| Why the hell are they passing so much? No wonder Tiki was pissed off. Not only is Toomer out, which means less weapons available, but Eli has been playing shitty the last coupel weeks.
here's an example. The Niners have won their last three games. They know their strengths and their weaknesses. Gore has been an animal. So they play it smart and pound the ball with him, Smith only has to make short little passes which makes his job easier and mistake free, and then they play solid defense.. Boom! They are right back in the playoff hunt. Don't get me wrong, Smith has gotten better, and I could give many examples of this, but he still isn't being asked to do more then he's capable of.
I understand that Manning is the future, but I look at the Giants the same way as the Niners and closer to the Chargers and what they do with LT. Tiki has been a monster and like LT with San Diego, he needs to pound it.. This should open up the passing game and you can see how much LT is helping a young Rivers now.
It's not Manning's fault that Rivers is playing better then him, there's a reason for it. Neither one of them is ready to takeover a game like Eli's big brother, and they have GREAT running backs so you need to use it.
It's almost like the Giants think Manning is laready there and they want to shoot it out with people. It's not going to work. Pound Tiki, control the ball and the clock, and play capitalisitc defense along with mistake free O. |
