The Official NY Giants Team Thread

According to the Daily News....Kevin Boothe would likely start at LG if Seubert is moved to center for the Dallas game.

However you shuffle the line...I feel pretty good about it. And Beatty should return in a couple weeks....we may have lost Koets for the year and Diehl for at least one week....but we still have enough bodies to get us through it.

 

Ohara could be back by the eagles game. I want to see more of Petrus. Right off the bat you know Dallas is going to overload that leftside of the line. Giants need to just keep running it off tackle. As long as Eli gets time to throw, the Giants will be fine. I'm sure Coughlin already knows this lol. Im sure we'll see see pascoe in there to help picking up the blitzes. That could hurt the Cowboys too if they decide to blitz, the Giants could spread it out and get that ball downfield.

Losing Smith for a few games doesn't really concern me as the Giants have people that can step up. What concerns me is the offensive line. That entire left side is out. I know they have a proven guy at LT like Andrews but boothe at LG doesn't make me totally sleep well at night. If I were teh Giants, give Petrus a shot.

Ohara is now saying he's out at least another 2 weeks and could be as long as 8 weeks. :ugh:

 

he celebrated this prestigous award in geand fashion yesterday.

cheers !

 

Thanks smeagle! <3

Eli didn't have such a bad day though considering the help he was getting. That pick 6 wasn't all on him.

 

of course he help celebrating, it was a party.

 

I went back and rewatched the game (DVR). There were some glaring mistakes the Giants made:

They decided to play a majority of the game in a cover 2. Nothing wrong with that except it left them vulnerable in mid field as they decided to have the safeties play outside. That gave Austin the easy post routes. You would rather get beat down the sidelines than in the middle of the field. The other big mistake on defense was on the screen pass to felix jones, they had no linebacking help in the zone area. No one accounted for Felix Jones.

Here is where you have to give credit to the Cowboys, their offensive line played like they pulled the 1993 era offensive line out of retirement. They gave Kitna time to throw, most of the time he was hitting 3 step drops anyway. You have to give credit to Garrett for using the screen passes as a part of the running game. They targeted Terrell Thomas with Dez Bryant. Dez Bryant is just flat out a dominant receiver, I dont think it would matter who was covering him.

Dallas' defense still wasn't all that good. The Giants lost 21 points yesterday. a holding call from Beatty on the goal line score by Jacobs (the next ensuing play was the pass that hicks didn't finish the inside route on, easy pick 6 for Dallas), the terrible holding call by Boothe on hicks 47yd TD and the TD that hit Kevin Boss is the helmet after going through his hands. That's actually a 28 point swing. That's huge. Where I am concerned a bit is the Giants for the second game in a row walked away with no sacks. After awhile, you have to start dialing up a blitz to free up that line. They cowboys used a lot of protect schemes to help too.

Where the Giants exposed in this game? No. This was a combination of a desperate and cohesive Dallas team needing a good performance and the Giants just playing lousy football. I wouldn't say the Giants gave this game away, I will say the Giants had every oppurtunity to win this game.

The positives of yesterday's game for the Giants? Not many, but we can put to rest any idea that losing Steve Smith was going to hurt the Giants. Manningham filled in nicely. I don't think he can be covered in the slot spot. The other positive area other than the penalties on the Offensive line help, was they protected Eli all game. Andrews nailed Demarcus Ware all game. It's time to use Petrus at the LG spot, over Boothe.

Good stuff BBB! overdue rep for you sir.

 

haaaaa, the eagles have a ton more sacks than the giants !

oh wait, you guys are talking sacks given up. :icon_confused:

 

nice - now the only thing missing is capt trying to convince me that the eagles o-line is super duper. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

Giants are getting healthy at the right time.

Pierre Paul becoming a force on the line is going to stop the double teams on Tuck.

 

Eli set to make his 100th straight start. Only the 6th QB to do so.
