The Giants defense

Last year they fired their DC after the season and hired Perry Fewell from Buffalo. This is the guy who ran the defense that held the Panthers to 9 points last year (2 on a safety). You could argue that we blew it against the Bills because we threw twice as much as we ran, but his defense still worked well against us.

Fewell is a Coughlin guy who's big on the Tampa 2. It looks like he's running it again in New York, although he's throwing different looks out there to disguise the coverages. If he is, do you think we'll actually run it as much as we pass this time? That's how you attack a Tampa 2, right?

If he's not running it up there, what sort of defense are they using?

Two words Jake Dellhomme.

You realize even with the 4 ints we had over 450 yards of offense vs his defense? he doesn't scare me.

they had the 30th ranked rushing defense in the NFL last year...and ended with the 2nd ranked passing D...and we went in with the game plan of throwing the ball...on one of the worst ranked rushing Ds...thats what happened...retarded game planning and jake delhomme...he doesn't scare me one bit if we stick to what we are...a running team

I didn't see the bills vs panther game. Perry's defense is supposed to be a "bend, but don't break" defense that forces turnovers.

seems like a whole lot of bending without breaking.

not really, jakes wildly inaccurate passes were more to blame... and he was tossing ints like beads at Marni gras last year.

not too worried about their defense. even if it proves to be pretty decent eventually, it's a new system being brought in by a new DC. sound familiar? how long did it take to catch on here?

anyway, they aren't as good as the 4 defenses we played in preseason (though you might make an argument they are on the same level as the titans).

i feel better about our offenses chances because of that and because we will have done some actual game planning.

the good thing about this is even if they end up being top ten at the end of the year it's a new scheme and they will make mistakes at first

the much heralded Billy Spagnuolo even gave up something like 70 points on defense the first two weeks his first season at DC due to all the wrinkles in the new system

Jake threw three interceptions, all of which came early on drives. Kenny Moore fumbled. We missed two field goals. And we passed 44 times.

Two points here:

First, you can blame Jake Delhomme for all our problems last year, and a lot of you will, or you can look at the bigger picture. Williams averaged 5.6 yards per carry, but only got 16 of them. Stewart got 7 carries. We punted the ball eight times, and two of our drives ended on downs (one was at the half).

Second, Jake is no longer here. The Giants have different personnel. Are they suited to the Tampa-2? Who's their MLB? What are their DTs like?

Do people still discuss football on this forum, or is it all about bashing players and coaches?

      OFFICIAL Week 1: Panthers @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

      No PFF grades up yet but the all-22 is up. Just watched the first passing play (Q1 6:45) from 3rd & 2 on the CAR 37 where Bryce scrambled for the first. Dowdle whiffed going low on the blitzing Oluokun, which forced Bryce to scramble. If not for that, that ball was going to XL on a corner route that he'd have been open. Concerning though that Bryce looked like he was staring the route down (which he definitely did on the first INT of the day). This doesn't absolve Bryce as he made several flat out bad plays throughout the game. Also rather damning is that of the 40 drop backs, according to the filters there was pressure on 16 vs. 24 w/o pressure... though I'm questioning the validity of the early filters because the very first play I mentioned is flagged as "no pressure" when there's very clearly pressure. The first INT was a bad play by Bryce. He thought Murray had started dropping deep to cover Brycen Tremayne, but Murray read Bryce's eyes the whole time which stayed on XL. Murray "broke the rule" here and made a play, but he also wouldn't have made that play had Bryce not been staring XL down for most of the route.   Might not get an all-22 review post up until later in the week. I've got a conference next week that I'm prepping for and the family is still reeling from one of our pets passing over the weekend.

      We're just bad. Canales is not a good coach. Morgan is not a good GM. Young is not a good quarterback.  We haven't drafted well in a long time. All this stuff adds up. And now we're in a situation where no matter who we hire they're going to be starting at a negative because they're going to have to draft good talent and fill the entire team up.  I don't know guys I think we could be bad for a long time.

      So true.  I would love to have Jim, Dan, or Sean here.  So sick of stinking it up for the first 8 games and then fixing things just to make sure we dont have a top draft pick so we have to trade the farm if we want a top pick.
