fringe Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 "Hedgecock" is going to become a synonym for dropping a short pass. "Jacobs" may become synonymous for missing a block if he doesn't start sticking his nose in there on pass protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Not surprised at all about Manningham. I just wonder who's stepping up next week. I think Hixon just got bumped on the chart if he misses another game or two. I'm hoping Hixon is bumped down, because frankly, we won't go far this year if he's our #1 or #2 option. Not to hate on Hixon or anything, but him getting knocked out of the game could have been one of the factors in the Giants victory. He’s a #3 WR in my opinion, but he’s clearly not our #1 guy, and he’s not dangerous enough as a #2 either. Basically, Eli had the option of going with two wide receivers (Manningham, Smith) that could hurt you in single coverage. No way to double both of them, plus the Big Boss man. I’m seeing Manningham, Smith, and Nicks as our three guys, with Barden coming in depending on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Is it too much to have asked for 1 jump ball to the corner of the endzone for Barden last night... the FB slant was a no fucking starter Yah, let's use the play that works less than 50% of the time. The "jumpball" is a "crapshoot". Playaction, look for Boss over the middle. On first down. No more, run, run, pass, field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Bradshaws big time block? Like throwing his body in front of a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's funny, me and some friends were watching the game and after the first one I said "Thats your one Hedgecock" Little did I know they'd try it again. like Joe said we've been Hedgecocked!!!

Nas Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 What I find interesting about that list is who is throwing to them...that 04 QB class is really making a case for it being the greatest. Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah as Tree said Gilbride isnt gonna change. I mean any fuckin fan watchin last night knows that Hedgecock cannot catch the ball. How ridiculous can our OC be???? In Martin's playbook the Hedgecock pass is the last play in the book. I mean the desperation play of the century. gezzzz this freaking guy !!!! Martin officially lost it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 "Hedgecock" is going to become a synonym for dropping a short pass. It has much to do with his body width and how the shoulder pads restrict him form making catchings above his head. Players with this body type can only be throw to low around the ribs.

That dude amazes me how much power he packs in such a little body (not little compared to me but I'm saying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 he may be my favorite giant. He's definitely up there.. it's hard to pick just one when you have names like Tuck, Eli, and Brandon on that team... Personally I think Michael Johnson is a star in the making.

Virginia Giant Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 he may be my favorite giant. My Eagles fan buddy loves him, always watches Giants games with me and says how much he wishes he played for the Eagles. During the Tampa playoff game during our SB run, we both fell in love with him, if Jacobs ran with Bradshaws power and determination at the line he'd be unstoppale.

BleedinBlue Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My Eagles fan buddy loves him, always watches Giants games with me and says how much he wishes he played for the Eagles. During the Tampa playoff game during our SB run, we both fell in love with him, if Jacobs ran with Bradshaws power and determination at the line he'd be unstoppale. I think Jacobs experiencing injuries had made him a little more tentative than when he first started for the Giants. If Bradshaw had been sidelined as often as Jacobs, he too might get a little more tentative. But the biggest problem with Jacobs is that the opposition is keying in on him and our line is not making the holes for him to get going. Because of his size, he needs about 3 yards to get up to speed and once that happens, he's a fucking renegade bulldozer. He hasn't had too many opportunities to get up to speed yet. I feel for the 180 lb CB stuck with trying to bring him down once he's broken free and has his momentum going in the open ground. Regardless, Bradshaw is a great compliment to Jacobs. It's just they have two entirely different styles to their game and the rest of the team has to adjust accordingly.....and they haven't adjusted well for Jacobs yet.

Tempest Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Jacobs already does unfortunately he cannot hide behind the offensive linemen as well as Bradshaw can. The season is off to a very nice start. My Eagles fan buddy loves him, always watches Giants games with me and says how much he wishes he played for the Eagles.

Storm Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I can't agree more. Save Hixon for punt returns. I really wish I knew the thread title where everyone was saying they thought Hixon was our definitive number 1. So I could say "I told you so" to all those people.

Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Manningham's catch reminded me of Sehorns pick-6 in that playoff game against the Eagles in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Im going to assume Mario Manningham has gone from 0% owned to at least 60% owned in most fantasy leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season is off to a very nice start. I love Jacobs, but i don't think he hits the hole as hard as bradshaw, not by a long shot. Jacobs uses blocking better, get to the outside and punishes a DB, we all love it but Bradshaw is a monster in a pint sized body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about the low center of gravity than power or passion. If you think about all of the tall RB's of our era- I can only think of Hampton, Jacobs and Eddie George off the top of my head- they run with the same straight up style- it wears the defense down over time and they need a hole to get sprung.

Treehugger Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I also think the defense keys in on Jacobs a lot more than Bradshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
