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?

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
