The New York Giants have allowed an average of 372. 2 yards per game, which ranks 22nd in the NFL. The secondary is in shambles and their vaunted defensive line has a combined 3. 5 sacks through four games . divisional losses this season. In particular, defensive ends Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck have been nearly invisible through the first four games of 2012. s possible that Umenyiora and Tuck are no longer what they used to be. Both have experienced a great deal of wear and tear throughout their lengthy careers, including several injuries to both players. However, last January and into February we saw the same two guys wreaking havoc on the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. s not a lot Big Blue can do to stop it.<b><a href="http://www.fansgiantsshop.com/">New York Giants Jersey</a></b> | |||
Against the Dallas Cowboys, quarterback Tony Romo massacred the Giants with a steady dose of quick slant routes over the middle of the field. The Giants corner backs played with their backs to the sideline and the pass rush was unable to get to Romo with consistency. When the Giants blitzed, they got pressure on Vick, but he was able to make big plays through the air to DeSean Jackson as the game progressed. Nobody really wants to hear any excuses. re getting double-teamed, triple-teamed, all this stuff. re going to have to do." t have any proven talent at cornerback, Kenny Phillips is hurt and Chase Blackburn can not cover anybody over the middle of the field. s elite right now. s a chance that can change in the near future. s up to the defensive line to carry the defense.<b><a href="http://www.fansgiantsshop.com/Hakeem_Nicks_Jersey">Hakeem Nicks Jersey</a></b> If the secondary ever gets healthy enough to cover anybody, we will see JPP, Osi, and Tuck break out like we have in the past. | |||
Until then, the defense is going to be suspect. The second-round draft pick was on the receiving end of nationally-televised criticism by NBC football analyst Cris Collinsworth on Sunday, and it has left him a little confused. During the Giants' loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia, Collinsworth said that some people with the team were questioning Randle's work ethic and were hoping that he grows up and becomes more of a professional. Randle, who has had limited action with a veteran receiver corps, learned of Collinsworth's comments on Twitter. The bottom line for the Giants (2-2) is that they might need Randle on Sunday against the winless Cleveland Browns.<a href="http://www.fansgiantsshop.com/Michael_Strahan_Jersey">Michael Strahan Jersey</a> Neither Nicks nor Barden practiced Wednesday, leaving Randle as the No. 3 receiver behind Victor Cruz and Domenik Hixon. | |||
Instead of talking about playing time, though, Randle spent more time being asked about Collinsworth. "I am not really sure what he is referring to, so it is kind of hard for me to comment on it," Randle said of the criticism by the former receiver who has won an Emmy for his work as a sportscaster. Randle admits he has not produced as much as he had hoped. "I mean, as a rookie you come in and struggle and things like that," the former LSU product said. "My job here is (to) just continue to work hard and to trust in my teammates and the coaching staff each and every week, and just take advantage of the opportunities they give me. " <a href="http://www.fansgiantsshop.com/Osi_Umenyiora_Jersey">Osi Umenyiora Jersey</a> Teammates defended the rookie. "Rueben, he's young and he's trying to figure out what it takes to compete and get mentally and physically ready for upcoming games," uarterback Eli Manning said. "He has talent. He's been working better, having an understanding of just how we work and how we prepare each week, and he's been getting more reps these last few weeks. | |||
He's going to have to make some plays for us, and I believe he can do that. He can help us out. " Most of the veterans said it's not surprising that a young player isn't picking things up right away. It indicates that he is not comfortable with the system and isn't certain how to react when the defense presents certain looks. "The offense that we have here is complex, and we have different routes and different coverages, so on the snap of the ball the safety might do something different from pre-snap," Randle said. "So you got to pick up things a lot faster. " One way to do that is to put your face in the playbook. Cruz said the Giants system also requires the receivers to be attentive to a number of things, <a href="http://www.fansgiantsshop.com/Phil_Simms_Jersey">Phil Simms Jersey</a> particularly who Manning points out as a middle linebacker and any checks he makes before the snap. I think he is just going to be more and more comfortable and will start making more and more plays for us. " Randle, who gained six yards on his one reception, seemed more concerned about being ready for the Browns than any criticism. | |||
"You can't really focus on the outside," he said. "As long as you know what is going on the inside and how your teammates feel and coaching staff feels, everything on the outside you just got to let it stay (outside). " The 21-year-old, considered one of the best wide receivers to come out of the 2012 NFL Draft class, left LSU after his junior season. NOTES: Besides Barden and Nicks, C David Baas (hand), DT Rocky Bernard (quadriceps), LB Michael Boley (hip), S Kenny Phillips (knee), G Chris Snee (hip) and CB Corey Webster (hand) did not practice Wednesday. … OT David Diehl worked on a limited basis for the first time since spraining a knee against Tampa Bay in Week 2.
