Tom Coughlin's Giants have generally gotten the best of the Panthers, but when we have beaten them, it's been memorable.

 

The Panthers beat the Giants 41-9 in the next to the last week of the 2009 season. Matt Moore was the starting QB.

 

The Panthers also blew out - and shut out - Coughlin's Giants in the Wild Card game of the 05 playoffs (in their stadium).

 

But today's 38 point margin and shutout made this game Tom Coughlin's worst loss as Giants head coach.  Not just his worst loss to the Panthers, his worst to anyone.

 

For the record, 38 points is also the largest margin of victory in Panthers history.

 

The shutout was the fifth in team history and the first since 2008 (Chiefs in week 5, 34-0).

 

Seven sacks ties a team record for most sacks in a game.  They've hit seven a few times, the last time being a year ago against Atlanta.

 

Carolina was on the wrong side of a sack record last week, but the right side this time, so two straight games with sack records one way or the other.

 

Melvin White and Robert Lester can both now say that their first interception as a pro was against one of the Manning brothers.

 

Star Lotulelei got his first professional sack on Eli, as did Kawann Short.  The first two draft picks of Dave Gettleman's GM career got their first sacks against his old team.

 

Lots of memorable stuff today :D

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
