Tcuk out, Osi unable to take full load and Kiwanuka playing LB. Giants like to rotate their DL and give everyone no more than 40-50 snaps per game. JPP has been taking 60 - 65. When Tuck gets back after the bye (he started practicing) things should get better.<br /><br />Amukamara coming back also will help, giving some depth to secondary. Ross has been ery up and down this year - you're right. He was awful against Rams earlier this year, but has been better since then. <br /><br />I am surprised to see your Redskins declining so soon. I thought their defense was really good and they would have a decent season in them. We'll see if they can solve their QB situation. If Santana Moss is out (hand injury?) Redskins will have very little in the way of WR threats.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814176576934354769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937616333234364884.post-45012059705216164392011-10-11T15:08:44.449-04:002011-10-11T15:08:44.449-04:00Funny to have come across your post after Week 5. ...Funny to have come across your post after Week 5. Going into this past weekend, I forgot to send in my pick to a company-wide suicide pool, and I guess the person that runs it just fills in blanks with the "consensus" pick for that given week... well, that happened to be the Giants (btw, was super surprised to see how many points Vegas was favoring them at the beginning of the week). I woke up Sunday morning realizing what had happened, and immediately emailed the person running the league to switch my pick to the Chargers. Like yourself, I just looked back in history, and couldn't help but see this game as one of those that the Giants should win, no question, but somehow find a way to lose. Anyway, to cut a long story short, by 4pm, I had just watched the most entertaining (Cruz, one-handed catch), agonizing (Cruz, tip off hands interception) game of the season thus far.<br /><br />Also - is it me, or do the Giants' most valuable defensive asset (pass rush) considerably slow down in the second half of games? That, and the most obvious comment of the year: they need to figure something out re: their secondary... it's crushing them. Webster's pretty good, but everyone else (e.g. Aaron Ross)... yikes. You used to be able to hide DB weakness with certain defensive formations, but that just doesn't fly these days... teams are too good at finding those guys, isolating them, creating bad match ups, etc... Doug Baldwin should not be able to burn the Giants for 130+ yards.<br /><br />In other news, I'm just waiting for the collapse of the Redskins. I wonder if Vegas has an over/under for that?fs2117https://www.blogger.com/profile/14580915376338625222noreply@blogger.com
