Fake punt screw-up

CT Charlie : 9/21/2014 10:47 pm
On the highlights it looked as if Corey Washington (rushing from the left end) was the one who fell asleep on the Texans' fake punt. For people who recorded the game, I'd be curious to know if he played again on our punt return team -- and whether he stayed wide.

I hope you're wrong since TC said the guy had to contribute more on ST. Wouldn't bode well for his chances at WR.
Washington was chipped at the line

Even if he saw it coming, he never had a chance.

to tell...it could have been Berhe too. It was a well designed play.
Believe it or not...

I actually said "watch the punt fake" just before the play. Don't know why, but it happened.

Met-Life Stadium, December 2010 vs Philly...I, along with thousands of people in the stadium, and millions of viewers watching at home...we all actually said "watch out for the onside kick" before the play. Don't know why, but it actually happened.

Sure it wasn't 2011?
Whoops

I was wrong. It was 2010. Sorry. Getting old.
Nah, just good old superstar Quinn antics

Like last year vs Green Bay, he had his usual expression of "huh they are allowed to do that!?!?!?!?!
They were only in position to make that call because the Giants

gave them 9.5 yards on 3rd and 10.
What bothers me about that play  
JFIB : 9/22/2014 8:52 am : link
is that the coaching staff should have recognized that down and distance, position on the field and where in the game it was as a higher probability scenario for a fake punt. In that situation, you should not have had 2 rookies guarding the edge but rather 2 vets and they should have been warned to look for it. That where the coaching fell short in my opinion.
Our scheme was fine

We had two players who were playing off the line on the outside. They were not rushing. I presume it was their responsibility to look for players leaking out into the flat. They seemed more concerned with their blocking responsibilities and did not react until the ball was caught. Either one could have stopped the play easily if they were alert. I did not DVD so I don't know who they were. It was not the fault of anyone who was rushing.
The play is on Giants.com
