NY Giants Coordinators: Gilbride & Sheridan Exposed

Winning in the NFL is not easy. However, when you have the best defensive line and one of the best offensive lines in football, coaches and their assistants should not loose much sleep. 

Seven games into the NFL season and I am nothing but disappointed in the  production from the New York Giants. Looking back on the victories over Tampa, KC & Oakland, I now firmly believe the Giants are not as good as advertised.

Last week the defense got down right embarrassed.  By half time it was easy to see that the Giants' defensive coordinator, Bill Sheridan, had not adequately prepared.  The Jets and Rex Ryan threw the "sink" at Drew Brees and they shut him down!

The Giants played read and react and got smoked...so what did the Giants do tonight against the Arizona Cardinals?  They got smoked again. 

They did not get beat tonight with 5 touchdowns. They did however allow big play after big play!

WAKE UP BILL SHERIDAN! 

Note to Sheridan:  If you want to make it here in the NFL as a D.C., especially in the NFL East, you better understand your personnel and how to turn them loose.

Did you forget that Kurt Warner, the human statue, was the quarterback?  With two minutes left in the game the Giants had one sack on four hits and four pressures. 

Second year corner Terrell Thomas, who had a great game, should not be allowing Larry Fitzgerald to run down the middle of the field untouched.  In the beginning of the game the Giants had their best cover corner, Corey Webster covering Larry Fitz.

Why the change when everyone admitted that Boldin could not run.  What happened to the pressure? Where were the blitzes, the stunts, etc...

The offensive coordinator was no better.  Gilbride is a flat out phony!

When things get tough he goes into a shell.  The playing calling was terrible.  Take away a great catch from Kevin Boss and another circus catch from Steve Smith and the Giants have nothing but another dropped game-tying pass by Mario Manningham.

Running a "draw" at our own goal line was a joke.

Jacobs was 4 for 63 in the first quarter and Gilbride took him out.  Third and two and Eli is throwing bombs. The screens to open the game were nice..why not go back to it?

1. Where is the screen?
2. Where is the draw?
3. Boss? Darcy Johnson? Barden? Beckman?

The Giants will win some games; but good teams like San Diego, Philadelphia, Dallas, Chicago, Denver and Minnesota make adjustments and find ways to win. 

And if analyst Chris Collinsworth can figure out the snap count from the booth regarding Eli's "Omaha" call, I am sure the players on the field from Arizona could figure it out.

These coordinators are hurting the team and the flow of the game.  

I hope Coughlin lights a fire under these guys before it too late.
