Last two games it seems as though (offensively) our entire game plan is predicated on what our opponents do poorly instead of what we do well. I get there are several levels of offense and defense, but focusing on our long passing game to take advantage of the eagles soft secondary and our running game to take advantage of the cowboys d-line are the obvious recent examples. Wish Macadoo would focus a bit more on what worked weeks 3-5 instead of who our opponent is. Perry needs to change his approach badly...especially since we've lost so much of our secondary. That said, O-line really needs help. Just too much penetration on every play, run or pass.
Played right into their hands.
stupid not to have cox involved in the gameplan imo.
Every single good defensive team over the last 2-3 years has an identity, something they are really good at.
Defensively, we do nothing well, everything average.
and like eagles game they knew when it was a run..
at least try different play..Cant belive mac is calling
these plays..I knew when thet get up 14 we go
hurry up and it works...then se go back..wasted lot
of time..cant belive tc has no clue..even after tape
review he wont get it.....also...cox off ps returning
kicks? Washington inactive? Ogeltree no plays?
Bromley no play? Jerry had less cap but spent
on coaching....keep romo from throwing too much. .
run ball..build oline...keeping romo protected...
what's mara do...get injured free agents...low
cost...draft projects...bad coaches...ect...
someone should ask tc how he expects to run
w that oline and. Hoe eli is supposed to stay
healthy
i think the defensive problems are more lack of quality players rather than scheme
it seems like this defense was build with quality Defense backs in mind.. but we have no depth and injuries have decimated what quality we had
But why Coughlin would put the game in the hands of Williams , Hillis and Hynoski instead of Eli is a legitimate question. Giants do not have a good enough defense to,play ball control.
I understand the idea of limiting turnovers and mistakes and controlling the clock, but in practice it's not working because the Giants do not have the personnel to make it work, especially with Pugh injured and Richburg still learning and the Jerry starting.
I think this is really a case of forcing a gameplan
