Official 2015 New York Giants Thread VOL: Odell Beckham > *

great Giants win, loved the defense, Eli played superbly and Jennings was off the charts. Props to the O-LINE. Lets do it again on Thursday
 
Randle missed a throw from Eli that bounced off his chest -_-

Great game from Eli again, nice to have the run game help him for a change.

Special teams was awful but they made plays in the second half.
 
Most complete football gm I've seen em play in 2 yrs. Except the early mistakes. I'll take it.
 
the early mistakes were so frustrating though, I was so angry. Such stupid mistakes. Glad they got through it
 
^ yea i thought it was going to be another week of ridiculous mistakes on the way to another L. idk if they'll keep it up throughout the season, but the Oline had another good game yesterday. I still have worries about the pass defense against a good offense with a legit starting QB, but we have shown 2 wks in a row an ability to move the ball fairly easily against decent defenses (AZ and Hou) at home. It'll be interesting to see how the line holds up vs Wash. They hit Foles a lot and completely shut down McCoy yesterday
 
Stevie Brown hasn't looked good at all. I've seen plenty of mistakes by him this year.

I think he got benched at one point, he had a very rough game.

The effort was good last week too, just the ridiculous mistakes and unforced turnovers. The seem to look better out there every week and when Eli is comfortable he makes good decisions. Must be 3 touchdowns left off the field the past two weeks due to the WR's not securing the ball.

Seems like a season in which Eli will have to carry the offense again, and special teams will have to play mistake free.

The cover two zone only works well when there is pressure up front, the 3 interceptions were not a coincidence with JPP creating havoc. Hopefully Beason returns this season.
 
Stevie Brown is also coming off a lost year with the ACL injury so still could be some rust there. And he only showed something one year so don't know if that was the exception or the rule as far as his pro game is going to go.
 
Just a brief breakdown of how the Giants overall handled JJ Watt

http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2...ve_player.html

Excerpt: "To watch J.J. Watt perform in person is incredible. He is the most athletic person for his size that I've seen live since LeBron James and he can lift up the front end of a Mack truck without hesitation.

But after the game last night, he left with just one sack and a handful of pressures. Slowing Watt down was exactly the sort of badge the Giants offensive line was looking for, especially after spending the first two weeks getting beaten up in the media for a pair of poor performances.

Last night, Justin Pugh said the plan was to run right at Watt and wear him down, which he felt the Giants did. Ben McAdoo's gameplan was brilliant and exhausting, but after watching the tape there were a few more intricacies that came to light.

Here's a quick breakdown of how the Giants stopped the league's best defensive player:

DID THEY REALLY RUN RIGHT AT HIM?

In the second half, absolutely. I counted two separate stretches of four run plays that targeted the defensive and and ended up going straight through his gap. At the beginning, though, the Giants did a nice job of feeling out how Watt was going to play them.

The first three running plays were all runs to the left side when Watt was lined up on the right over Justin Pugh.

One of the more interesting things I noticed was that Watt took himself out of plays at times. His upfield surge is so strong and quick, that there were at least three separate plays where the run was starting to break upfield while Watt was yards in the backfield trailing the play. If this was on purpose (sometimes offensive linemen will invite a rush) than it's another example of expert gameplanning. If not, the Giants were due to get lucky anyway.

WHO HANDLED HIM THE MOST?

Justin Pugh, and it wasn't even close. Watt was on the field for 67 defensive snaps on Sunday. Here's the breakdown:

Pugh: 48%
Walton: 7%
Jerry: 13%
Beatty: 13%
Richburg: 12%
Donnell: 7%" Read more..
