Friday's News and Tweets from Practice

hows this week's preview coming along? Will we see it today?

Slow Friday at work it'd be nice to have it to speed up my afternoon. I wouldn't blame you for not writing one with the way the the team has played. I'm sure they are not as fun to write as they usually are.

Our O-line can't block for shit so our offense wont score and KC does not turn the ball over so our defense won't either. You might as well go play golf or take the family out to dinner

post them on Friday.

the Giants defense is going to play well this week.

With that, it will be up to the Giants offense to not make mistakes and give the Chiefs easy scores/short fields. Play smart...take what the defense gives you.

At this point, I want some competitive football.

don't golf, and don't have a family so I will be watching, but I understand your sentiment.

What does it say about the state of this team when the entire season may depend on James Brewer and Brandon Mosley? The former has hardly played by his third year, and the latter is a redshirt rookie.

If Brewer or Mosely was the answer, Boothe would not have moved so quickly back to guard when Baas came back from his previous injury.

If Cruz was the answer in 2011, why did they sign Stokely and start him ahead of Cruz??? Truth is Brewer was decent against Dallas, and Mosely looked fine playing with the ones in pre-season. TC loves his vets, expect to see Diehl if he's ready.

Stokely played ahead of Cruz, but he never started a game for the Giants.

.

Nice.

It's not as if they're just full of options.

we don't know if Cordle or Boothe will be at center.

We don't know if Brewer or Boothe or Mosley will be LG.

We don't know if Brewer or Mosley will be RG.

they'd have to insert two new Guards. Can't see them being ok with that. Probably be Cordle at Center, and Mosely at Snee's spot.

I know Cordle isn't a good player but there have been times he's gone in and held up pretty well. It hasn't been all bad.

it would be:

Beatty-Boothe-Cordle-Mosley-Pugh

Now that Baas, Snee and Diehl are out of the picture would you go..

Beatty-Boothe-Cordle-Brewer-Pugh

or...

Beatty-Brewer-Boothe-Mosely-Pugh

I have been lobbying for the latter all week long. My fear was Diehl going back in at guard, now my fear is Cordle. As I've said before, Beatty-Brewer-Boothe held up for the most part in Dallas. Can Mosely give more than Snee on 2 bad hips? I hope/think so.

I prefer

Beatty-Brewer-Boothe-Mosley-Pugh

Snee
Baas
Robinson
Nassib
Webster
Diehl (doubtful)
Cox or Hankins

think mosely has to be active in this case

.

it's a shitshow anyway you slice it.

I don't like Cordle at all so I'd go with your proposal.

you guys might get him.

I'm fearful of his inexperience, yet Cordle scares me at center for obvious reasons......

gut check time, fellas....

are probably going to have to make a roster move before Sunday to bring someone off the PS.

who the hell are the backups with DD, Snee, and Bass all out.......can you go in with one backup?

go into KC with only 6 offensive linemen active.

like I said, have to bring someone off PS.

I really hope the gameplan is changed to have Eli get rid of the ball quickly.

Try running it......and don't give up on it. Quick throws...pick your spots for deeper patterns.

Giants need to be smart about this offensively on Sunday.

What we are giving up in cohesion and experience we are making up with size, youth, athleticism and most importantly health.

I think there is at least potential with Brewer and Mosely out there.

I wouldnt be surprised if Donnell was the backup LT. Can he be any worse...haha

my crappity.

use a lot of 3 wr sets...with Manning in the shot gun and running a little more fast paced offense...get that defensive line tired and running around chasing after quicker guys..

Get wilson on the edge and throw quick outs to Nicks and Randle to get them in the open field...

Make KC's LBs chase Cruz around in the middle of the field..

Even with all this losses.

Sit back and enjoy the show it's going to be interesting if nothing else.

yes, yes it will.

you left out "while the Chiefs' defenders decapitate Eli in the meantime"?

added off practice squad who gets cut id say cox for a couple days

passes how is eli getting killed? it actually helps Eli not get killed if he is in teh shot gun and getting the ball out quickly...it takes their defensive line out of the game

he's going to take the snap and be running for his life.

Having said this, as in every Giants game I've ever watched, I fully expect them to play well and win.

I honestly believe the line surprises us(in a good way)and Wilson has a solid game.

gentlemen...

Usually, the Giants treat medical clearance as binary: If a player is cleared, he plays. If not, he's inactive. There's normally no such thing as, "He'll only play in an emergency." So I think Eric is right: somebody will be moving up from the practice squad.

going to be bad.

Why would anyone play Boothe at guard? He can't pull anymore, if he ever could, and center hides that weakness. But that would require Coughlin to play Brewer and Mosley at the same time, which he apparently won't do. The only other option would be to play Cordle at one of the guard positions.

Whatever the lineup, play Donnell, not Myers. We need a TE who can block to compensate for the OL more than a receiving TE.

What's really bad is that most of our passes are designed to go downfield. My understanding is that the Giants have been at or near the top of the league the last few years in passes completed and attempted over twenty yards. Our horrendous OL makes that impossible, and therefore neuters one of our most effective offensive weapons.

Wow. This really sucks.
