Grubb and MM both have said they went to the pass when the Run wasn't working, so I'm' not seeing a departure and more of an adjustment. I love that we no longer have to watch run after run that gains nothing, so let's try it again... Arrghh! Seems it is more a measure of our O-Line efficiency and effectiveness. Until they gel (and they will), we'll depend on Geno's arm and his continued ability to know the O-Line's leakage points (Hint: Forsythe).
That’s interesting because last game they seemed to not get going early with too much passing and not enough running. It wasn’t until they started to run more that they opened the game up.
Seems one of the last crucial components to develop with our Defense is communication. Knowing who is doing what to who, when and why. To expect new players to show the much-needed proficiency in silent comms in an insanely loud stadium was a Big Ask last week. Too big. I expect Coach will have everybody close to 100% out playing tomorrow, if only to get their groove gelling again. Maybe the 12s will find a way to stay quiet just long enough to let them get tuned, but I don't expect it. Huge advantage is it will be exactly the same in 4 days when we begin dominating our Division. MacDonald is getting the 3 crucial things needed: Practice, practice, practice. I hope to see the training wheels are no longer critical by the second half tomorrow. And let's not forget: Spoon is DUE. That explosion will be a wonder to behold.
One thing I realized. Last couple of years we’ve had a top 5 rookie at the end of the year. Looks like we’re not getting a three peat this year. Beginning of the year looked possible but now less so. Bummed.
My hope actually would be Knight :-). Murphy not a starter (semi starter as interior DLine is a shared starting as they alternate so much) and now injured and not yet back. If Knight though could be in there (yes LB isn’t a typical high level spot anymore) but if him then we could feel really good for future with stars at all 3 levels.
It makes sense that communication was a big issue for the D in Detroit. I saw some names on jerseys that I simply didn’t recognize. (Practice squad call ups). Hopefully not the case tomorrow.
I see the offense starting fast and really getting the crowd into it. And that spells doom for the Giants O. 6 false starts seems about right.
I'm going to just let this game wash over me. No idea after last week what the response will be, as I've never seen this team respond to a big loss. I'm very curious though. I'd be happy with 4-2 going into the break. I'd be delighted with 5-1. 3-3 would be a bummer after a 3-0 start, but learning tough lessons are required. Regardless of record, get healthy over the break and come out playing great.
Hang in there Chuck. Looking forward to seeing you back here when you're able. I see another storm brewing in the Gulf, heading for Florida again. Unbelievable. Those poor people can't even get time to recover from the last one.
So glad I didn’t hear, “Let Geno cook”. May the 13s be with you and Go Seahawks!
Great write up.
This is a game for the D to show big time. The D will get 4 sacks and 2 INTs with one to the house.
K9 and Charbs coming for 150 on the ground and another two rushing TDs. JSN gets his first TD.
31 -9 final score!
WIN IT FOR CHUCK!!

It’s still early—Murphy is a candidate.

And a 35 - 13 victory.

I want to see the Giants get stomped on, HARD.
KenStradamus had Rayshawn as #1 prediction < unfortunately, last week >
Keep predicting and calibrating your gift, savant!
Today he * skipped * to a 100 yard touchdown.
Did Ken play his famous “Eye of the Tiger” multimedia motivational medley for Rayshawn after the postponement of RJ’s breakout?
