they telegraph the play — they dont get in.

if you stay creative and deceive a bit then its not so easy.

the cowboys often fake 2 or 3 times before they run a play, they went 100% from the goaline because they understood the importance of faking.

If you remember, the giants went ZERO for 5 — that a big fat goose egg. Why? They simply tried to out-execute the other team and telegraphed the play call.

this week execution was better and there was better play calling in the red zone, using the tight end and such.

keep that up and the Giants will be fine

As far as my comments about the run i guess I was addressing the many posts on here that the run game has declined. Even if the giants want to become a more well rounded team and pass more, that doesnt explain why jacobs cant punch it in on X and goal from the 3 or closer. Atlanta did it to us last week with ease. You have to attribute that to either stagnant play calling or poor lanes by the line. I think its both. Fake the run to Jacobs and pass = touchdown…Draw by Bradshaw = TD….using boss in the endzone = 2 TD. The proof is in the pudding my friends.

If the Giants stay creative in the redzone it will open up the run.

Until then Im perfectly content watching teams stack against the run and have Eli hit manningham, smith, and nicks for yards.

and one of the reasons is to be a complete team, if the defenses that prep for the Giants stop stacking the box all the time they will have an easier time running the ball. so it goes hand in hand — I think the Giants have commited to SAYING they want to get back to the run but are also fully committed to PLAYING the pass.

Now, there have been play action passes – but you’re right you would think there would be more. I think they could use it more because, yes, it does work. But you’re taking the situation too literally. I’m talking about general game plan, not exactly specific play calling techniques.

But even more to my point, we see a lot more 3 and 4 wide formations this year then I remember seeing the past couple of years. They really have abandoned the way we’re used to seeing them play the past few years but in a way we as fans have been clamoring for them to be a more complete team. I think they’re getting there this year.

And this goes without saying, but you feel alot better about changes when you win.

Ive been a giants fan for years but really only started payign attention to all facets of the game in the past few seasons. Although I’m still learning I think there are glaring issues that need to be resolved asap. Defensive play calling is one. This is two games in a row that should have been wins that were almost lost because of shotty playcalling. Two is offensive playcalling. Why in the hell did Gilbride wait until now to use Boss? Fans have been screaming it for months…and look what happened when he finialy got some action..two TDs! People should respect the talent of our TE. and if they dont..make them pay. The other issues are personel. G-Men need to get some fresh bodies at DT, MLB, and Safety. They fix those issues, and get the play calling in check..and we will all be sitting pretty at the top of the NFC again.
