An “encouraging and dominant loss” last night, let’s take a look at the game:<\/p>\n

General<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Good to see the “challenge operation” improved as Bowles got both of them right and\u00a0got awarded a third.<\/p>\n

\"Eli– Impressed with NYG\u00a0Eli Apple he looks like he could be a good CB. \u00a0He better watch his\u00a0hands though he got away with several holds that weren’t called.<\/p>\n

Special Teams<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Continues to show massive improvement from the what we’ve been exposed to the last\u00a0few years. \u00a0Lachlan Edwards, Bruce Carter, Rontez Miles, Jeremy Ross and Chandler Worthy\u00a0all had big games. \u00a0Our coverage units had a couple of hiccups though allowing a good punt\u00a0and kick return.<\/p>\n

– Good bounce back from Ross Martin with that 55 yard FG. \u00a0He won’t make the team this year\u00a0but with a little more work he could get the job next year.<\/p>\n

Defense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– An absolutely dominant effort, NYG couldn’t get past midfield until the third quarter and that\u00a0was because of a facemask penalty. \u00a0The missed tackles and “whiffs” disappeared and the third down\u00a0efficiency was excellent.<\/p>\n

– The speed and pressure started to remind me of what Bowles was running in ARZ. \u00a0You also saw a\u00a0ton of 4-2-5 looks where Calvin Pryor “floated” between S & LB.<\/p>\n

– Speaking of Pryor he had a huge game with a sack, at least one TFL and an assist on the Revis\u00a0INT. \u00a0Beckham was so scared of getting clocked by Pryor that he broke off his route and allowed\u00a0the pick.<\/p>\n

– The DLine was so dominant it seemed like NYG was scared to run certain plays and put Manning in\u00a0harm’s way. \u00a0Muhammad Wilkerson and Steve McLendon were absolute beasts and lived in the backfield\u00a0all night. \u00a0With McLendon’s ability to penetrate we didn’t have to sub him out in passing downs and\u00a0stayed with four down linemen.<\/p>\n

– The only bad play of the night was Dee Milliner getting spun around and giving up a TD to a second\u00a0string WR. \u00a0He needs to be better than that.<\/p>\n

– An under the radar guy who had another excellent game was Julian Stanford (ILB). \u00a0Was all over\u00a0the field with the #2 defense and is a demon on specials. \u00a0Can he find a spot on the roster?<\/p>\n

Offense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Was the worst of the three units particularly because of awful QB ball security when we were in\u00a0scoring range. \u00a0Ryan Fitzpatrick held onto the ball too long allowing the Harrison sack\/fumble and\u00a0Bryce Petty threw a “Sanchezian” screen pass pick 6. \u00a0Those plays cost us 6 points and gave them 7.<\/p>\n

– Speaking of Fitzpatrick he needs to get into better sync with ALL the WR’s not just Brandon Marshall.\u00a0Because there were at least three wide open receivers he missed that would have gone for big\u00a0gains:
\n* Eric Decker on a 15 yard out for a first down
\n* Matt Forte on a screen in single coverage against a LB
\n* Robby Anderson wide open with no one around on a broken play<\/p>\n

To whom much is given much is required, he wanted $12 million he’s got to play up to that level. \u00a0He\u00a0can’t be under 60% again when it comes to completion percentage, not with this group of WR’s.<\/p>\n

– Good opening drive by Christian Hackenberg taking the team in for a TD. \u00a0He was up and down after\u00a0that but that’s to be expected. \u00a0There’s still a ton of work that needs to be done but one thing that’s\u00a0encouraging is he works through his progressions when scanning the field. \u00a0He doesn’t just lock onto\u00a0his first option.<\/p>\n

– Good pass protection from the OLine again. \u00a0The RT’s remained anonymous and for all the $$$ NYG\u00a0spent on their DLine our QB’s remained clean. \u00a0Did Pierre-Paul even play, I never heard his name.\u00a0The run blocking was up and down but I’ll give credit to Harrison for that, we all know how good
\nhe is.<\/p>\n

– Good to see Matt Forte out there working the rust off. \u00a0Nothing dynamic but you caught glimpses\u00a0of how he’ll help in the pass game.<\/p>\n

– Solid games out of Zach Sudfeld and Brandon Bostick at TE. \u00a0Can they push Jace Amaro and Kellen\u00a0Davis out the door?<\/p>\n

– Solid games again for Jalin Marshall, Robby Anderson, Charone Peake and Jeremy Ross at WR. \u00a0In\u00a0my book I keep all of them over Kenbrell Thompkins. \u00a0A few nice catches last year doesn’t give him\u00a0a “scholarship”.<\/p>\n
