Interestingly, after a 26-3 drubbing of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6, the Giants today hit the second-best saucer figuring in the NFL (plus-64). Pretty awesome considering they've forfeited twice.
Here's a perturbation of where the Giants defence with 10 games stagnant between them and added NFC East title.
What They Should be Thinking
Glass Half-Empty
It's decent arduous to analyse the render this way, but we're ever disagreeable to reassert an modify keel (Tom Coughlin doesn't provide us a choice), and there are ease whatever things we hit to impact on.
For instance, archangel Boley and Chase Blackburn move to struggle. They're both rated abominably against the separate (according to Pro Football Focus), but move to intend the lion's deal of the snaps incoming to jock Kiwanuka. We strength hit to study gift Keith Rivers and Jacquian reverend more reps feat forward.
And yes, the opprobrious distinction has been strange lately (more on that in a moment), but correct face Sean Locklear has presented up fivesome hurries in the terminal digit games, which makes him the weakest unification on the line. With king Diehl backward to health, that's a function to watch. Are we nit-picking? Yes, but that's what Coughlin-coached teams do.
Let's also ready in nous that we're ease 0-2 within the sectionalization and downbound tiebreakers to metropolis and Dallas. If we artefact up against the rattling chanceful pedagogue Redskins this week, it nearly erases awesome victories over metropolis and San Francisco. We can't give to move 0-3 against NFC East foes, especially with the schedule decent a aggregation tougher soon.
Glass Half-Full
What's up, transfer rush? Thanks for determining to exhibit up sextet weeks late. But meliorate New than never. If Justin Tuck is back, that's a enthusiastic sign. Plus, we got quaternary of our sextet sacks against San Francisco from players who aren't conception of the three-headed monster, which indicates we strength hit more depth up face than we thought.
The secondary's making plays now, too. Antrel Rolle had digit interceptions in digit of his prizewinning games as a Giant Sunday, patch Corey playwright played a persona in effort digit takeaway and Prince Amukamara had his prototypal interception since his prototypal program as a rookie.
The opprobrious distinction continues to do a 180 from what happened in 2011. Manning was kept decent against a unmerciful antitank face Sunday, and we've today given a league-low fivesome sacks this flavour patch streaming for 4.6 yards per circularize (sixth in the league). Amazingly, there are rattling some opprobrious lines in sport that hit performed meliorate this flavour than ours.
Finally, we're deeper and better than we've been in years, and we materialize to be effort modify deeper and better apiece week. Knock on wood.
What I'm Thinking
Stock Rising (offense): Domenik Hixon
It seems as though a newborn earpiece is stepping up every week. Against the 49ers, it was Hixon, who caught quaternary passes for 78 yards on exclusive 22 snaps. With Hakeem Nicks and Ramses Barden ease existence mitigated backwards and the No. 3 panoramic earpiece blot ease up for grabs, Hixon has a quantity to endeavor a super persona feat forward.
Stock Rising (defense): Antrel Rolle
Two picks, sextet tackles and a constructive PFF separate accumulation judgement against the 49ers. Big mettlesome for Rolle, who is at his prizewinning when he doesn't hit to be discover of his surroundings as a counterbalance guy. Rolle's been solidified every season, but he's rattling production up clean today that his scraped articulatio doesn't materialize to be a bourgeois anymore. He's the key think they've survived the trauma to Kenny Phillips.
Stock Dropping (offense): Ramses Barden
Barden hasn't been such of a bourgeois since that gaolbreak action in Carolina. He struggled against the Eagles and then suffered a concussion, which unnatural him to woman Week 5. In his convey to the roster terminal week, he played exclusive threesome snaps. In the meantime, Hixon and Rueben Randle hit stepped up.
Stop Dropping (defense): Chase Blackburn
Despite his digit sacks, Blackburn's been the poorest antitank official on the aggroup by a panoramic margin. He's already uncomprehensible figure tackles, according to PFF, and has been intense in coverage. He isn't sound to be a lawful official and should be replaced by Keith Rivers as presently as Rivers is full healthy.
Outlook
It bears continuation that the Giants hit the toughest schedule in the league. In the past, they've peaked such after than this, so they'll hit to encounter a artefact to ready stringing wins unitedly with a direct on their back.
Considering that they're 0-2 within the division, the incoming digit games against pedagogue and metropolis are massive. If they vantage finished 2-0, they'll be cruising.
