Treehugger Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 +ves - Run blocking back to post-Eagles efficiency. If this is the real OLine then we're in good shape...and the Eagles D deserves a lot of credit. Anyone who wants to say Baas wasn't a good pickup needs to go study our power running game. - Bradshaw isn't broken. Sorry Andre Brown fans, Ahmad ain't going nowhere. One of the major criticisms against him was his unwillingness to follow his blockers. He showed yesterday at he can make great decisions as to when to bail on the play to break a big run. That's Bradshaw's strength, not his weakness. - Reuben Randle steps up. Great to see. - Stevie Brown has done more for the D than Kenny Phillips has so far this season. - Martellus "Toughguy" Bennett coming back out to play on a knee that was obviously swelling on him. Great to see that kind of committment but let's hope it didn't cause any further damage and doesn't get shifted to the "-ve" column mid-week. -ves - Pass rush? Hello? Browns' line is very good but our DLine is supposed to be feared, not managed. No blitzes yesterday either, even though (as Jack has rightly pointed out) that's the only way we're getting pressure this year. - Outside contain? Hello? Trent Richardson actually tweeted the Browns game plan to you guys days before the game and you STILL let them gouge you on the edges. - David Wilson's phenomenal returns looked to be the product of shitty Eagles kick coverage rather than anything our guys were doing.

Sephiroth Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Pros: Will Beatty was a flat-out beast, and has been since he's returned. He looks hungry. The reports of Bradshaw's death were greatly exaggerated. Will Hill laying a good stick on the receiver. David Wilson not fucking up. All the receivers. Cons: Can we get off to a fast start once this season? Enough excuses from the pass rush; until further notice, they suck. Antrel Rolle takes poor angles. Tackling on the RB (though Richardson is a beast as well). Not enough Slayer being played at the stadium, though Gangnam Style was a welcome addition.

boohyah Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think hixon has been outstanding overall considering his last 2 years were a bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think hixon has been outstanding overall considering his last 2 years were a bust I've been thinking the same thing. I have not been a big fan of Hixon and thought of him as a poor man's Manningham in which you get the occasional big play, but often is in the wrong place at the wrong time.....not to mention, fragile as hell and always getting injured. But....he has turned into one helluva steady threat and he seems healthy at last. He's come a long way and looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's partly correct. The Eagles coverage was pretty bad, but give the Browns some credit. Whenever they kicked off the ball fell short and towards the sidelines aside from the one Brown got hurt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 LOL, how is Hixon's last two years a "bust"? You're talking about a solely special teams player who the Giants picked up for that purpose and developed into a WR that would be at least #3 slot guy on just about every other team. You two are batty. The dude's been injured, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always been good, just gets freakish injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think you answered your own question. How so? Again, we're talking about a player thought to be a career special teamer who was shell-shocked because he accidentally paralyzed Kevin Everett....he comes here, way down the depth chart, proves he can make some plays when Nicks goes down, gets moved off just special teams, gets injured, comes back and STILL has a position on a deep Giants WR corps. The people have to tout you to be a bust. Hixon came out of nowhere, he is the anti-bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I couldn't believe my eyes in the first half, but the G-men came back with a vengance. I wish I could say the same for my boys but alas, Vick was once again dick fingered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've just never really heard a player's 2 injured ACL seasons as "busts"....especially when he wasn't supposed to be doing much in the first place for us. To me, Hixon has always been a pleasant surprise, even his early big plays in 2011 helped us win a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osi724dasack Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 You never see 60 yard bombs with KP back there. Ever as in it just doesn't happen. Especially to the browns.

There were 4 TDs of 30 yards or more thrown on us in the first two games. I'm not sure you can argue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 60 yard bombs by Brandon WEEDen. That's a 30 yard difference. Saying Brown is better then Phillips is just plain silly. Brown looks good but he's no Phillips when it comes to defending the deep ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
