Storm Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Why is it everytime we win a championship Reese and Coughlin feel compelled to make 6-7 personnel changes that result in an 8-8 follow up season? We went 9-7 last season. I don't mind going 8-8 if it means we are still in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Gee excuse me if I do not feel that way, I'd rather go 19-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Stock is rising: Dwayne Hendricks - A definitive standout performance last night. He was all over the field, I was even surprised to see him track down the Jags' QB on the far sideline on one play. Showed quickness, burst, and power. He probably elevated himself... I know after that display I want to see him against the starters for a series or two in the next game. Adrian Tracy - Showed excellent pass rushing ability, really looked like a quality DE, getting to the QB multiple times. With Trattou out, Tracy can push for that 4th DE spot, and he put Trattou on notice last night. I couldn't agree more with these two. They put on a show out there and more than deserve a shot at the starters sometime this preseason. I didn't like losing Tollefson but I feel more than comfortable going into the season with Tracy as the #4 DE. Stock is falling: Stevie Brown - You can't get trucked by a 3rd or 4th string running back for a TD when you have him lined up. You have to make a tackle there, and that's a play that will stick in Fewell's memory. Matt McCants These two probably looked the worst out there IMO. Dishonorable mention for Greg Jones, who totally wiffed on tackling the same RB that trucked Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Oh, I'd also like to give an honorable mention to the whole special teams, who despite not having anyone who could catch the ball, seemed to dominate both returns (when they occurred) and coverage. Also Tynes was kicking-off longer than we're used to seeing, even put one out the back of the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Good point on Jones, I noticed that he missed that tackle as well, and I think Will Hill was right behind him and also missed a tackle there. But that's a play Jones has to make. I did not notice enough of him for him to make either category, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'd like to mention David Wilson. He may turn out to be one of Reese's top 3 picks of all time........he is not just good, he is spectacular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a play Jones has to make. I did not notice enough of him for him to make either category, though. From everything that I've read, both Jones and Paysinger are battling for the last spot on the team. If true, Paysinger looked like a man competing against a kid for the last slot. One can tell who spent the offseason doing whatever necessary to improve while the other one might have used his new celebrity status to chase women (or whatever). Paysinger was a monster out there. Hopefully, it's not an aberration and the sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Nice write up Jim. I agree with everything but Sean Rogers. He was getting pushed around, yes. But he was also commanding double teams and even a few triple teams. That's what he does just clogs up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hixon wasn't even dressed, ya dope. This is true. And as youve noted in the past, you can't catch fade passes when you dont dress for the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStroud Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey I hear you, but it would be nice once to run through the regular season with a 11-12 win season and THEN win a SB too Coughlin and Eli need this if they want to make Mount "Rush/Pass"More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Jackybo, the only fan in this history of the NFL that would go 12-4 or 13-3 rather than 8-8 and win a Superbowl. You sure you're not a closet Cowboys fan Jackybo? They post a lot of 12-4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coach, general manager and team have gotten me to the point where I won't even badmouth Gilfuck and his overly intricate and doctrinaire game plans .... Henceforth Coughlin will never again be referenced as Coach Cheerleader...Gillie will have to be part of another Super Bowl win before I deign to renounce his well earned nickname just yet.

Allstarjim Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Gilbride has looked a lot better as Eli has matured as a quarterback. Eli will now usually get the Giants out of a stinker of a play if it's not there. I don't think that was the case quite as much for the first half of Eli's career.
