My points from the game

Points from the game

- No killer instinct

- The holes in the running game aren't there, but regardless, Barber is still not running with the same tenacity he used to.

- Felix Jones just doesn't look fast - especially on Kickoffs. He needs to stop dancing on kickoffs and hit the damn hole. I think Ogletree would be better on returns

- Something has to happen with Nick Folk. I wonder how capable Bueller is?

- I thought Roy Williams had a great game, except for the one he did not catch in the corner of the end zone. A #1 receiver HAS to make that play in a big game.

- I'm not sure why D-Ware is having trouble getting to the QB. It seems like he keeps getting forced out wide and can't get back around in time.

- Anthony spencer - another good game.

- Poor tackling. On several long plays (there was a 40 yarder to Steve Smith in particular), our tacklers are leaving their feet. On another we had Bradshaw bottled up and he brought it down to the 10.

- Mike Jenkins - another great game.

- Sensabaugh. Love this guy. Made a great play on third down to break up a pass in the flat. Old Roy Williams wouldn't have sniffed a play like that.

- Bueller isn't getting it in the end zone anymore it seems.

- Overall the defense looks really stout... it was just a few breakdowns that really hurt us (3 in parciular... Long pass to Brandon Jacobs, long Ward run after we had him in the backfield, and a 40 yard crossing pattern to Steve Smith). This one is on the players... you have to make the play.

I really can't fault the coaching on this one because I think Wade put the defense in a position to win the game. I want to place a little blame on Jason Garrett for not sticking with the passing game, but we always give him a hard time when he abandons the run. That said, yesterday the pass was working and the run wasn't. You have to go with whats working.

Bottom line - the Giants wanted it more than we did. Why is that? Partly because we do things like Flozell did when he took that cheapshot at halftime. Why do the other team a favor by firing them up?

prediction - 10 wins.

If Wade puts Scandrick outside then he sets up for more failure

Scandrick will be all right, Smith just gives him fits, he’s a good receiver.

good pt, but I like Shadowing SSmith vs the alternative

Nicks vs Scandrick-give me Nicks.

Adam Jones, Bueller

1. Bueller. You need to check your high school physics. It was 30 at the game yesterday. In cold weather you can’t kick balls as far. Got nothing to do with Bueller. He’ll be kicking touchbacks next week. That’s why it was also crazy to have Folk attempt the 57 yarder.

2. Does anyone else wish Jerry had kept Adam Jones. He hasn’t had any incidents and he’s eligible to play in the NFL. At this point he’d be 2 year into his return and all the rust would be gone. I’d feel a lot better with Adam Jones on Steve Smith than Scandrick.

Personally, I think that Jerry planned to bring him back.

I think that he was hoping that the furor over Jones would die down, and that he could bring him back to the team. The only problem was that it never did, and the possibility became yet another distraction for the team.

no way

Pacrat is a punk and Jerry should have never signed him last year to begin with. Very overrated player.

Dazzling analysis

I actually though Adam Jones would be an improvement over Scandrick.

Then I read your remarkably reasoned reply. Packrat, that’s so original and clever. Did you steal that from a 1st grader? And he’s a punk. We’ll I guess that settles that. I didn’t know Adam Jones liked the Sex Pistols. How can you tell? Is it the mohawk haircut?
