I think one of Spags' greatest strengths is his work with the secondary, even if he is no longer a Secondary coach..His work in Philly and Baltimore with their Secondaries would seem to bear that out..
it was too snarky and cute with the jokes, but the review was very well done.
Kudos Joey.
FWIW, I thought Kerry Wynn played pretty damned well last game. Would love it if the Giants got that performance out of him every game.
Thanks chop, I write how I talk and yeah it gets that way but I do try to get some good info in there. I struggle with it, I'm a natural born wise ass, but I'm glad you could enjoy the information.
Thank you Joey not only for the entertainment value, but your insightful look at things some of us may have missed. I look forward to your reviews every week.
I do think you found the right balance on this one -- I guess it helps that it was a win instead of another loss -- but I for one appreciate it when you talk football and lay the ground work for it with your wise-assi-ness.
great breakdown of the run play. happy to hear that richburg had a solid game as I didn't focus much on the line during the game. Kennard's stoutness vs the run is very promising.
just before snap moving from outside to inside and then having redskins run sweep around him after he got caught inside? I was thinking he must have saw something pre-snap to have him move, but I don't remember and help outside.
I have to be fair and say I enjoyed reading your review this week. I agree about the TE plays on 3rd down although it did seem like maybe Eli checked into it 1 of the 2 times. Hopefully that is a play that Cruz runs instead starting next week. I was so excited to have Beason back, especially against a team that is so physical but his name was basically never called. Buffalo will be tough but glad we are getting healthier. Thanks for review. (It helps when they win)
I agree that we need to give Darkwa a shot at serious playing time. We don't know that he's our best running back, but he may be and it's time to find out. It's not as if anyone else is doing the job with enough consistency.
Our defense has been better than I expected before the season, although I wasn't expecting very much. Kennard and Wynn have become solid players for us and Landon Collins was a very good draft pick. With a couple of good acquisitions in the off-season, we could have a good defense again.
As Joey said....very small sample size...but we've gone from 30th in run defense to 2nd.
Unfortunately, we went from 18th to dead last in pass defense from last year. Sorry to be the Debbie Downer.
2nd. to last in passing defense is the Bills so we have an opportunity to change that next game. We will need to beat the Bills through the air. I hope Coughlin does not force the 50/50 balance of run and pass. I would be surprised if we could get a run game going against them.
I am happy to see that I was not being too negative in wondering why the hell the Giants throw the 2 yard pass on 3rd and 5 or longer. It always baffles me particularly when it is such a quick pass to a slow tight end and the other team is playing close to the line of scrimmage. Otherwise very strong game for Eli and the receivers, time to sit Donnell at least until he can concentrate enough on catching the ball and agree that it might be time to try Darkwa as an RB and to play Vereen more when it is not just an obvious passing down.
since the Giants won. If the Giants lose next week, there will be people in here blaming the reviewer for not being all rainbows and sunshine, haha. Babies.
Do you this professionally somewhere? That's about as complete a breakdown as you can get. I love the critique of Devon Kennard. I still scratch my head at the fact he wasn't selected until the fifth round in last year's draft.
Reviews are always better after a W. Very informative too. I agree that Darkwa should get some burn. Jennings had a big time hustle play with that block on specials, but I am very unimpressed with him as an RB. Did he always look this slow?
These are the reviews I love. I learn something and get some laughs!
Kudos Joey.

But based on last year, its spot on.
Think the posts from the guys last week, made you more, matter-of-fact this week.....It was going to hard to top last week's, anyways....
Agree on those two 3rd down passes to the TE's....definitely head scratchers.....
As for showing Fewell, wish they showed him smiling again, when Randle caught the TD....
Love the Fewell cracks too. Howard Cross actually called him out on the radio pregame on Thursday night
You're right....I thought we might be going through TC's pockets for loose change when I saw how much time Cousins was getting.
Wynn-Kennard-Collins-Hankins...starting to gather a group of guys that can put a charge into the crowd and the sideline with a great play.

WE NEED MORE PASS RUSH!
lol
Bad - Defense still can't get off the field on third down.
Ugly - Donnell is a chucklehead 1-2 times a game.
Spagnuolo has Selvie, Collins, Meriwhether, Casillas, Thomas, Unga so other than half dozen players, Joey is right.
Good review.
