What do they do?

Come out like they're going to hard count and then punt if the Eagles don't jump, then Eli steps back into shotgun, they pass it and Cruz takes it down to about the Eagles' 5 yard line.

Coughlin is a defensive minded guy and has won two Super Bowls. Food for thought.

(Then Eli throws a pick to start the 4th, but the point remains, lol.)

Giants also:

Have won x2 Super Bowls, allowing for a little more freedom if that play doesn't work.

Have a dominant defensive line that Coughlin believes in, in case that doesn't work.

Has two-three above-average to very good wide receivers that can be a nightmare for almost any defensive backfield in the NFL.

Have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

There is a reason that they won the Super Bowl last year. They're a fuging good team.

And they make decisions that most teams don't have the guts to.

Coughlin was always an offensive coach before he became a head coach. Receivers, QB, and OC.

My fault then, but regardless, his teams weren't renowned for their offenses. I was only 12 when he became the coach of the Jaguars, so I wasn't aware of his background.

These Giants teams he's coached have always been known for their defenses as well up until the last year or so. The point is still valid.

Completely different situation. Giants were down. They were also past midfield.

Panthers were up. We were just about on midfield IIRC. Falcons only needed 3 points to win.

Not saying we shouldn't have gone for it. I guess we underestimated our defenses suckiness. But I doubt Coughlin goes for it if he was in Rivera's shoes. Situations really aren't comparable.

Do you remember the Jags of the late 90s with Brunell? They were not shabby.

Yeah, with Jimmy Smith, McCardell, and Stewart/Taylor at RB.

Good teams.

I knew he came from the Parcells coaching tree though, and his teams always seemed on the conservative side strategy-wise, so I always assumed he was defensively oriented.

You learn something new everyday, lol.

      So what's the plan with Moton?

      With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling.
