BringBackFergy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So we model our defense after the Giants (big pass rushers, rush the QB, pressures, sacks, etc) but we have a mediocre linebacking crew and a young secondary (with the exception of Wilson). If Tony Romo can pick that defense apart with quick slant routes and a solid running game from Murray and a fill-in O-line, are we looking at a similar fate this season?? I understand Tebow may not have the timing to execute a quick slant route to a receiver, but I'm sure Sanchez can....if our pass rush is super charged, it means nothing if they can throw 5-10 yd quick slants and gain first downs at will. Our secondary and linebackers better be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, maybe the Giants defenses was tired this game, they spent the entire offseason carrying around THE !@#$ING LOMBARDI TROPHY! Seriously dude, you need to think this stuff out better before you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI Bills Fan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Romo did most of his damage after one of the Giants starting corners left the game with an injury. And I'll take our corners over the Giants corners any day all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The Giants should probably forfeit the rest of the year. Apparently their D is going to play like this every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The score was 7-3 in the half. Romo was under constant pressure and threw an INT. The Giants beat the Patriots--twice--in the Superbowl. What lost the game was the Giants O, not its D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 You for real? A team that has won the super bowl twice since 2007 and you think we should switch defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Wow, talk about ganging up on the OP. I think he brings up valid points, and we saw the concerns with this defense with the plays that Skins & Vikings ran in preseason. There was nothing in the OP that suggests that the plan to model our D after the Gints is wrong. He correctly points out that our LBs & safeties better be ready, because the midfield is a serious concern for our defense and is the weakest link right now.

Ramius Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yes. Its the Giants defense's fault the offense couldn't score a TD after being given the ball on the Dallas 2 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no pessimist....just a season ticket holder that is looking forward to a great defensive line and, from what I've seen in preseason, a midlevel linebacking crew and CB's who are either untested (Gilmore), inconsistent (Williams, McKelvin) or injury prone (McGee). How many times I've seen those quick slant routes and screens turn into 10 yd gains because of poor tackling or overpursuit. Just sayin that you can have the best pass rush in the game, but if a QB is gonna take a 3 step drop and dump it off on a screen or a 5-10 yd hot route, we'll be watching the chains move. Don't get me wrong, I love our team and love the acquisitions we made...but head coaches (Rex, Bellicheat, Harbaugh, etc) are going to implement the Cowgirls game plan against us to address a pass rush like ours...just want our LB's and CB's to be ready (I'm sure they are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 No worries, the Bills young corners and weak LBs will flip the switch and out "intense" the opposition all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalpika Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I rarely ever post anything on here but this post is just too ridiculous.... Do you recall the Giants winning the superbowl last year? Based on two big pass plays where a 5th string CB blew coverage you come up with a question on whether it is a good idea to model our defense after one that has successfully beat the ass of the team that wins our division every year??

The Giants' DB's are an injury disaster. I don't think anyone is suggesting we break all our CB's to match them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 There's a reason the Giants went 9-7 last year. They had good, sustained pressure on Romo most of the night. Gotta give credit to Romo for getting out of it, moving around, extending plays, and making something happen. While there are similarities in the fronts, there are more differences in the schemes than meet the eye most of the time. I'm not ready to say that Wanny has copied the Giants' defense. Not by a long shot. Pressuring the QB with a dominant D line is nothing new and every team in the league seeks to copy that aspect of a successful defense. GO BILLS!!!
