Fake punt coming this weekend?

JFIB : 12/19/2014 10:14 am
From the Rams? Jeff Fischer is a big fan of the fake punt and the Rams have done it three times already this year. It will be interesting to see if they try it and if it's successful, knowing the high probability they will try it if the distance and circumstance make it appealing for Fischer. Could be a good test to see if Quinn has our troops ready for it or not.
And if they do try it and it is successful

to wipe his ass after taking a shit.
Rocky. You are totally wrong about Quinn.

Quinn absolutely knows how to wipe his ass after a shit. I know this for a fact because that is the Giants' main requirement for hiring a Special Teams Coach. ;-)
For a second I thought you meant the Giants doing it

I would have said, only if Bill Parcells was back as coach. Too out of the box for Coughlin.
DeOssie's a scremer

I have a feeling the Giants are going to run a fake punt on Sunday. Corey Washington will make his long awaited debut on special teams and proceed to make a 60 yard TD catch from Weatherford.

Tom will have no choice but to play Washington on offense since he proved he has value on special teams.

Then he will go on to finish out the last game of the season against Philly with a Victor Cruz type of performance that will put him on the map just like Cruz did.
As I recall

Jeff Feagles ran from punt formation against the Eagles in Tom Coughlin's first game as Giants HC. You guys kill me. You're so witty. Like, for example, the on-sides kick recovery last week at the start of the 2nd half. Quinn shit his pants on that one. When Beckham attempted the option pass, BBI scoffed about Coughlin's alleged conservative nature. Yes I see 50 option passes every week. The most common option pass is the throw back to the quarterback , which is of course ideal for Eli. And irony is mentioning Bill Parcells & strong special teams' play. Romeo Crennel anyone? Were you around for those years?

You mean where they were kicking from the Washington 35? Anyone with a brain and a pulse would have known to do that.
The Giants' special teams have been better this year,

despite some bad plays. Place kicking has been very reliable. Kick coverage has been good. They still get a lot of punts down inside the 20 or even the 10 -- the D just often fails to take advantage of that field position. We even saw a successful onside kick.

The Giants have been terrible in some phases of offense and defense this year -- Quinn's units have been pretty consistent and very solid by comparison.

It's been beaten to death this week in the media.

If we get burned by a fake punt, Quinn should get fired on the spot.
He'll be here as long as Coughlin is here

Yeah,

it was Quinn's fault that Demps fumbled or Brown missed the fg....

Your right...even Washington, and yet it still worked..
The fact that our kick worked was a tribute both to the stupidity

of Washington's players and coaches, and to Quinn's well-designed play.

Not only did Brown kick it preemptively with a spin-around move, but just before he did so, our guys on the wide side of the field ran around wildly to draw attention away from the short side.

sweet revenge from Fassel's kid to get back at the Giants canning his dad over 10 years ago.
How about if ODB lines up for a "fake" as the punter  
mattlawson : 12/19/2014 3:22 pm : link
And actually punts it down inside the 10. A fake - fake punt.
