent on pressure or takeaways... but it does have a lot of timely ones..
The Special teams has been thoroughly impressive as a whole...
Watching teams this year, i don't think there are any significantly better than the Steelers... and I think that as injured guys get back and the line gels more, there is room for improvement yet

I would like to see them blitz a little more often. It might pull the second guy off Watt or the Blitzer comes on a free run to the QB.
Highsmith knew what was up , better than the yum yums supposed to be blocking.
i miss the x stunt and or a mlb coming up the middle..

My biggest thought was it's good news, bad news. Good news they're 6-2 and the offense is trending up. Bad news, they may think they don't need to add a WR.
I don't want them going crazy, but there has to be a decent WR they can get for a 3rd rounder.
Russ looked better than last week. His timing with the WRs is better. It will help the WRs to play with a veteran QB that can give them direction.
Mission accomplished for the first half. With their brutal second half schedule they had to be 6-2 in the first half.
It's hard to expect more than 4-4 in the last 8. The browns are much better with Chubb back and Jameis at QB. Bengals are dangerous. Ravens games will be tough. Wash no longer looks like a gimmie. Eagles are getting better each week. Chiefs on Christmas will be a battle on a Wednesday after playing the Ravens.
The good news is they will get Frazier back at C. Sutton to play nickel. Maybe a new WR.

Looking at next year, if they don't keep Fields, just saying, Daniel Jones is a great fit for Arthur Smith's offense. He's a great athlete, can throw on the move. Similar to Ryan Tannehill who was great in Smith's offense.
Tonight's game was a perfect example of Jones career. He's talented. He does make plays but he also makes a number of bad plays per game. I have no idea why the Giants don't have RPO in their offense. I think Jones could be good in Smith's simple system.

To me Watt is the greatest defender post dynasty. They should have won by 17 plus. Last piece on offense is inside the 10. They have Minkah playing out of distance where he can make a play.

They scored 2 more TD’s, they just didn’t count.
The D is a clusterfuk against the run. That 2 man DL bullshyte needs to go. Only played well in the 3rd qtr.
I am really starting to worry he might be a bad pick for a #1 pick. Looking as if the really need to consider extending Dan Moore, until Jones gets hus shyte together @ LT
O looked light years better, D looked crappy as usual
Better 1 quarter, without Watt and Highsmith, they would have lost the 3rd game for them
I have felt ir was only a matter of time. The way the game was going, I fully expected a flag on that return
Confidence breeds confidence
Credit the better QB play for their improvement
Overall, a really good game, that boneheaded run parallel to the line not withstanding
The man just makes plays when they are needed
Thank the porous D for that
I don't know whether to complain or understand better "why" we're not rotating DLs to help stop the run. Our base defense, all night, was nickel 2-4-5.
Once the Giants figured out how to neutralize Cam---boom--- that RB got real dangerous. In passing situations, we still gave their WRs too much space. JPJ is still a work in progress... and I didn't see much of our SS most of the night...
Queen had one shot at it last night...I think we can raise the blitz bar as well...
I believe that’s 25s and ILBs responsibility in the defense they’re calling alot.
Regardless.. they play 39 in single high way too much… your single high safety is like the kid they threw into games in right field to get his two innings in little league..
39 is better than that..
Queen had another meh game. Nice stop on back in flat but a whole lot of nothing else. Roberts in his limited snaps had two tfl. I just find Queen to be so so.
So Coolie. At the moment CA3 leads Tank Dell statistically. Thoughts?

Which raises the question in my mind why they were on the sidelines on the play Bishop got the INT. When you know they had to pass, why were our key rushers not in the game? Resting?
It's a win but I was hoping for more. At least we have a big play threat now. Didn't like the big runs the D gave up. Didn't like the big pass plays the secondary gave up. I mean it was the Giants not the Chiefs.
They need to take the bye week and address some of what went on last night defensively.

I also have more concerns about the D than the O right now.
Giving up too many big plays, both running and passing.
I’d feel better if the Gmen were known to be great at running the ball. Maybe they are?
Someone here said that Najee was a bum. Who was that?

My thoughts from another post on Jones: WTF happened with Jones? Good rookie season playing a new position but comes back this year and looks worse. I hate he has to practice both OT positions but he is awful right now. Too many penalties, pressures, and sacks allowed. I hope he gets back to LT next year and can get back to form at his natural position. The Steelers have screwed up so many OL by playing them out of position and they leave and play much better at their natural position. Enough with the need to play multiple positions. Master one instead of being just average (or worse) at multiple positions.
C’mon man! Don’t give Lloyd any ideas!
The only reason he hadn’t shown up yet is because he’s struggling to pin something on Tomlin. Lol

And the screens killed the D. Gotta stress that now that NY put that on tape.

Is there lingering arm injury issue??
Russell Wilson is averaging 9.5 yards per pass attempt.
Last year, Pickett averaged 10.3 yards ... per COMPLETION.
