Giants @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 4

[dead_poet]

They did good. Before the hype train gets going too fast though, the Giants have been one of the worst D-lines at getting pressure this year.

They were far from perfect.

Finally a CP sighting where has he been

2014 I guess

Cordarrelle Patterson's 36 snaps was the most for him since 2014 Week 9 back when he was frequently starting

He may not have had any long passes, but he made a couple important grabs tonight.

offense is getting better.

Eli showed what happens when you get the ball out fast against Vikes. You might avoid the sacks but your production is still going to suck.

Really good W. Bradford reminds me of 2001ish Tom Brady. Not spectacular numbers but keeps the defense honest, takes what the D gives him, and doesn't turn the ball over. Actually, this whole team reminds me of those Patriot teams where nobody cares about personal stats - just the W.

That's a good comparison actually. And this offense is going to continue to grow for several reasons; 1) Integrating Patterson more and more, 2) Treadwell is not far off; 3) The RB's are finding their way more each game; 4) Perhaps the biggest of all, Sam is learning all the intricacies of each pass catcher such as depth of route, catch radius, hands, etc.

Add Floyd to the D and even perhaps AP late December?

Ah man, life is good!

Red Zone Efficiency 3/3 - 100%

Over 100 yds rushing

Offense no sacks.

[Mothman]

Just sayin'

I hear ya!

[jackal]

Honestly I thought Clemmings and Cirles did better tonight than Kalil and Smith had done this season...

Yeah they missed a few things but all things considered I thought they did a pretty good job.


The offense got a little too cautious a few times but they did open things open with some screen passes and a few 20
plus yard shots...

OBJ held to the least amount of yards in forever

O-line put together with duct tape

Patterson got his touches

I could not have imagined a better outcome. If I'm in a coma, don't pull the plug!

Per PFF:

When targeted, Rhodes has allowed an NFL passer rating of 0.0, 3 for 10 for 23 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 1 PD

is that on the season?

[S197]

Yup. Although he's only played two games so that's basically against Benjamin and OBJ. Still impressive.

Keep in mind too that the Giants last year gave up a ton of big plays so this year they have gone to a "keep everything in front of you" approach on D and had one of the smaller (3-4?) amounts of 20+ yard plays in the league before last night.

I was impressed with how the offense grew last night, Johnson producing and more Patetrson involved, and I cannot wait till the day that Treadwell emerges!

Just downright impressive.
Quietly becoming a top tier CB.

I'm going to change his name to ZOBJ, which stands for ZerOdell Beckham Jr.
