Random thoughts following the BEAT-DOWN of the Giants...

- whatever play or scheme designed for our defensive backs to play fifteen to twenty yards off the L.O.S. needs to be eliminated immediately. Manning changed the play to a quick screen or slant almost every time he saw that coverage on the field. Strangely though, not to Greer's side.

That's part of GW's scheme to keep everything in front of the D and not give up quick points. He figures Brees can outscore the other team, so we just have to make them work for their points, giving up the short stuff underneath but not the big play and, hopefully, forcing a mistake along the way (like a turnover). We can get away with that in games against teams like the Giants, who have very little D, but will it work in the playoffs? I guess we'll see.
