A FITTING TRIBUTE

The GIANTS paid homage to their past Sunday night by unveiling their Ring of Honor at halftime.  The GIANTS defense paid homage to their past by getting 9 sacks in the first half!  That's how you honor the past.
     The G-Men made all the adjustments we discussed earlier, and certainly did their film work this week.  Jay Cutler was under constant pressure from all sides and when his first option was covered, he had no chance to look anywhere else.  The Bears offense is a strange one.  I have never seen a QB at any level walk to the line and make no adjustments.  Cutler doesn't identify the MLB, doesn't call protections, doesn't adjust to what he sees, and therefore ends up laying on the ground most of the night.  Mike Martz might be an offensive genius, but he might want to think about keeping his QB healthy while he makes all his in game adjustments.
     The GIANTS had another slow beginning offensively, and turned the ball over way too many times.  The penalties were down, and the Bears are a very good defense against the run.  Once again, as GIANTS fans, we can see how we could have scored 30 points minimum.  We are going to need to see the actual points on the board starting this week.  Look for Bear Pascoe to replace Madison Hedgecock at fullback, and look for more double tight end looks utilizing Shawn Andrews.
     The defense had fun last week, and that is a good thing.  Theses guys need to be loose, have some fun, and enjoy the new system.  They will continue to gel and make big plays.
     The Special Teams did not beat us this week, and that was the goal.  Matt Dodge will need to continue to improve, and the regulars will continue to work special teams.

Someone commented last week after reading this blog that it sounded like Chicago was the worst 3-0 team ever, and the Giants one of the best 1-2 teams......I think the point was proved.

Houston on the road next week.

See you Friday

Great stuff, as usual. I saw that NYG had ex IND & WAS punter Hunter Smith working out for them this week. Hopefully, either this will scare the success out of Dodge or Reese will sign Smith and replace him. Either way is okay with me.
