This isn't baseball but, what happened to the changeup? I guess I was wrong when I hinted that the 'Skins hadn't showed much of the offensive playbook. I understand that we're all about protecting the quarterback first but, the Giants figured out pretty quickly that we were limited to just a few formations and anyone sent in motion wasn't a potential down the field threat. Besides the pass to Sellers and the TD throw to Cooley, the only other 'surprise' play was on 3rd and 23 and we gave it to Portis on the draw. Charles Mann (radio show) hinted that Portis isn't a RB suited for the running play(s) coined by Gibbs' offense. And I somewhat agree. But you would think we would implement some of 'Denver's plays' in which Portis had so much success. Questions. Are the WRs lined up 'tight' too often? Why not motion Cooley or Portis or both as wideouts more often? This can easily be done without having mutiple WR sets and without abandoning the running game.
The reason we lost the game is an obvious one. And I like to use an analogy here. It's like tennis. You have forced turnovers and unforced turnovers. There were some great hustle plays made by the Giants' defense. And then there were 'gifts'. Ramsey would've been dressed for the occasion wearing a Santa suit. Ax this bum before he loses any more trade value!
