Ask a Giants fan

our O-line has been piss poor. Diehl in particular has been awful. Not sure about the status of our C and RG. Snee (the RG) had a concussion and was hospitalized so I highly doubt he’ll be playing, haven’t heard much about Baas.

Also don’t know about Jacobs.

unless the offensive line plays like they are possessed then Jackson will have a huge day.

The Giants have the capability to be awesome – anywhere. They also have the capability to suck real bad – anywhere.

The key to the game is keeping the turnovers down, and making sure batted passes don’t go into the Bill’s defenders hands. Last year we had a big problem with tipped balls almost always being intercepted instead of falling harmlessly, and the Bills seem to be awesome at the tip drill.

.if u are u have nothing to worry about…. most of the fans in the stadium dont even stand up on 3rd down, especially at 1 o clock games.

the place only seems to be loud when everything is going great.
Keys to victory for the Giants…. protect Eli, protect the football, contain Jackson, pressure Fitzpatrick

1) Yes he is still starting, and he’s actually turned his play around. Not pro bowl level but decent.

2) They’ve played well. Boley’s finally been playing like the player we thought we were going to get when he signed in 09. With Goff out for the season, we have a difference in the base and nickel defenses. In the base 4-3, we have rookie Greg Jones play MLB. He’s been ok there. In our nickel package, we have our other Rookie Jacquain Williams, who’s also our fastest linebacker. Williams has been playing much more than Jones due to the offenses we’ve faced. He’s picked up tons of sacks. Our SLB is Kiwanuka. I like him there because it puts the best players on the field (with Osi and JPP at DE). On passing downs he goes back to the line and plays DE and DT.

3) I’ll defer this to someone else who watches the film more, but not really (so far). On passing downs, we’ll replace one or sometimes even both DTs with DEs. I like it as a change of pace, but sometimes it gets overused imo.

4) Funny you ask this. I love the Bossman, but his role in the passing game was really overstated. Last year he only caught 35 passes, and dropped tons. Where we miss him most is his run defense, which is top notch. Ballard has been a suitable replacement in the pass game with 10 receptions and 2 tds. Ironically, he was known as a blocking TE, which has been pretty meh so far. Definitely a big surprise at his receiving success.

5) You’re awesome in my book. New York fans are fickle. If he’s winning the game, he’s teh bestest evar, when the Giants lose, he’s the over rated goofy looking brother. No middleground.
I love him and Eli is far from the Giant’s problems.

6) lol worry about our running game. We’ve averaged less than 4 ypc rushing, and something like 80 yards per game. Our o-line’s been pretty terrible, and not opening up running lanes. Until the last game, it’s been decent enough in pass protection, but last week they were horrible in all aspects. I wouldn’t be surprised if your (as I understand) anemic pass rush finally found what to do.

6. Do the Bills have to worry more about your running game or passing game?

Thanks for coming over and answering questions, much appreciated

The way we have been giving up yards on the edge, Bradshaw could rack up 150+ yards no prob.

The way we have been getting picks, Eli could gift wrap 4 for a Bills win ala Brady and Vick.

That question was a no brainer.

how many recs do you need to get up there? 19, 24, and 32 recs? that’s ridiculous!

If you mean Jimmy Kennedy, he was our 4th DT. He played well when he did, but it just hurts the depth.

hehehe, that was a rough stretch y’all had in the early 90’s. i used to hate you guys back then, you were so good. impossible to keep down.

I am also expecting Philly to go on a run soon that will put them right back in the middle of things.

even the Eagles. I won’t count them out until they lose 7 games.

and defense against the run. Can they turn them around… maybe… but they are lucky to be in this years NFC East, it is wide open for all 4 teams.

AB n BJ have always kept each other fresh, that aloud them to gash Ds late in games. This yr they’re not getting that many carries due to the poor line play…. If the oline ever gets it together again it would be alot more of BJ softening up ( sorry) the D for AB to exploit later.

Both Jacobs and Bradshaw have been catching the ball real well this year and each has at least one receiving TD.

we’d actually like him to touch it more. this year is an aberration, his career YPC are great, and last year he was only second to Jamaal Charles.

hell, there’s a poster known as FREEBRADSHAW who even says Big Boy needs more touches!

he just started doing individual drills on the sideline during practice today

AB’s 80 yard run saved us from losing that game at Buffalo in 2007. It is the victory in this game that helped securing a post season spot for us that year which led us to winning the superbowl.

division as the Jest and Patsies.

Abayarde awakens and has spoken the truth

“UNLEASH THE CRACKEN!”

Sen It to a Galaxy far beyon Obiblion

The next discovered anything in the sky must be named “Obiblion.”

As a matter of fact, my kids enjoy writing fiction stories and they’re always trying to come up with place names. Next time they ask me for a suggestion, “Obiblion” it is.

“…The Whagon Blasters. Like a Buffalo with a Demon inside.”

Awesome.

@awesome

Obiblion n. Last intergalactic stop before the Abayarde Soulyard.

Is Victor Cruz better than Mario Manningham? There is one for ya

altho i’d actually suggest Jones may be more important than Williams this week. if he’s in there on run downs, his nose for the runner may be of utmost importance. this may be his coming out party – if he’s out there.

so I’d expect you guys to be in max protect for some time. Make sure you have someone chip whoever Hairston is on.

We usually don’t help the tackles much, even against elite pass-rushers. This will be an interesting battle to watch during the game for sure.

Gailey will use chips to help out the Tackles, but generally he just uses screens and draws to help slow down an intense pass-rush, similar to the Philly game. We may go a little more 1 TE sets this week though with our thinned out WR corp, but I wouldn’t expect it.

Bucky Brooks has an X-Factor article and he called Demetrius Bell an X-Factor this week, totally oblivious to Bell being hurt and not practicing for two weeks. Didn’t even mention an injury, the dude has no business as a journo. Hairston was good last week, didn’t hear his name called at all and although I didn’t specifically notice it I’m sure Philly put Babin over there to try and exploit him.

He throws rocks at Blimps

Except Vick>Wildcat

And considering how often they see him and how they manhandled him 3 weeks ago, I don’t see the wildcat as something the Giants will fear.

They just need to be prepared when they see it.
