Thursday's News and Tweets from Practice - Fewell/Gilbride

Has to say about Chase's comments after last Sunday's game.

that says there will be a change or two in the starting offensive line.

knowing the reporters....they won't even ask him.
That would be the 1st question I would ask.

he will refute what Chase said and deny the Panthers knew what was coming.

Gilbride is the type of guy who believes he is smarter than everyone else which explains why his in game adjustments are so poor and why he also does not change calls or make adjustments when facing an opponent who has an ex-giant on that team.

To me, it is Gilbride's major failing as a OC...his arrogance.

Looks a lot like "Farewell Gilbride" at first glance that's what I thought was the title of this thread

if the OL doesnt block anyone..

You said it best!! If Gilbride is OC next year, I won't be watching the Giants. I knew on the first damn drive, chase gave them some good info about the offense.

LIES!! You can't quit this team! =)

that the OC is the fault here? He has shortcomings as does every coach, but we should have been planning better for Diehl and Snee falling off their respective cliffs because with a solid line Wilson and the 3 Amigos at WR would thrive.

.

He may not be the only issue. He is a veteran coach, if he needs me make big time adjustments to his scheme to compensate for what's going on then he needs to do it. The question is will he? It seems like the attitude is this is our offense, we will win or lose with it. Fuck, run something different to help generate momentum.

With Tim Carter and Mario, weren't we running reverses often? Do something different as a tendency breaker. Something has to change, let's see or hear what both coordinators have to say today.

and then Gilbride just might be HC.

If you're hoping to ease your frustration by looking for major changes you're going to disappointed(IMHO).

Unless of course he told the other Carolina defenders to rush the passer because the Giant O-line can't block. Then maybe we have something.

I'd bet my tax return Kevin Gilbride will never, ever be head coach of this team.

At least I really, really hope not.

and certainly as much of a possibility as him being fired.

As TTH said, at least I hope not.

have the same coaching staff in place. That is completely unacceptable to me as a fan.

of two title teams, the second of which was carried completely by the offense, doesn't get Gilbride a head coaching position, I'm thinking his window is slammed shut.

It happens.

Pretty sure I remember Antonio Pierce giving away secrets for the Giants against his former Redskins team back in 2005 when we shut them out, 36-0.

We can make this team bigger, stronger, younger…oops, no wait…that’s the new head coach description…especially the younger part!

And while picking on coaches, I think the linebacker coach should be upgraded.

I'm sure Ed Reed gave his new Houston teammates and coaches the same type of information about the Ravens. They still got blown out.

maybe thats because the Ravens were smart enough to change some things around, knowing Reed was going to give up some information?

football genius.

Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. But by the way the O-line laid down it didn't matter

in that scenario, you may be right.

I guess I just made it worse.

...when it was 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1...everybody in the civilized world knew what the next play was going to be,,,and nobody could stop it anyway.

Nuff said.

Bass, Snee, not at practice. Also not working are Robinson, Williams, Thomas, Webster. Taylor and Paysinger look like they're a go.

Jacquian Williams is another guy who is hurt all of the time. Should dump him in offseason.

Robinson must have screwed something up (setback) when he came back to practice a week or two ago, because he hasn't been back since.

was a tweet yesterday that said Cordle was back at center...ughh.

Robinson and Williams.

Tell me about it. Hahahaha

the coming offseason, the Giants have to rid themselves of high-priced veterans who are underperforming, but they also have to dump these guys who just are hurt all of the time.

Beatty-Brewer-Boothe-Mosely-Pugh so much to ask?

Has plans to make Oline adjustments in this game. Because I would hate to see Eli back there getting killed 2 weeks in a row.

that's what BBI wants, but that group is so green it will get its ass kicked too. Just wait for the stunts and blitzes to confuse the hell out of them.

They may go with Cordle at center and he sucks.

There's very little you can do to hide a bad offensive line.

The Travis Beckum of Tight Ends.

seemed to hold up well enough on opening night. So really all you're asking is to replace Snee with Mosely.

If you want to tell me Mosely doesnt know what the hell he's doing out there, I wouldnt be able to argue that but physically he's got to be better than Snee at this point with, now, 2 bad hips.

Besides, we're 0-3, this IS panic mode time. You do whatever it takes to try to improve the line.

the constantly hurt players need to go. I may give Williams another year to see if he can right it as he at least has value in the sub packages on defense

but the constantly hurt guys need to go.

I don't know why they will play cordle. we KNOW he sucks. at least with boothe at C and mosley and brewer at guards or Diehl at a G, there is the potential for that group to improve. cordle is shit and you can debate if he should even be on the team

I share your fear... Eli is one of, if not the hardest working member of this team and he is in real danger of getting hurt behind this line. He can't keep taking this kind of punishment every week. If he gets hurt, NYG is REALLY done for this year.

If just for the sake of Eli's health. I'm cringing if the repeat of last weeks OL play vs Panthers shows up Sunday again.

I'm expecting some respectable improvement from them (fingers crossed).

I played O-Line my whole life and coached it. I ain't saying I am an expert by any stretch but I know and love the intricacies of O-line play and watching Cordle play in the pre-season was the absolute worst I have ever seen a center play football. He was physically whipped so many times its not funny. The guy should not even be on the roster never mind starting a game that could all but end the season.

The Chiefs may be a more physical, explosive front than Carolina. The idea of Cordle playing in this game alone terrifies me.

Dontari Poe may pick him apart like ribs.

Im looking forward to seeing this oline.
Beatty Mosley Boothe Brewer Pugh.

hey who knows maybe these guys are the next kickass oline.

to put a 4 man offensive line in front of him and have the defense come in hard. That will be the best way to simulate for Sunday by the looks of things.

be surprised if Coughlin plays Mosley and Brewer. It will be one or another at most. And even that isn't a given. He might try:

Beatty, Boothe, Cordle, Diehl, Pugh.

That would be a nightmare, but it would preserve his long term track record of never playing Brewer or Mosley, let alone both at the same time. Diehl was awful when healthy. Can you imagine how he'll play with a busted finger and no work for what, six weeks? He tries hard and is a warrior, but it's over. It's over for him, Snee, Baas, Boothe, and Cordle.
