| "Quite frankly, we have called pressures," he said. "Pressures have been aborted or not performed very well. How would you like to be the guy who is sitting there calling pressures? And we call pressures and nothing happens so you're vulnerable in the secondary even more when you do that. You're not getting home. How would you like to be the guy calling those plays?" |
| "When we're calling pressures, take a look and see who's getting home," he said. "You can talk about pressure all you want, but we've got to have people who get to the ball, get to the quarterback. That hasn't happened much." |
| "There's a bunch of guys up front that are supposed to be known for that," he said of his anemic pass rush. "It (quarterback pressure) is something that has been missing for the majority of the season." |

We are sitting back in 4 Quarters defense or that stupid Tampa 2 that Fool calls...
I still think it's got a lot to do with Fewell and how he designs his defenses and sorry blitzes.
Yeah, in like 2011.
I wonder if he's covering for PF(likely) and JR(possibly), or is almost TRYING to lose the players, in order to bring on a confrontation with JR about the amount of SUCK of the players JR acquires?
TCs comments tend to imply things more gently than those comments.
A 'disconnect' mentioned in another thread seems VERY real at this point.
It maybe time for Coughlin to move on as well though, today's NFL calls for a team to get there younger players on the field faster, for better or worse and he maybe too old school for that. It seems like the only way young players get on the field is when that unit is hit with injuries.
and its not good for the team
Spags is the greatest!
This defense fucking sucks. Personnel fucking sucks. Fewell hasn't helped but the #1 reason why this defense fucking sucks is because the players.....yup you guessed it, fucking suck.
Fewell is gone don't worry. But we have 1-2 holes at every position on defense. 1-2. That's a lot.
What a crock of shit. I was on the fence regarding Coughlin last year but it's clear to me now that we HAVE to clean house with this coaching staff (in addition to the roster and Ross). Maybe just spare the OC.
if your front four is not getting the job done on their own, it's up to the coaches to come up with some creative schemes to bring pressure. it could be that the blitzing isn't being practiced/coached in a crisp manner.
that is on both coughlin and PF.

This.
Guess what happens then?
The linebackers have to cover people. THESE linebackers.
Good fucking luck with that.
I really like TC, but that has to be the thing I hate the most about him... always in a hurry to blame everything on "execution", disregarding why players are not executing, adjusting to it, or simply holding players accountable (playing time).
He's just getting a bit more blunt and ornery. Frankly I prefer this version. It's all the players fault the the coaches can't possible be asked to do anything with these shitty players they have.
Good riddance Tom. Don't let the door hit you in the ass in the way out.

And what has happened this year. Same shit. Blown coverages. Miscommunications. It never ends. Tom has done a terrible job picking DC's with the exception of Spags. He is more defending himself then he is defending Fewell because he is the one who fucking picked him.
Listen to Carl Banks. He has said it over and over this team doesn't know how to blitz. Well who's fault is that. If they don't know how isn't it up to the DC to teach them how. I was on the fence with Tom but after this take I think it may be time to pull the plug.
The talent is not that that they should be playing so poorly. Bottom line. Tom's team is 11 up and 19 down in their last 30 games. Along with that are 6 shutouts and and a handful of awfully bad blowouts where they were not even competitive.
The Cowboys did not just come down and score. They did it with ease. It was comical how much time Romo had.
The d-line was completely dominated as if they were playing a team from a higher league. It is hard to pin that on coaching. More likely, these players just suck.
I could care less if Fewell is brought back or not. If it were up to me I would probably go in a different direction. It is clear though that the D needs to be blown up and whatever philosophy that is being used to select players for the Giants roster to play D has to be scrapped. It simply does not work.
- Jenkins - has been hurt for weeks now.
- Kiwi - The sad reality is that in his prime, he was an average player at best who is significantly past his prime now.
- JPP - Great athlete with limited pass rush moves. Do you know what you do with a guy like that? You move him around and free him up to let his athletic ability take over. Instead, we line him up and have him beat 1 or 2 people using his limited array of moves.
He's right about them. They're playing like dogshit and a lot of them suck. They deserve to be called out.
Everyone involved with this defense does. Fewell already lost his job so it's going to be on some of these guys to either play better or go find a practice squad to land on.

i could say on the offense too. Really stretch play after stretch play with the defense knifing through for negative yardage - untouched - that is coaching as much or more than talent. Again calling the same play that gets killed each time it is called is stubborn.
Coughlin already said that Moore needs to know his assignments if he wants to be more than a 3rd and long pass rusher. Where on the last drive was Dallas ever in 3rd and long. You can't give up on the run when DeMarco Murray is the running back and there are 3 minutes on the clock.
what you don't seem to understand arcarsenal is that Coughlin is accountable for the defense; he's involved with it; it's not simply a matter of firing fewell as coordinator and bringing in mangini; coughlin is still going to have sway and influence over the philosophy of the D and deployment of personnel. that scardey cat "prevent" defense with the ineffective veternas on the last drive was all coughlin.
Players werent getting there, fine, take them off the field and try someone else... Moore & Ayers in this case.
At least then he tried to do something instead of just watching Romo march them down the field
The more you talk the worse it is

Now Coughlin is calling the plays?
That's news to me.
