Yesterday, he had no quarterback for 5+ minutes and, in the past, our coaches wouldn’t have a clue as to what to do. He pulled something out and made it work, dialing up the right plays to keep the clock running when everyone knew they weren’t passing the ball. Excellent job to close the game.
I am not sure if you guys remember the announcer saying that the WR away from the boot should have dragged across the field to give Jones another option. While that is technically true, think about what the Giants are trying to accomplish. They want to give Jones a run pass option. The more receivers you bring over, the more defenders come over, the less room there is to run. I really think the Giantz kept the WR running a vertical to occupy both the corner and safety on the opposite side of the field so that Jones has more room to run if need be. Just because there are traditional ways of doing things doesn't mean it is what is best for us right now. We had a simple game plan and it was executed perfectly. I also like that this staff will stick with something if it keeps working.

Never seemed to see this in the past decade +...
Belicheck-esque.
Play good defense and special teams.
Comes to crunch time and we gotta make a play, make a play.
Like old school Giants football in a way.
Don't expect us to hang with the big boys but could be fun to watch at least unless the injuries continue.
With Wink, Kafka and Daboll we are in great hands!!!
You can see they're getting the most out of a limited group.
We don't have the horses to compete with the heavyweights right now, we're short on talent, but once we get more of those players, this should be a really good team.
