The post Quick Notes December 11, 2016 Giants vs Cowboys first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

It’s been quiet in Giants country. We are all awaiting for the Giants training camp to open up on July 28th, until then here a few things that are going on.

Hakeem Nicks workout

The New Orleans Saints are working out a few wide receivers and one familiar name showed up, Hakeem Nicks looks to extend his playing time in New Orleans.

NFC East wins Over / Under

Bovada released their NFC East wins over and under, and the Giants are stuck right in the middle with 8.

Cowboys 9.5
Giants 8
Redskins 7.5
Eagles 7

The post Hakeem Nicks workout with New Orleans first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The Giants fell to 3-3 after a disastrous loss to the Philadelphia Eagles 27-7. Initially the Gmen were firing on all cylinders quickly scoring on the first drive, then forcing a three and out when  Philadelphia received the ball. On the Giants next drive they moved the ball well until a Larry Donnell strip / interception, and that is when the wheels fell off. Head coach Tom Coughlin calls it a bad game and bad production.

Well, it’s a bad game, it’s a bad production. We’ve got to be able to handle the big games. The games where things don’t go our way, we’ve got to handle them better. You’ve got handle those situations better. You’re going to always have your little adjustments to adapt to the team that you’re going to play that you may add something to or you may not do something as much of. But you are who you are, and you do have your scheme in hands and you’re going to stay within that scheme as you plan and go forward. You’re going to try and make the players understand how different this could have been had some things been taken advantage of, had we been able to score the second time we marched down there. Just the little teeny things that happen that each play becomes so monumental when you’re playing against a good football team. The third and one, the fourth and one, the opportunity to catch the ball, put it away and not let someone take it from you—all those things add to the winning and the losing and the ebb and the flow that take place during the game. So you’ll make some adjustments. For example, I thought we had some good runs. We had some good runs going for us and our balance might have been better had we been able to do something with the ball to make first downs, not shoot ourselves in the foot so often, there may have been even better balance. Frustration? Yeah, no question about, you can sense it in my voice. Especially when you’ve got a day where you don’t have your team around here. You’ve got tape to look at and the coaches to talk with, but at the same time, because of the nature of the week, you’ve got to move on to the next opponent. You’ve got to get moving.

The Giants Lost their lead in the NFC East and now are tied with Philadelphia with a 3-3 record. Up next to the Dallas Cowboys in another pivotal game for the NFC East. The Giants know that they are still in the mix but must move on past this horrible loss.

Well, you’ve got to shut the turnovers down, there’s no doubt about that. I think the conscientious effort on the part of everybody here will be directed at that. The players have definitely got that message, there’s no doubt. At the expense of anything else, both hands have got to go on the ball and you just can’t be careless, you just can’t. Especially when you go into a game with a team that is leading the league in forced fumbles. I just shake my head sometimes because we’re not aware of, and that’s an area of frustration as well. But remorse, the players will be remorseful because of the opportunity that we had. But let’s not forget there’s a long way to go, we are 3-3. Said Coach Tom Coughlin.

The Giants can help themselves out by beating Dallas, and luckily The Eagles play at a good Carolina Panthers team who are 5-0. It is too early in the season to be hoping for some breaks but the Giants are 3-3 and still in this. Please leave a comment below and feel free to share.

Heading into week 4 I have a thought about our Giants before we get to the picks of the week and some fantasy play for week 4.

Now I know in the Kevin Gilbride offense everything is about chunks of yardage and getting the ball downfield and considering the success this team has had I am not complaining about that. The part that makes no sense is this, considering the play of the offensive line, screens may help, a lot. I am in no way saying the Giants should revamp their offense completely, but having a couple of screens in the game plan can help to keep the defense off balance and negate their pass rush.

One more thing on this “screen” thing. Eli Manning is a Super Bowl MVP quarterback and a 10 year veteran now. Shouldn’t he have the power to come up to the line of scrimmage, survey the defense and if he sees a cornerback playing 7-10 yard off the line of scrimmage, give the wide out a had signal, take the snap, turn and just throw him the ball.

Buy doing this it does a couple of things.

1. Gets the ball in our playmakers hands in space.

2. Helps the offensive line by limiting how many times they will be forced to block Hali and Houston.

3. Keeps Eli from getting decapitated..

4. Creates 2nd and 3rd and short situations.

5. By creating short yardage situations on 2nd and 3rd down you negate the defenses ability to blitz and pin their ears back to get after Eli.

FANTASY PLAYS WEEK 4

QB – Mike Glennon – Buccaneers — I know it’s his first start but if you are in deeper leagues and have Rodgers or Cam as your #1 starter Glennon may be a steal this week. He has weapons to throw to and the Cards are not playing lights out on defense.

RB – Maurice Jones Drew – Jaguars — Usually kills the Colts who are giving up a ton on the ground this season. MJD keeps it moving this week with at least one score.

RB – Trent Richardson – Colts — The trade really pays off this week with Bradshaw out and a favorable match up against the Jaguars.

WR – Josh Gordon – Browns — If you picked

him up you got a steal. If you drafted him, like me, you might be a genius. Coming of a 2 game suspension Gordon blew up last week. He was targeted a whopping 19 times and added a carry as well. If the trade rumors are true surrounding Gordon expect him to be showcased a lot over the next couple of weeks.

WR – Dwayne Bowe – Chiefs — Bowe had 1 catch for 4 yards last week. The Giants haven’t shown they can cover at all so far this season. Expect Andy Reid to move Bowe around a lot and target him more than last week.

TE – Kyle Rudolph – Vikings — Just got a feeling about Rudolph this week. Steelers will look to smother AP and Rudolph will make a couple of plays off of play-action, Pure gut call on this one,

PICKS OF THE WEEK

SEASON RECORD – 8-6-2

Went 0-2 during the one o’clock games and totally redeemed myself going 3-0 in the after nooners…Can you say Mr. Moooomentum???

JETS +3.5 over the Titans — Don’t trust Locker against Rex’s defense and the Jets as a whole are playing better than anyone expected. I like the Under here to.

Jets 16 Titans 13

FALCONS -2 over the Patriots — The Falcons are to good to go 1-3 and the Patriots aren’t good enough to go 4-0. It’s science.

Falcons 24 Patriots 17

LIONS -3 over the Bears — The Bears are 2-5 in their last 7 on the road. and the Lions are best in the league at 3rd down defense giving up a awesome 27%.

Lions 31 Bears 20

SAINTS -6.5 over the Dolphins — Sean Payton in his last 10 home games against the spread… 10 and 0

Saints 34 Dolphins 21

UPSET OF THE WEEK

CHARGERS +2 over the Cowboys — Cowboys are 8-22 against the spread in their last 30 games…and because I hate the Cowboys.

San Diego Super Chargers 21 Cowboys 20

Enjoy the games this week and as always…LETS GO BIG BLUE!!!

The post Deep Football Thoughts Week 4 first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Ok, so that quote is hilarious, but what does it have to do with football?

Well let’s, for arguments sake, make the Indianapolis Colts the world with out war. They were a great story last season with the drafting of Andrew Luck to replace Peyton Manning. Turning around a 2-14 team to go 11-5 last year and make the playoffs. The inspirational story of head coach Chuck Pagano and his fight with leukemia touched us all last season. They were the “feel good” story last year and have continued to be a “world without war, a world without hate.” Everything has been looked at through rose covered glasses for the last year in Indy.

And they may have just been attacked.

Trent Richardson for a 1st round pick??? Now hold on, before you blast me about Richardson and how good he is and what he will mean to Andrew Luck and the Colts, think about this for a sec, and not from a fantasy football perspective.

Is Trent Richardson worth a 1st round pick? Hell no.

You can debate this either way really, but I like to play devils advocate, so while i think Richardson will pay dividends for Pep Hamilton and the Colts offense in the short term, I think they over payed and panicked in acquiring him.

Richardson has a ton of talent, but he is injury prone. He has a history of knee injuries and rib injuries as well. Are the Colts that close to a championship that Richardson puts them over the top? No. Could they have used that 1st round pick on a offensive lineman or a pass rusher next season? Yes.

I don’t think the Colts were “trade raped” on this one. Richardson will help and be a lot more productive in the Colts offense, but in the long run I think Cleveland gets the better of this trade. Two picks in the 1st, 3rd rounds and 5th rounds of the draft when you are rebuilding is never a bad thing.

Lets take a look around the league after 2 weeks division by division… then some Fantasy dudes for week 3 and of course the picks of the week.

AFC EAST — Brady and the Pats WR’s are not on the same page, however they are 2-0 with Gronk on the mend. Miami looks for real so far and that defense, led by Cameron Wake has 9 sacks through 2 games. Buffalo has been better than expected and the Jets are playing hard but are offensively challenged.

Miami could give the Pats fits unless those WR’s grow up a lot in a

little.

AFC NORTH — Yuk. The Steelers and Browns look lost. The Browns were my surprise pick to make a run at the playoffs, but that pick looks to have shit the bed after 2 weeks. weeden is hurt and has fell out of favor in Cleveland and the traded Trent Richardson to Indy, they might as well come out waving the white flag in Minnesota this weekend. Ravens and Bengals look to fight this one until the end.

Giovanni Benard showed what he can do on MNF, expect a lot more of the same moving forward. He is a difference maker.

AFC SOUTH — Hey Jaguars, Please dial 1-800-TEB-OOOW so we can actually care about you again. The Titans look better than what was expected, but I’m not sold on the QB. This looks to be the Texans division still, but with Indy getting Richardson, I don’t think it’s better for them long term, but for this season, it should make the two Colts vs. Texans games this year very interesting.

AFC WEST — Say what you want about Oakland, they have been fun to watch and if RUN-DMC can stay healthy they are going to surprise some people this year. The Chargers are playing hard but losing Malcom Floyd for a month after already losing DX, Denario Alexander for the season, Phillip Rivers is running out of WR’s fast. Chiefs have a defense that is physical and puts pressure on the QB, Hali and Houston are monsters, but The Broncos look like a steamroller. the division is theirs.

NFC WEST — I told you no one wants to go to Seattle and play. The NFC teams

need to do all they can to prevent this team from getting home field advantage. The 49ers talk tough, but cant cover a twin bed with a queen size blanket. Rams and Cardinals will continue to improve as the season moves along.

NFC SOUTH — Tampa is a mess and Revis Island is complaining, already. Carolina looks lost and the Giants will try not to provide a map for them this Sunday. The Falcons are the Falcons…if the WR’s stay healthy they can go far, if Roddy and Julio continued to get banged up the division is

the Saints to lose. Welcome back Sean Payton.

NFC NORTH — This division is fun to watch as well. The Bears have surprised, the Cutler and Trestman experiment plus a little Black Unicorn…so far so good. The Vikings and Lions will be a part of some crazy games this year but are not really contenders. Reggie Bush is hurt already. HEY RODGERS….DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK. Packers offensive is a juggernaut.

NFC LEAST…I MEAN EAST — Jesus, this has been disgusting. I’m nauseous just writing about it. So far I was right about the Eagles, funto watch but no defense and Vick turns the ball over to much. Dallas is Dallas, same ol Cowboys… they will have a game in their hands and then Dez will drop it. I’m trying no to gloat cause it’s so early, but RGKNEE?? I saw ESPN use that on FIRST TAKE, RGKNEE was my brainchild and I wish to be compensated…lol I also said the same offense wouldn’t work in Washington this year…so far so good.

It’s all on BIG BLUE. Play the way you are capable of playing every week and this division is yours for the taking.

FANTASY PLAYS WEEK 3–

“I told you so” Player of week 2 — Martellus Bennett — 70 yards…2 Touchdowns. Thats Right!!

Players I like this week…

QB — Eli Manning – Giants — Carolina is pulling corners off their practice squad and the Giants can’t run the ball. Eli has a huge day.

RB – Pierre Thomas – Saints — He is averaging 5.1 yards a carry and Mark Ingram is out. He will split time with Sproles but expect Thomas to find the end zone this weekend.

RB – Stevan Ridley – Patriots — The Pats have had 10 days to prepare for the Bucs. Expect them to score in the 30’s and Ridley to score a TD and add on yards in the 2nd half to work to clock.

WR- Michael Floyd – Cardinals — There is a new stat in fantasy football called OTD…it reflects scoring opportunities and chance near or in the End Zone. Floyd hasn’t caught a TD but he is tied for 7th in OTD and has been targeted 7 times in 2 weeks inside opponents 10 yard line…in a shoot out in New Orleans, Floyd gets his first TD of the year. Could have a huge game its Fitzgerald is out.

WR – Golden Tate – Seahawks — The Jaguars are visiting Seattle. Pray for them. Tate makes a big play and finds pay dirt.

PICKS OF THE WEEK —

Last week — 3-2-1

For the season — 5-4-2

If you are gambling and above .500 on the year, you should have no complaints at all. I’ve had some good calls so far and for the most part I’ve been in every game. Let’s see if I can keep it going.

Seattle -19.5 over the jaguars — I know it’s 20 points, but I think I would take Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M against

these Jags.

Seattle 30- Jaguars 3

Dolphins -3 over the Falcons– This defense is going to give the Falcons offensive line fits all day. I like Miami in their home opener.

Dolphins 24-Falcons 27

Giants PICK EM over the Panthers — Will the real NY Giants please stand up? Carolina is gonna have a problem here.

Giants 30 Panthers 14

UPSETS OF THE WEEK —

Colts +10 over the 49ers — 49ers secondary is playing horrible and Luck will keep this close. Niners win but don’t cover.

49ers 23 Colts 20

Cardinals +7.5 over the Saints — Do I think the Cards win?…No. But Brees will throw pick against an improving Cards secondary and Palmer does enough to make it interesting late.

Saints 34 Cards 30

Enjoy the games and your weekend people …LETS GO BIG BLUE!!!!
