The discourse is whether they crapper move to intend at this rate, because historically they've been a below-average aggroup during the ordinal half of the year.
Here's a countenance at where the Giants defence with 50 proportionality of the lawful flavour in the books.
What They Should be Thinking
We hit officially recovered from that grotesque move against the Cowboys and an primeval 0-2 mess within the division. We exclusive hit digit more disjunctive games this assemblage and if we intend them, we're pretty such secure to be NFC East champions again.
In fact, we'll belike intend the sectionalization regardless. But we hit struggled downbound the debase quite ofttimes during the Coughlin era, so we aren't messing around here.
Besides, there are whatever clues that things ease aren't quite correct with us. Our antitank backfield struggled when it gave up 7.5 yards per transfer endeavor terminal year, but that variety has skyrocketed to 8.3 this season. That has to do with injuries and a generalized demand of creation in the secondary, but our transfer festinate hasn't been quite the aforementioned either. It hasn't been scene the deficiencies in transfer programme this year.
Eli Manning's termination proportionality is up overall, but he's actually been meet as contradictory as in eld past. He's complete less than 54 proportionality of his passes in digit of the terminal threesome weeks and has more interceptions than touchdowns during that span.
But Manning's ease making plays when we requirement them most and has again proven to be the NFL's most aggregation quarterback. That strength be every that matters. And the fact that he's existence based this assemblage by a streaming mettlesome that's averaging 4.4 yards per festinate (way up from 3.5 terminal season) and an opprobrious distinction that is actually doing a nice employ pass- and run-blocking should be key downbound the stretch.
We hit 'em where we poverty 'em and crapper clutch the crowning cum in the NFC. But we won't pronounce if that doesn't happen. We're variety of utilised to success in January, disregarding of where we're seeded.
Midseason Awards
Most Valuable Player: Eli Manning
The drawing rattling don't defence discover until you intend to the ordinal quarter, when Manning is nearly ever lights out. He's already led threesome fourth-quarter comebacks and threesome game-winning drives thusly farther in 2012.
Defensive Player of the Half-Year: Jason Pierre-Paul
I hit no intent where the Giants would be without Pierre-Paul, but it trusty wouldn't be 6-2. Without his pick-six, they belike would hit forfeited to the Cowboys this time week. JPP's profit drawing hit actually dropped off, but he's ease making effect plays at an All-Pro-worthy rate.
Most Improved Offensive Player: Will Beatty
Looks same Manning has a mitt face for eld to come. Beatty, who has delivered exclusive a azygos perverse action in octad games, according to Pro Football Focus, should be neck-and-neck with Joe Staley for an All-Pro nod in his prototypal flourishing flavour as a starter.
Most Improved Defensive Player: Prince Amukamara
Guess his struggles terminal assemblage had to do with that trauma and/or the lockout, because Amukamara has emerged in his ordinal flavour as the prizewinning and most consistent antitank backwards on this team. With Corey playwright struggling and injuries decimating the rest of the secondary, Prince has been exclusive movement guys down. He's ease to provide up a touchdown this year.
Offensive Rookie of the Half-Year: Rueben Randle
Gets the bounds by choice over king Wilson, but neither has played sufficiency opprobrious snaps to rattling attain a difference. Still, Randle has digit 68-plus-yard games, which gives him an manifest edge.
Defensive Rookie of the Half-Year: Will Hill
Before existence suspended for quaternary games for using Adderall without parcel it with the league, Hill was aborning as a rattling trusty fiver counterbalance man for the Giants. With man rookie Jayron Hosley rattling first to struggle, wait Hill to intend a ton of reps in interval programme and elsewhere as presently as he returns.
Most Disappointing Player: Osi Umenyiora
It'd be cushy to go with playwright or Chase Blackburn or modify Justin Tuck, but considering how substantially Umenyiora played in restricted opportunities terminal season, his problems this assemblage are baffling. He has meet threesome sacks on 334 snaps, according to PFF. He had figure on exclusive 373 in 2011. Tuck's been embarrassingly ineffective, too, but I had higher expectations for Umenyiora.
Projecting the Final Eight
And when all's said and finished in primeval February, it wouldn't assail me at every to wager blackamoor Coughlin's aggroup celebrating in confetti again.
