FYI: Francesa today -- Jets press conference; Reese & TC

Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 10/27/2014 1:25 pm
Mike is broadcasting the Jets press conference in 10 minutes, for giggles I guess.

He will also have TC and Jerry Reese on, as well as Derek Fisher.

No, it's bad.. it was bizarre. At least he's talking about football things now. He's delusional.. but.. a little more normal than talking about how hard Eric Decker prepares or how SHeldon Richardson was getting IV's on the sidelines on a hot day.
Idzik was a terrible hire. He's a capologist, not a personnel guy.

So, so funny.
I happen to believe that Rex is a flawed head coach,  
Exit 172 : 10/27/2014 2:00 pm : link
but if Woody were to make one move after this season, the right one would be to fire Idzik, not Rex.

The Jets can compete with Rex at head coach. With Idzik at GM, I think they're in Jaguars/Raiders territory and won't be able to land a quality head coach.
Press is incredulous

TC: "we need to see more of Washington"

TC: Eli's playing well  
dpinzow : 10/27/2014 3:10 pm : link
put together a string of some games where he's done great when protected, the Philly game aside

But offensively we are not scoring enough points. Insists on more balance and running the ball. Disappointed that the Giants have not run the ball effectively.

Not enough big plays---but my question is how are we going to get big plays if the OL doesn't give Eli enough time?
TC: Impressed with OBJ  
dpinzow : 10/27/2014 3:11 pm : link
OBJ literally missed nothing in an educational aspect. We've had to make adjustments in regards to Eli throwing deep to OBJ and that's the reason why we've not seen a lot of deep shots in his direction

TC: We'd like more out of Randle. Donnell's made some plays but we'd like more out of him too. Preston Parker's worked very hard; he's very quick. In the right situations Parker will make some plays

Francesa: questions the secondary and its injuries

TC: DRC's tried the best he can but he's not been himself. Prince has played relatively well, even against Dez (Mike concurs). Dez is just so good that he just makes plays few other receivers make

We need to play better everywhere. TC thinks JPP's played well and the effort is 100%. JPP's worked hard in practice and good things are going to be there. JPP's healthy. We've expected a lot from that DL but we've not stopped the run the way we've liked
TC on Beason

Beason's tried everything possible to get all the way back but it is just not in the cards this year, so we agreed on the surgery. McClain will remain at MLB with the headset

Francesa: This has been a very tough stretch. 18 teams with winning records. The wild cards are going to be tough and these next 4 are top teams, one right after another.

TC: We've got a 9 game season and our level of play is not where it needs to be after looking at the games this weekend. We've got to play above the x's and o's. We need some plays from some people we don't expect.

The protection was good last week and we've had other weeks where it was good. It was very bad against the Eagles and it was also bad against Detroit.

Last week was a game where we could have been a little more aggressive in looking downfield so I don't buy that it's all because he's worried about getting Eli killed.
His QB's terrible play last year probably scarred him more than the OL  
Riggies : 10/27/2014 3:29 pm : link
did.

Manning's not that broken player anymore, but Coughlin's rigid stance on how they have to keep running at a very high clip because if they don't they'll just turn it over in the passing game pretty much says most of it as to what 2013 did to his mindset.

But Reese has some credibility as a SB winning GM to take on his coach, even if his suggestions are correct or not. I actually like the fact he's implying that the brakes should be taken off and Eli should throw it more. That being said, Reese has to understand that the OL he built better protect Eli long enough to throw the ball deep to the one legit deep threat we've got

That's interesting Reese said that. Well, the OL stinks and we can't run block. We tried taking adv. of the Eagles secondary and tried passing concepts we didn't run previously and the Eagles beat us down.

So against Dallas, we went back to what we normally ran and while we lost, Eli had a 3 TD game. Quick passes meant the OL was efficient in pass blocking, but still stunk at run blocking.

Not sure what else Reese wants us to do. Fix the OL so that we can run more 5 and 7 drops and not get Eli killed. Add more weapons to the offense, then we don't have to be so cautious.

I don't think throwing more means a million interceptions, either. A good chunk of the picks that were thrown last year were Eli throwing to a spot where a receiver was supposed to break towards while the WR decided to run the wrong way.

I'm not suggesting we just get reckless and throw 55 times a game but trying to force the run game got us nowhere last week. It wasn't until we put the ball in Eli's hands late that we started moving right down the field on their defense. We should have done it earlier.

I'd rather take my chances with the ball in Eli's hands than watch run play after run play get stuffed for no gain and keep punting at the cost of "balance"
I think the Giants should ride whatever's working in a particular game  
Exit 172 : 10/27/2014 5:11 pm : link
If we're shredding a particular team on the ground, stay with it until the defense stops it. Don't just start throwing for the sake of balance. If Eli only ends up with only 18 attempts, but the Giants win, so what?

On the other hand, if we're moving the chains at will in the air on another team that just can't cover our receivers or rush Eli, don't stop the momentum with one-yard and two-yard runs just to maintain a balanced offense. If we only run the ball 15 times, but win, so what?

You have to get a feel for each game's dynamics, and ride what's working. You can't go into a game and cling onto "balance" with white knuckles.

I was waiting for this.....
Balance / Running The Ball - A Means Or An End?  
Trainmaster : 10/27/2014 6:36 pm : link
One could get the impression that Coughlin believes the being 'balanced' is so important that it is almost an end / goal rather than a means to and end / goal.

Sometimes (I think of the 2011 season NFC championship game) that running the ball, even when you are getting few yards is important to keep the defense guessing (and minimize the physical beating your QB is taking).

However, there have been times when clearly the running game is not working and Tom seems to push it regardless when moving away from "balance" (but not totally giving up on the run) seems more warranted.

Rather than Coughlin keep saying we need balance, I'd rather him say that the Giants will continue to work to improve the running game, but that they are willing to be "unbalanced" (as they were in SF) in order to win.
