The Giants aren't good in a lot of ways.  Unfortunately, one way they are good is running the football.  And one way we are terrible is defensing the run.  That is a bad matchup for us.

I think we can take care of business on offense, provided we don't trot out a game plan that involves us outsmarting the Giants and instead we outsmart ourselves.  We have no business trying to outsmart anybody. 

As people said, this could go either way.  Based on last week for both teams, if it comes down to the wire and a coaching decision, let's hope we have the option to phone a friend.

Just think. Fat ass Brown was supposed to be run stuffer. And he suuuuuuucks.

Well, the upside is our pass rush was bad, too.  If that continues, maybe Jones will see no need to run out of the pocket.  That will probably make our rushing defense stats look better, which in turn will give Rhule a silver lining to talk about on Monday.

I wonder if Phil Snow has ulcers over this defense.  It is his creation, but he should still be hitting the Maalox.

I don't think we'll see Saquon run wild. I think last week was a fluke and they'll tighten up going forward

Based on what? No new personnel, same DC that we've seen get gashed by the run for years now... signs do not point to such a conclusion.

The one thing I do think was a fluke last week were all the missed tackles.  I mean damn, 18 missed tackles is not something you expect to persist throughout the season.  Otherwise, we'll end up with almost triple the number of missed tackles this season as we did last season.

Hopefully they emphasized this in practice all week, something I think Snow did mention.

Look at last year under both guys that were Rhule's OCs and last week for a clue. They're going to be pass heavy despite saying they want to run.

True, but Rhule has a habit of being called out on things and course correcting for a week.  Not always, but it happens some. 

but yeah, overall McAdoo is going to do what he does.  Go pass heavy out of 11 personnel week after week 

For example about the course correct when called on stuff, McAdoo got called out for his bullshit repeated personnel and the fact he only put 3 WRs on the field all game.   McAdoo claimed some 50 play defense but that was bologna.  Tons of teams only got 50 something plays.   Teams with 50 plays put different WRs on the field because they don’t want defenders looking at the same dude running out of the same formation for 50 straight plays.   Now suddenly TMJ has the greatest practice of all time out of nowhere.  What a coincidence.   Thankfully to the best practice of his life McAdoo might be able to put Higgins and TMJ on the field occasionally and mix up some looks and plays.

What feels a bit less hopeless this season, is having an OC who can actually adjust to what the defense is doing.  Last season we pretty much knew we were doomed if we were down at halftime due to the inevitable Joe Brady implosion in the 3rd quarter.  Our 17-7 halftime deficit would've been 38-7 after 4 straight 3-and-outs lol.  Now I feel like we at least have a chance to claw our way back from behind.  Definitely need the D to step it up though.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
