Gamble and Marshall...step into my office

[ChucktownK]

The rookies are showing you guys up!

Oh, I forgot you guys suck you spaghetti-armed clowns. Carry on...

[Mr. Scot]

Between the two, Marshall was worse. Gamble wasn't that bad, but wasn't great either.

Gotta give them some slack. Giants have an outstanding set of receivers. Could argue they have the best trio of receivers in the league. I knew we would struggle defending all of them.

They did make some serious coverage mistakes though, but I think that's just rust they'll be able to shake off as the season goes on.

[ChucktownK]

Gamble is the worst open-field tackler in the history of spaghetti. He throws his body backwards in hopes of stopping them or tripping them with his back...backles if you will. When does try to tackle, hims too weak.

The Giants receivers? :nonod:

They're middle of the pack right now. Their Steve Smith is good. The rest aren't that special.

We made them look better than they are, today.

Yes. Manningham, Nicks, and Smith each accounted for nearly 3k yards in 2009.

I didn't say they were all elite, but together they make a pretty good trio.

I think that has more to do with this guy.

He's not his brother, but he's not bad either.

Smith is good. Nicks is getting better but still raw. Manningham? Not a big fan.

Like I said, we made them look better than I believe they really are.

[Future of the Funchise]

Or maybe they made us look worse than we really are?

[CarolinaBlue34]

Gamble played like a pus, acted like he didn't wanna hit anyone.

[Snake]

They played bad but the rain and wet turf helped the giants out.

[Carolina Mike]

I like Gamble BUT!

After watching the game again I took some notes JUST on Gamble. He did not play too bad MOST of the game, HOWEVER that #20 was seen sliding around on the ground a few glaring times all during a short window of GAME TIME.

1) 3rd quarter 03:29 when #82 Manningham stood there flat footed while he dove at his feet behind #82.

2) 3rd quarter 03:02 when he was WAY out of position on #82 Manningham from over commenting to the inside and then seemed to just wait for #30 Godfrey to hit the guy.

NOTE these happened to be BACK to BACK plays! Maybe he was gassed??

3) 4th quarter 11:44 when #44 Bradshaw walk right bye him for a score.

I will say it looked like #30 Godfrey was having to pick up some of the slack today (at least during this part of the game). I bet he #30 is really sore after all that running to help someone out of position or when they were failing to make the hit and stop someone.

[Carolina Fan]

Marshall got burned so much today, but i think godfrey did worse then gamble did.

[Carolina Mike]

Another time I just found!

4th quarter 06:14 #27 Jacobs running right #20 COMPLETELY DIVES for the turf before #39 FB Hedgecock gets close to him!!! REALLY I had to watch it four times to make sure I was right about this one. He did not even TRY to HIT #39!!! I sure hope the DC Ron Meeks sees it!!

Between the two, Marshall was worse. Gamble wasn't that bad, but wasn't great either.

In my mind, both were equally bad today. Marshall got caught gambling without the right help over the top while Gamble flat out let his man get behind him without safety coverage. Moreover, I can't tell that there was a play in front of him to split his attention. He's supposed to be our shutdown guy and he was getting toasted all day.

Maybe he is used to being able to make the cuts on turf that isn't wet, but I lay at least 10 points at his feet today. Our front 7 did too good to have this mess kill us on what is supposed to be a strength of our D.

The other was the 2nd half breakdown of our OLine... but that's another discussion entirely.
