Jim Caldwell on Giants' offense…They're pretty explosive

Jim in Tampa : 9/14/2017 12:38 pm
Yes, that’s an actual quote (via Twitter) from the Lions HC.

I know coaches at every level try to talk up their next opponent and their players, but you have to wonder what game film Caldwell has been watching and how he can say that with a straight face.

7 games in a row under 20 points does not equal explosive.

Hopefully they break 20 on Monday.

It's coachspeak - literally nothing to see here.

He knows this team is struggling mightily offensively right now, he's not going to say that.
He's clearly referring to Odell Beckham.

Beckham is explosive, the Giants offense is not.
There is some bluster  
Mike in NY : 9/14/2017 12:41 pm : link
But the Giants offense is capable of putting up yardage but not necessarily points due to inability in goal to go situations to convert. Also, some of the low scoring was by design because the Giants realized that they needed to chew clock rather than getting into a shootout with their opponents. Giants do have a lot of weapons if they have the time/scheme to use them.
What's he supposed to say?  
jcn56 : 9/14/2017 12:41 pm : link
Granted, he could be less complimentary - but it's not like he can be honest about the offense. If anything he's telling his guys not to take them too lightly.
I'm sure he is referring

to how we can score on 1 play if we can get OBJ the ball.
Offense is struggling  
Biteymax22 : 9/14/2017 12:42 pm : link
but OBJ can break one for a TD anytime he touches the ball.

By that assessment they're explosive. I'm sure he's still far more concerned with trying to score against our D.
was he smoking a blunt  
SHO'NUFF : 9/14/2017 12:53 pm : link
and sippin' on some Henny when he said that?
Diarhea can be explosive  
SLIM_ : 9/14/2017 12:57 pm : link
Our offense resembles diarrhea so I think the quote is accurate.

They're explosive. I mean, we put on some tape of their offense yesterday and the whole defensive staff just blew up laughing.
The Giants Offense is Explosive  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/14/2017 1:01 pm : link
BBI'ers have been exploding and imploding because of it all week
must be watching game film from 2015  
Rick in Dallas : 9/14/2017 1:07 pm : link
this current offense sucks
when this guy talks, people listen  
Heisenberg : 9/14/2017 1:10 pm : link
He was watching Junior Floyd  
Reb8thVA : 9/14/2017 1:11 pm : link
and the rest of the "Little Giants."
Then they should detonate it.  
Britt in VA : 9/14/2017 1:12 pm : link
.
he probably meant  
Tom from LI : 9/14/2017 1:25 pm : link
implosive.
I think he meant as in a backfire.  
TC : 9/14/2017 1:36 pm : link
But I really want to see what happens on Monday, if the Giants O has anything in it, Monday should show it. If I were a Giants offensive player I'd be humiliated and embarrassed by our play last Sunday night and want to do something about it. If they try, and can't, this will likely be a very long season despite being over rather quickly.
He is talking about OBJ highlights  
averagejoe : 9/14/2017 2:14 pm : link
which is really the only time the Giants score now.

There is nothing else to worry about.
I think he means they need to be blown up.  
Boy Cord : 9/14/2017 2:15 pm : link
Like, start from scratch on the OL.
Yep  
Bluesbreaker : 9/14/2017 2:44 pm : link
we blew up Sunday night ...
I think he meant...
