Random thoughts following the BEAT-DOWN of the Giants... (2 Viewers)

-Meachem is a ghost

-We can't tackle (Pat Robinson)

-Our O line is better since replacing a couple of players

Fixed it for you.

I wish people would stop getting on Robinson. He's had two forgettable games this year. He's been 10x better than Porter so give the guy a break.

I saw a hungry team out there with a certain look in their eyes. I believe they are willing to make every sacrifice to keep winning. The team that's willing to take the most pain is usually the winner.

Our defense is not real talented, but they play harder and harder as the game wears on, which is designed to break their opponents. Giants got the 12 mile stare early, so we didn't get to see it last night.

Dunbar was laying the wood out there last night.

I'm impressed with his PRob's tackling. He wraps up most of the time and makes violent tackles.

Good list, DWD. I was wondering about Tez too. I guess GW has decided he's not ready for prime time this season.

- referee throwing a flag on Will Smith for "roughing the passer" was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in my life.

- Our offensive line is godly when they play and work together. The label our guards have acquired -- best tandem in the league -- really showed up last night.

- 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.

Devrey had a good game too. all our skill players looked great (except Meachem)

-I wish she would text me back

Patrick Robinson was good in college because of his raw talent, not because of skill. You can't depend on athletic ability alone in the NFL because everyone is athletic. I wish we would not have picked him up!

-Meachem is a ghost

No he's not. He was running every route hard, causing the DBs to cover him seriously, opening up underneath routes for Graham. Watch the broadcast again.

The defense seems to have gelled finally. They're not great but the confusion is mostly gone and people are making the plays they should be making. Our play calls on the other hand still need some tweaking. It's not that we're blitzing too much, it's that we're blitzing incorrectly. We're sending predictable blitzes that are being easily handled by the O-Line calls. What we need to start doing is showing blitz, backing out into coverage and sending 1 blitzer on a slight delay up the middle.

They put him that far off the ball cause he's not good.

The Mod edit removed a key part of my post.

Ramon Humber actually started the game for the Saints defense last night... I don't know if we opened in the 3-4 or what, but he made the 1st tackle of the game for us. Did he start at WILL over Casillas?

Also, where the heck did this guy come from? I know he's been on and off the team for a couple of seasons now, but how did he all of the sudden move into a starting (or at least contributing meaningful snaps) role in our defense?

He's built like a WILL, but the guy has been a STer during his entire career... What does his increased role on the defense mean?

Are they viewing Casillas as a 1-trick pony? Has Humber really flashed in practice?

...and what the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks is going on with Martez Wilson?
