The Saints needed a complete rebuild with a new coach...oh by the way they are one ass kicking away from being #2 first round bye.
We have the talent. We just don't have the coaching staff that is creative enough to use it. Coughlin and Huf I don't even know what dark age they came out of because they both seem obsessed with a pass-first offense when you have a MVP RB and a bruiser and a half of a backup.
I love how TC cremes his pants talking about Giant pride, yet he has no clue what Giant pride is. It is a tough defense combined with a bruising running game that wears down an opposing defense.
Right now our opponents know this. "They will blitz in the first half, and in the second we can get our points."
This teams coaching staff is pathetic. The thing that pisses me off is EVERYONE in the entire world can see it yet the dumbasses standing on the sideline can't.
It's a pleasure to find somebody who isn't either a homer or in need of glasses. Great posts! Both of these posts sum up many of the real issues that are and will continue to keep the Giants from reaching their true potential, if they are not changed. Although some of our players have certain behaviors that need attention, that is one of the reasons why coaches are paid: to help teach players how to become better football players, among other things.
Every time I see either Pierce or Emmons 30 yards downfield in coverage I shake my head. That's one reason why I agree with your putting pressure on the QB at all costs instead ofplaying this psuedo-safe sort of prevention type of pass protection. Pierce and Short do more damage blitzing than they'll ever do in coverage! They have to change that if they want to go anywhere in the play offs. I too, agree, that Eli will not reach his potential because he needs coaches who see the real deal and can then fix it. I don't even hear any of the analysts talking about this need for Eli. Maybe that would be considered against the rules in their business: like a doctor ratting out another doctor. I don't know.
Lubeck, unfortunately, you're right about our coaching staff. What is it that they say?: We're always the last one to know the truth. Maybe, starting tomorrow, if you believe in divine intervention, the entire coaching staff will wake up and have the ability to see the truth, something akin to the movie with Jim Carrey where he could only tell the truth- no lies.
I guess the positive spin is that at least we have talent and that's an excellent start. Go Giants beat the Eagles.
