What do they do?

Come out like they're going to hard count and then punt if the Eagles don't jump, then Eli steps back into shotgun, they pass it and Cruz takes it down to about the Eagles' 5 yard line.

Coughlin is a defensive minded guy and has won two Super Bowls. Food for thought.

(Then Eli throws a pick to start the 4th, but the point remains, lol.)

Giants also:

Have won x2 Super Bowls, allowing for a little more freedom if that play doesn't work.

Have a dominant defensive line that Coughlin believes in, in case that doesn't work.

Has two-three above-average to very good wide receivers that can be a nightmare for almost any defensive backfield in the NFL.

Have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

There is a reason that they won the Super Bowl last year. They're a fuging good team.

And they make decisions that most teams don't have the guts to.

Coughlin was always an offensive coach before he became a head coach. Receivers, QB, and OC.

My fault then, but regardless, his teams weren't renowned for their offenses. I was only 12 when he became the coach of the Jaguars, so I wasn't aware of his background.

These Giants teams he's coached have always been known for their defenses as well up until the last year or so. The point is still valid.

Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

Do you remember the Jags of the late 90s with Brunell? They were not shabby.

Yeah, with Jimmy Smith, McCardell, and Stewart/Taylor at RB.

Good teams.

I knew he came from the Parcells coaching tree though, and his teams always seemed on the conservative side strategy-wise, so I always assumed he was defensively oriented.

You learn something new everyday, lol.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
