Nas Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So I'm reading this article and it got to this part which infuriated me... After playing with a nickel defense (2 linebackers, 3 cornerbacks) the entire game against the Eagles, expect the Giants to go back to their base formation in Dallas. With linebackers Jon Beason, Jameel McClain and Jacquian Williams on the field together, it should help. Fewell declined to provide an explanation as to why he went with a nickel defense the entire game in Philadelphia. "I won’t discuss that," he said. "I have to play the team again. I am not going to discuss that." http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2014/10/giants_weekly_defensive_observations_include_perry_fewell_heaping_praise_on_the_cowboys_o-line.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I think going nickel against Philly is pretty much conventional wisdom... wait, Andy Reid is still their coach, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Of course you stay in a nickel--Philly doesn't have a running back, right? It's the same logic that has him rush three on obvious passing downs: Foles couldn't pass for a first down if he's running for one--mission accomplished. I know, he gets turnovers. I just wish he'd get an occasional punt after 3rd and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
