Protect the Duke

we wouldn't have to hear it.

So was "high and tight," but at least that one worked. I wish McAdoo woud drop this "Duke" thing from his vernacular, because we're not honoring Wellington by constantly dropping the damn football bearing his name. Just leave it alone, as a saying, and get your guys to freaking hang onto the football. Period.

doesn't take much to irritate some of you.
I don't even think Greg has bitched about this yet and everything irritates him.

never gets old

: )

.

him saying it the past few weeks in press conferences. Maybe he reads BBI...

I think they should drop the Duke in the GREEN ZONE

At least the Duke is new. But TC and now BM use this saying for what??? They both may as well use the brick wall.

heavy handed? hmmm. is that worse?


I must admit...i originally hated "green zone", but then i grew to like it, and now it's absence bothers me.

if the Austrian royal guard had done a better job of this.

But the fact that they talk about it while continuing to trot Larry Donnell onto the field is fucking ponderous to me.

but who gives a shit? If we were playing better no one would care. Its harmless and people generally use it as a reason to discredit McAdoo.

To be fair, playing better involves protecting the Duke better, so you'd hear about it less so naturally it would bother people less. :)

thank you.

STOP SAYING THAT!

Yeah, that protect the Duke crap is worse than you da man.

Make it stop.

Blitz the coach

Potential t-shirt idea

Will make a matching pair with Handley Free in 93'

IF they are so serious about protecting the Duke.

I'd think he should be cleared to practice next week... I hope

"Dukes" Rubbers to protect the Wood .

anyways the catch phrase is not working of course nothing
is working for our TE's these days ...

what they call it, as long as they stop turning it over.

Sunday-that Donnell fumble aside-was a start.

but it seems they have been improving in turnover differential slowly each game. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I see Eli at 6 interceptions and many of us have been on his case and that's good for a 3 way tie at 12th. Fumbles however are at 8 and that's good for 2nd in the league (Chargers have 11). The two together have them at the 3rd worst in the league. They seem to be drive killers though and come at the worst possible times.

The other thing I've been critical on is the penalty yards. Giants are currently 8th in the league in yards lost from penalties. I gotta be honest though, the offensive holding isn't as bad as I thought when viewed against the rest of the league. The Giants are lower than most on number of penalties but the yards lost is high.

I meant to put, "They seem to be drive killers though and come at the worst possible times." in the paragraph on penalties.

Honestly it works well in both paragraphs though.
