Thank goodness for Harris and Gamble

[dksmith17]

From what I have read on this forum... I think that Harris's hit on Jacobs is largely being downplayed. That was a career defining hit. And if it wasn't already so.. WRs will think twice about going across the middle in front of that guy and even elite bruising RBs will think twice about hitting him head on.

If it was on 3rd down, maybe. Watching them stroll in on the next play pretty much negates everything.

[Mr. Scot]

CB's have been victims of a scheme that allows the 4 yard completion on purpose.

...and an anemic interior pass rush that allows opposing QBs to step up in the pocket.

i thought they did get some pressure on manning at times. brayton and pep got a sack i think

You read my keyboard... that was the hardest hit he has taken all season...... I watched every Giants Game cant remember him getting stopped like that

I think we got 3 sacks...I predicted 4, so I was one off. We did get pressure on Eli, but they ran the ball so well that it didn't matter.

Interior pass rush > Exterior Pass Rush

When we are having to play guys off of the PS on the DL, we're in trouble.

[goodoleboy]

Agreed. These guys are physical corners and are forced to play this soft zone bullsh*t 75% of the time.

Thats going to change in the playoffs when they let ticky tack PI calls go. Secondary play last night would have been flagged heavily mid season.

Outside rush can be blunted by forcing the ends to go wide (either with a good tackle or an extra blocker) and having the QB step up in the pocket.

If you can't get an interior rush with your tackles, sometimes line stunts can compensate (didn't look like we pulled all that many).

UHHHH....I thought Gamble did horrible last night... On one of the first big plays for the Giants. Eli escaped pressure and heaved it up...Gamble was playing the receiver not the ball; when the receiver jumped Gamble slowed down and looked around like a deer in headlights. I was like AT LEAST PLAY THE F***IN' RECEIVERS HANDS!!! (try to make it a difficult catch)

[ShutDwn]

catching a pass in front of a corner's zone doesn't constitute beating the corner. Nobody on that team could beat Gamble in man consistently, and not deep. Lucas and Marshall are also good in man, but for some reason we don't let them loose.

I wish we would have taken the leash off and thrown some more six man rushes at them. We don't even run blitz.

I understand what Fox wants to do, but I don't think it works all the time because we don't have the personnel. Zone only works if you have pressure, or you are mixing it with man. Our defensive line needs to be the same as it was in 03 for this style to really be dominant.

However, I sort of wonder if we reserved some of the playcalling in case of another meeting. Some of you will shoot this down, but I wouldn't be so quick to say that it couldn't have happened.

[Seamonk]

Gamble played f*cking terrible last night....were we watching the same game?

Terrible? He allowed a couple catches, but terrible? Anytime Jacobs ran to the outside he got OFF his block and made a tackle.
