Re: Defensive Review: Giants
We only had 10 offensive possessions, and in that, 2 turnovers is certainly not good, but the Giants only had EIGHT offensive possessions, and two ended in turnovers, one in a turnover on downs, with four scoring drives and a single punt. Turning the ball over on 25% of drives is completely inexcusable. Even 20% (for us) was pretty bad.

Re: Defensive Review: Giants
I saw somewhere that our defense had the highest percentage of 3 and outs in the NFL, or something like that. Just thought I would throw that in there

I think: Fitzpatrick, Anderson, Hasselbeck, and...I want to say Bulger but that might not be right. If we can keep getting ~2 turnovers a game, I think we'll be fine in the long run. If this game ends up being an anomaly turnover-wise, we'll probably struggle all year.

Our primitive defensive scheme is clearly a function of our nickname.

Re: Defensive Review: Giants
Do you think a lot of the criticism towards Blache could also be due to higher expectations of the defense at this point than the offense? Also, do you think he has the players he wants? I mean he has talented players, but are they the guys he wants for the most part?

The Washington Robins -Robins can fly -Robins are red, so we could even be the Red Robins -Robins often symbolize the start of spring, and everyone is happy at the first signs of spring -Robin, as in Batman and Robin, defenders of justice. Everyone likes when justice is defended -Robin, as in Robin Leach of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, a staple of the 1980s. 1980s=Redskins dominance -Robin, as in Robin Wright Penn, star of The Princess Bride. Hilarious movie, and who doesn't like to laugh?

No doubt the pressure is greater with the addition of high profile players and we will have to wait and see how this defense stacks up to previous years, but anyone can see how expectations are high. Still it is amazing that only in football can you have forty or fifty years of success and accomplishment and be a charlatan after a week one loss to a pretty good football team. Or maybe these coaches have been fooling all these GM's and owners into thinking they actually know something about offense or defense. |
