As far as the first half goes... overall not bad


Offense:

-David Diehl love him to death but he has nothing left to give. He got in excellent shape changed his diet and everything but he's done. I lost count how many times he let his man blow by him.

-Online... hard to critique when Diehl was absolutely terrible. Pugh got no time with the 1st string for some reason... Snee got beat also which isn't a good sign

-Run game looked pretty good aside from the asinine delayed handoffs. You can't win with Gilbride... play calling is so frustrating.

-Eli looked like he was forcing a lot of throws then again he had no time to throw, what else is new... once Cruz went down started forcing throws to Nicks.

-WR's - Nicks didn't look up to speed, Cruz has a bruised heal which doesn't sound serious thank God, Randle needs more looks his way if Nicks isn't 100%, not sure why Hardy was in with the firsts... dropped an easy TD catch.. he actually got a couple looks.

-Redzone play calling looked terrible... I counted about 3 or 4 delayed handoffs... it got blown up every single time. Gilbride is so unimaginative.

-TE's - have to get our TE's involved more in the passing game but it's easier said than done when Diehl is getting blown up every snap


Defense:

-Defense actually looked good just some things didn't go our way, like that TD by Wayne that Ross should have picked off

-Hosley looked like they were picking on him. He's still inexperienced.

-Dan Connor won the starting MLB job tonight

-Herzlich just doesn't have it after beating the battle for cancer. Feel bad for him but he simply isn't good enough for even a backup spot.

-Pass rush:
-Tuck!!! Looks spry and active. Strength is back which is huge for our defense.
-Kiwi looks good back on the D-line
-Still have yet to see JPP out there and Moore was out tonight as well.




Overall it's pre season, I'm not concerned with much aside from the O-line. Pugh needs to start, not Diehl. I can't imagine Diehl will start this season after how bad he was last year and this game.

Second half: Hankins and Austin made some nice plays. Ojomo again played very well... going to be hard to cut him... not sure what we do there because Adrian Tracy is definitely making the team.




Also Myers has been disappointing thus far in pre season... he needs to step it up.


I really thought he would be an upgrade from Bennett because he catches everything.

Was only one game but wasn't impressed.

Tuck, Cruz and Baas left the game due to injury.


Tuck has a hammy.... they said it was minor but UGHHHH

Cruz has a bruised heel, it isn't serious.

Baas sprained his MCL... out 3-6 weeks.

Myers has been very underwhelming looks lost out there.

I don't know why, he needs to step it up.


Watching tape on him from Oakland... he looks like a reception machine.

Disappointed thus far... I think we're all expecting big things from him in our passing attack.

I'm willing to give him the rest of the pre season though.


Myers also ran the incorrect route on the Eli pick which sadly is the only thing he's done to stand out thus far lol
I hope he picks up the offense and has a big year for us.



Grizz where are you? haha

I've been more encouraged by Robinson than Myers... which is good but also not good depending on how you look at it lol

Another injured Giant....

I just got home from work..have yet to watch the game. Will have to check it out after I get some sleep. But I'll tell you this much after reading your posts. You should be used to Gilbride's playcalling by now. He's so easy to read. He does the exact opposite of what should be done. He gets to cute with his playcalls. I can literally tell you what every play will be.

About Myers, it's his 2nd preseason game with the team. You can't really judge him yet. Plus, we've had mediocre tight ends for years now. I'm not too concerned, as long as he can block I'll be happy.

You're right about Randle though, let him get more work in the preseason than the other two. No need to put Nicks out there to get him hurt. As far as Baas goes, I couldn't care less if he plays. I like Cordle haha. Diehl can't play anymore..

Also, I've been telling my father that Herzlich is not a starting linebacker right now, especially not in the middle. He's been talking about how the Giants love him, and I just couldn't see it. I watched him play at BC, he's not an inside backer. I could see him playing a hybrid OLB/DE for us if we show some 3-4. He's not an inside backer.

not surprised on herzlich

look like we'd be 4-3 mainly
