Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Sometimes I wonder if we're all watching the same game. Davis had a great game... not just good. And Rak had a few pressures and blocked the FG as well.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Now that this first game is over, I would like to see more consistency out of this team both on offense and defense. On offense, our o-line needs to improve and we need to get more out of our running game. We saw what happens when Rex has time and he is not under pressure. But we need to have a solid running game to open up our passing attack. I guess it was bad seeing TW get dominated by JPP, I hope he does better against average pass rushers.
In the defensive side of the ball, I hope we get better production out of Cofield than what we had during this game. I do think that a rotation of Neild and Cofield is something to look forward to and will help the defense big time. The Kerrigan/Orakpo combo is going to be sick. The big question mark continues to be the secondary. Landry needs to come in and play period. Doughty is a back up and there is a huge drop off when Landry is out. As someone said, he's a special teams guy and a back up. That's it.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Who the hell said that Davis had a just "good" game? I guess 100-yds from a TE doesn't impress many people.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Another example of media hatters
Rapid Reaction: Redskins 28, Giants 14 - NFC East Blog - ESPN In my mind, the Redskins were neck and neck with the Giants the first half and straight up dominated them in the second. This article is all about the Giants losing...the only reason I bring it up is b/c Graziano is actually pretty good.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
I like that Cofield has to peep over his shoulder a little bit. This is good.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
And I think it's safe to say the staff made the right decision by keeping Truck over Anthony Bryant.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Since my last post was negative, I'd like to add the positives from today:
Rex's performance was great, and most importantly throwing for two TDs in the red zone (which had been an issue with us before). I think Hightower did enough in the running game to open up the passing game. And when it counted, the o-line gave Rex time to throw. Davis was HUGE and I think that we should run two TE sets. Also Moss showed his typical reliability and both Armstrong and Gaffney made some huge catches. The defense was great, the turnover and score was a huge shift in the game, and the pressure on Manning was what I expected given the state of the Giants o-line. Also, the 4th down stop was huge and they were able to stop the G-men's running game when it counted. As far as special teams, it was disappointing to see Gano miss the FG. But ST did come up huge with the blocked field and I thought Rocca did a helluva job punting the ball. I see a lot of good things going for this team, and I hope that as the season progresses they are able to do even better things. The Giants were not their typical self, but a we had an opportunity and took it for the W.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Yeah, TW should have handled him. Pierre Paul is a beast but the knock on him is that he is just raw talent. Going up against polished pass rushers like Tuck, Osi, and Ware will be much tougher so Silverback needs to nut up quick.

Re: Giants-Redskins Gameday Thread
Yeah, I saw that when I re-read the article. The first time I read it I was so incensed that every paragraph began with 'The Giants' that I had to post it here. Visceral reaction lol.
