Playcalling

i agree with what you said, you can't just start over with a new playbook, but you can add little wrinkles everyweek. It looks like all we need in these last four losses is one big play. execution is key, case in point, ladell betts missing that block on mr. reed. we are a team but indivuals need to step up and earn there keep.

i disagree with SUNRA, tiki's success isn't because tiki is super awesome, its cause NY has a PASSING GAME that works... portis sucks cause brunell sucks so he has to run against a stacked deck, tiki doesn't, and hasn't had to for most of the year.

I know it's hard to give credit where credit is due, but Tiki is leading the league in rushing. That's why I mentioned him. Tiki has literally carried the Giants on his back. His rushing alone has accounted for half of the Giants offensive yards so far. Tim Carter was their best receiver this year and they lost him for the season. Let's see how well their passing game is with old ass Hillard and Toomer.

toomer got 1000 yards last year, he's not that bad, and looks like warner and shockey can make big plays too... thing is that offense has balance, and its easier to run past 4-6 people at the line than breaking past 9 defenders... tiki HAS had an awesome year though, no doubt.

It sounds like what goes around comes around. Whne it was Martyball everyone cried about being too conservative on O. Then OBC blew into town and everyone complained that the O was too wide open & free-wheelin'. Sounds like we are back to the Martyball complaints again.

The biggest problem with this team is that they are not that good. They have looked awesome on paper for about the last 3 seasons but when they hit the field they stink. What I think happened is that Snider/Gibbs way underestimated how bad these guys really are. Gibbs appeared to be the missing puzzle piece but as it turns out there are a lot of mismatched pieces in the puzzle box.

I feel we have not run enough! Quick traps, faster developing running plays, quick screens, all would help get Portis free.

I'm Old School! The Run still sets up the pass! Mix the faster developing runs in with a decent passing game, and we turn it around!

I have alway's felt it was easier to open up the run with the pass, regardless, you need one to do the other, and we are doing neither.
