How bad is our defense?

hurrykaine · 10-08-2006, 04:18 PM

Started this thread in anticipation of a loss.

How many punts did the Giants have? Zero until the 4th quarter.

Its as though we have only two smart players on D - Taylor and Washington. The line sucks, the secondary sucks. Springs' absence is not an excuse for this pi$$ poor display.

Our offense is flaky too. It sucks right about now.

FRPLG · 10-08-2006, 05:00 PM

Our D is bad right now. As in it is bad enough that we will not be able to win games consistently with the D like this. Williams needs to figure something out.

Some of our big dollar pick ups on Defense are killing us right now.

1) Andre Carter has been a huge waste salary cap space. I have held back to see what he can do before critizing him. This is week five and he has done nothing. Today he was burned for some big runs (sweeps) around his end. He is getting manhandled in the running game. He is currently not a full time starter. I always said since we got Carter we should platoon him, Renaldo Wynn on run downs and Carter on pass plays. Wynn is a great run stopping DE and coach Williams is not paying him enough. .

2) We over paid for Archuleta. Plain and simple.

3) Because we have so much cap space tied up on players that are not producing (Carter, Arch, Randle El and Lloyd) we had no cap space left to sign an elite CB and a coverage SS which what we most needed.

hey hey, ho ho, vinny c has got to go. the lack of talent is on the FO. GW can share the blame if he helped pick his players. paying big for non-producers like arch and carter and lloyd has kinda sorta backfired horribly. maybe next time we should take guys from teams that aren't 30th in defense instead of paying the guys they don't even want to keep.

without springs or some weird blockbuster midseason deal, i don't see the defenses getting much better. and if it can't improve, there's no playoffs. better hope springs isn't done for the year :/.

illdefined · 10-08-2006, 05:06 PM

this was what i was most afraid of.

even before pre-season, i was worried when i saw us shed so so many stalwart defensive backs and only get Archuleta in the off-season. i always said our defense hinged on 31 year old, nagging injury prone, Springs and that that wasn't a good position to be in.

dall-assblows · 10-08-2006, 05:09 PM

our defense is so bad that my dead great-great-great-great grandma could cover burress better than the whole redskins secondary!

also how bad were dick stockton and that other guy, they seemed really bias toward the giants. terrible game all around!

they were like afraid to put pressure on eli "silver spoon" manning. ihate the giants more than the cowboys now! not even kidding

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-08-2006, 05:24 PM

The defense was awful. We couldn't stop the run. We couldn't stop the pass. We couldn't hit the quarterback. We couldn't tackle the ball carriers. We couldn't stop them on 3rd down.

Carlos Rogers is shaping up to be nickel-back. Certainly wasn't worth the 9th overall pick when Merriman, Ware, etc. were on the board. Archuleta was overpaid. Our secondary is just flat out awful and our defensive line is as bad.

These guys better turn things around fast. A 2-3 start can be overcome, but a 0-2 divisional record is a recipe for disaster, especially in this division.

WTF!! You make us all proud. Anticipation?....
Srry..part of the vent process. Attack the 1s you love 1st...

Alvin#40 · 10-08-2006, 05:56 PM

Check my previous posts. I am pleased(well not at the moment) that we are 2-3. Was my preseason prediction, 5 weeks, to get this offense rolling. Hehe...maybe a different outcome week 4, but i fully expected to lose to Dallas and G-men away...well maybe not G-men as they in disaray, and not score 3 points. Anyway, we suck in NY bottom line. Regroup, Tenn. is in trouble!!!! I believe we are in a great position right now. Yes i know, cellar, but home games are home games. We win our home games vs East and we on top. I'm just glad we have gotten ssomething going at all this year already with this complex Offense. hang in there guys. The show is about to START soon.

Im bummed out about how they played against the G-men but your optomism helps me to remember the season isnt over.

Big C · 10-08-2006, 05:59 PM

they converted every 3rd down they needed to, and it was infuriating. no pressure on the qb, and it looks like we are playing with no corners because there is never any coverage. what the fuk is going on? this inconsistancy in our team is driving me crazy

hurrykaine · 10-08-2006, 06:25 PM

I know the offense was bad (attributable to poor offensive line play), but when you surrender 7-8 min long TD drives, and can't force a punt, its on the defense.

I'm not yet ready to throw in the towel for the season until the Dallas game. If we lose to Dallas, that's 0-3 in the division, and 0-4 in the conference, which sadly means no playoffs.

The D has regressed every season since 2004. In 2004, we were exceptional. In 2005, we were good (and finished the season strong). In 2006, we have been plain bad. As well as Lemar Marshall has played for us, I think letting Pierce go was a big mistake. Think of what the linebacking corps would've been with Washington, Pierce and Marshall.

A win against Tennessee at home, but this secondary will be eaten alive in Indy. 3-4 going into week 8 is not bad at all, but after that, we need to clean out everybody in the division to have a shot of making the playoffs.

itvnetop · 10-08-2006, 06:30 PM

i honestly think GW's game plan wasn't too bad... i know everyone wants pressure all the time, but Manning is extremely good under pressure. i think the secondary would have been even more exposed today had the safeties and backers blitzed. the score would have been worse than it was.

Score would have been worse had the Giants needed a reason to score or felt threatened by us at all. Instead, they kept it simple and within their element of comfortability, took no risk, and stayed in the game and ahead.

Tackling today was enough to today to strip any hidden pride harbored in the defense to be vanished for the remaining of the year.

I would feel better if the team issued a statement when reality hits that playoffs and beyond arent happening this year. Instead they lose and Fuck it up and let their actions do the talking.

I am giving up, my Sundays are gonna be better spent not watching these games.
