Iceman_NYG Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 As it is we had a bunch of paperbags as safeties. Now Mykele Thomson is out for the season with an Achilles injury and Landon Collins has an MCL sprain (out only for a week or two)...but still I think, teams will be racking up 450-500 yrds against us each week - Spags or no Spags. Im loading up with Giants players in Fantasy. They are going to be playing from behind or having to score 30-40 pts each game to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to give until week 4 or so to see what this team really is, but you'd have hoped Reese would have gotten the team better players at Safety, LB, and OL than what we've got now.

JMFP Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Same old same old with guys...soft tissues injuries, which have to once again make you wonder what the fuck the training staff is doing. As much as I love TC, at some point, you need to turn the page on how this team physically prepares for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Not at all. It hurts the depth chart and the rookies learning curve but this team will keep moving forward whether it be walking or stumbling. I agree with the week 4 as a guideline. Who knows, JPP might be starting by that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might use this thinking on fanduel, but can this offense move the ball this way with run-run-pass-punt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA4M Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Either way, it just seems the other team knows what the hell we're doing a little too much. I hope we're more creative even though it was just a preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Please tell me you're not trying to judge the creativity of the playcalling in the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA4M Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Preseason or not, that was one the worst displays of being prepared for a game from the coaching end of it. It never hurts to practice creativity either. I can only hope they were holding back, if not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I couldn't watch the game, but from all accounts I've read, it was a very poor showing. There was no success by the offense. We're supposed to be this high powered offense now with Cruz (who I know, didn't play), OBJ and Randle (who played sparingly, if at all). So sure, we weren't full strength by any means...but we couldn't get a first down with the starters on starters? Not one? I don't think it was the sloppiness that has raised concern. It was the extent of ineptitude that was on display. I mean, after all, it isn't like the Bengals had some advantage in preperation time. You could argue that they weren't changing defenses like we are. You could argue that our offense is still only 1 year into its system where they've had more time. But not one first down, really? Oh, and our defense, giving up a long TD drive right out of the shoot. It was an extraordinarily small sample size, so I refuse to get too worked up. But at the same time, the concern is still justifiable. I take comfort in that it was just the first preseason game of 4. But, that is somewhat dashed by the injuries suffered therein. That was just a rough, rough start and shows how much work we have in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmenroc Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah that's my point. Trying to read into playcalling during preseason is silly. I don't know about others, but I'm not being critical of playcalling...but I think the ability to line up and beat the guy across from you was lacking...which may create an overreliance on the system that Spags brings. Again, I'm certainly not throwing in the towel, but to walk away from that game and pretend that there weren't any red flags is a bit shortsighted I'd say.
