Did Coughlin leak his gameplan?

[CRA]

So...I encourage everyone to go to Giants.com and listen to Coughlin's presser.

Maybe I am reading too much into it but it struck me as odd for some reason.  TC starts praising Norman and at the tail end says "he has had a tremendous year matched up against opposing 1s at least until he goes into the slot". Reporter then comments, "he doesn't go into the slot".

I don't follow TC. But something about the conversation and tone of the exchange made it sound like having Beckham in the slot all game will be exactly what the NYGs do....just found it interesting TC made a point to mention he hasn't done his work in the slot.  Reporters picked up on it too and followed up about it and he dismissed it but I just found it odd he went there...maybe he didn't intend to say that much 

so if that is the game plan, history would suggest Norman wouldn't go to the slot.  Hasn't followed Julio or others there.   

So so if the NYGs do that....and do it heavy...will Carolina wait until the NYGs torch us before we see Norman attempt his first slot action? Will it take multiple receptions? Will they simply choose to stay the course and not put Norman there at all? Not all teams have a Norman after all and the Giants so have a losing record? 

Will a very interesting matchup.  Given Manning is playing better than Ryan....Odell will be the most dangerous weapon of the year we will face.

Amazing that's the secret to beating the Panthers! What a genius TC is!

I think it's probably expected to see OBJ line up in the slot many times. However, the rest of the interior D will fill that gap quickly if that's the case.

Although we are thin at Nickel, we do have good play from safeties and LBs.  I think if we see a lot of Odell in the slot, he's going to face some tough jams by TD and Shaq, I'd then expect a safety to cover his area deep.  If Odell catches it between the LBs and safeties... he can do that... he's gonna accumulate some really nasty hits though.

Honestly, even if Odell burns us I don't think it's enough firepower for the Giants to beat us.  We WILL get a few turnovers.  I fully expect Cam and Co to smash their joke of a defense as well.

Not news to me... the big blue clowns have been putting OBJ in the slot all year.

[ThinkAboutIt]

If the Panthers go from winning 38-0 behind 7 sacks just two years ago to losing to basically the same team with a better Panthers team, it will prove the importance of home field.

If he goes into the slot, we need to jam him hard and lay his ass out a few times.  He's a diva when it comes to physical play so maybe it'll get in his head

Stack the box, double Olsen, and keep Cam in the pocket, right?

Yeah, I've noticed that as well...he doesn't like to hit or get hit.

jam him with shaq and pass him off to coleman or tre?

[beastson]

All I know is wherever he is, he bet not get a free release off the LOS

[Jon Snow]

You think Ron and Co. haven't already planned for this?  Child please!

Just let Davis hit him Jimmy Graham style and he won't be entering the slot the rest of the game.

Putting OBJ in the slot is all well and good until KK knocks Eli on his ass a couple times... :)
