As the Giants got to the line, up three points with just over three minutes left at the Chargers’ four-yard line, something just didn’t feel right. Terrell Thomas had just made a huge interception, setting up the Giants with a chance to put the game away. It should have been a ...Published on: 4th November, 2009
With the first eight weeks in the books, we are now roughly half way through the 2009 NFL season. I decided to set out and determine what the NFC Pro Bowl team would look like if the season ended today. My selections based on the players having the most impressive ...Published on: 3rd November, 2009
1. Saints (7-0) When their offense isn't scoring touchdowns, their defense is. But their offense is always scoring touchdowns. (Last Week: 1) 2. Vikings (7-1) With the two Green Bay games over, I have a feeling Brett Favre will stick around for ...Published on: 2nd November, 2009
This was easily one of the most embarrassing games of the decade. What was hyped up as part one in a great New York vs. Philadelphia doubleheader quickly turned into a stinker. Hey Giants defense, you realize Leonard Weaver is a fullback, right? Yes, the same Leonard Weaver that sprinted past ...Published on: 29th October, 2009
1. Pressure McNabb Yep, for probably the 40th time in a row, the No. 1 key is blitzing the quarterback. Donovan McNabb has been one of the worst passers this season when being blitzed, with a minuscule 39.6 rating. The Giants are hurting in the secondary and it is more important than ...Published on: 27th October, 2009
1. Saints (6-0) They didn't play great, but they turned a 21 point deficit into a 12 point win. With the Vikings' loss, they are unquestionably the NFC's elite right now. (Last Week: 1) 2. Vikings (6-1) Not shocking that they lost to the defending champs in Pittsburgh. They were right ...Published on: 25th October, 2009
1. Rush The Quarterback It may sound like a broken record, but the No. 1 priority every week is rushing the QB. We all saw what happened last week when the Giants couldn’t get a sniff of Drew Brees. He picked them apart and moved the ball like he was playing a ...Published on: 21st October, 2009
Drew Brees and the Saints, in beating the Giants 48-27, really exposed the Giants’ pass defense, piling up 360 yards and moving the ball at will all day. - Some of the problems with the Giants’ defense can be fixed. When Michael Boley returns, the middle of the field shouldn’t be ...Published on: 19th October, 2009
1. Saints (5-0) Is it too early to start comparing this offense to the 2007 Patriots? Maybe, so I won’t go that far. But I will say that the Saints are easily the best team in the NFC right now, maybe the NFL. Their offense can score at will when they ...Published on: 16th October, 2009
Pressure Drew Brees The Saints’ offensive line is allowing one sack per game, which is one of the reason Drew Brees has a 108.4 quarterback rating. The Giants’ defense is built around pressuring the quarterback, averaging about three sacks per game. If the Saints line gives Brees time, he can pick ...
