ESPN Mosley: How I See It: NFC East Stock Watch

[Rudy]

I basically saw Spencer get a sack on Leftwich, if not for being held. CLEARLY being held, the replay actually shows him reaching for Leftwich and Spencer's body jerking almost violently back. The worst part was that the hold wasn't even called and it was right in front of the ref.

Fat Albert: nothing new: lil' Dan really got some good bang for his bucks there. what a joke...................

 

[Direwolf63]

To me, Clinton Portis should be falling. After his first carry went for 30 yards, he did nothing. Completely disappeared.

 

[Hoofbite]

When you are consistently hammering the snot out of a QB not getting sacks isn't the end of the world

Leftwich took a whoopin. If that game would have went another quarter, they might have had to stretcher Leftwich out.

Plus, he made out like Rich Seubert was facing Haynesworth all alone. Haynesworth was dominating his part of the line of scrimmage.

Seubert was left one-on-one with Haynesworth on just about every play, and he stoned Big Al for the most part. Seubert didn't move Haynesworth, but there weren't many plays where Haynesworth got enough penetration to make a difference.

I did miss the first Giants drive because of the early game, so I might have missed something from that drive.

Mosley has admitted on the radio he didn't even see the Cowboys play.

your right...he and Galloway were arguing about both teams having faults with their wins (Mosley for Giants and Galloway for Cowboys) and he admitted he didnt even see the game.....and further more he said the Giants didnt have any faults Sunday and the other guy with Galloway pointed out this very article where he had the The Giants' third-and-short offense as a fault ...Mosley got all high ptched arguing...sounded like the nerd he is....

I actually thought Haynesworth played well... The Giants had early sucess running the ball but they didn't get much after the 1st quarter.

Yup, I second the notion...clearly would have been sacked and was clearly held.

 

[Ken]

I worry a little about Albert lining up over Kosier but I am encouraged by the fact that Andre and BIGG will pummell him if he goes anywhere near them...

There's definitely a dropoff when he's out of the game. But he didn't get doubled that much. The Giants most often put Seubert on him and ran to the opposite side. Then Haynesworth ran out of gas towards the end, missing 11 of the final 20 plays of the game, not counting kneeldowns.

Here's my semi-objective play-by-play starting from the first play that Fox aired in my area on Sunday:

1q2:38 2-12 NYG 39 on the sidelines
1q1:53 1-10 Was 39 on the sidelines
1q1:24 1-10 Was 12 Bull rush - Seubert driven back 8 yards. O'Hara over to help, they seal him off and Eli completes to Smith for 7
1q0:45 2-3 Was 10 Gets a yard or two penetration but Seubert seals him off on-on-one. Jacobs for 2
1q0:01 3-1 Was 8 Seubert blocks him off the snap and he falls down. Jacobs no gain.
2q15:00 4-1 Was 8 Seubert and Diehl attempt to double, but Seubert gets too far upfield. Haynesworth scrapes the line and stops Jacobs inches short of the first down. Nice play by Haynesworth, and huge for the Skins with the game 3-0 NYG. Haynesworth slow to get up.

2q13:20 1-10 Was 44 Seubert chips and heads to the second level to seal McIntosh. Diehl is slow to pick up Haynesworth, who scrapes and is just a little too slow to catch Bradshaw on a run to the offensive right side (away from Haynesworth). Bradshaw for 2 yards.
2q12:47 2-8 Was 42 Singled by Seubert, Haynesworth get some penetration but isn't in on the tackle. Bradshaw no gain. Nice play by Haynesworth.
2q11:50 3-8 Was 42 Singled by Seubert, Haynesworth bull rushes, Seubert trips over Jacobs, but the ball is gone on a three count and Haynesworth can't get to Manning. Complete for 9 to Hixon.
2q11:10 1-10 Was 33 on the sidelines
2q11:04 2-10 Was 33 on the sidelines. Interesting that NYG call a timeout and Haynesworth is still on the sidelines when Fox returns from the break.
2q10:25 3-7 Was 30 Singled by Diehl. Gets some push, but the ball is out quick. Manningham for 30 yards and a TD.

2q8:19 1-10 NYG 25 Singled by Seubert. Gets some push on the pass rush but is handled by Seubert. Comfortable pocket for Manning who completes to Smith for 13
2q7:40 1-10 NYG 38 Singled by Seubert. Seubert handled him well. Complete to Jacobs for 9
2q7:00 2-1 NYG 47 Seubert pulls, O'Hara slides over to take Haynesworth, and Diehl chips him before peeling off to pick off the DE, who is in backside pursuit. Aikman says something stupid about Haynesworth blowing up Seubert, but really it was Diehl choosing to peel off that made it look like he got pushed back. Bradshaw off right tackle for 9. Haynesworth looks tired.
2q6:15 1-10 Was 44 Singled by Seubert. Pushes Seubert back a yard and manages a leg tackle on Bradshaw, who falls forward for 3. Good play for Haynesworth on a run away from him.
2q5:27 2-7 Was 41 Seubert heads to the second level as Diehl picks up Haynesworth, who spins and runs into a pulling Snee. The play was a counter, though, and Bradshaw runs to the right for 8. The Giants are running away from Haynesworth.

3q8:25 2-1 NYG 28 Blocked by Seubert, gets little penetration before Jacobs chips at the end. Manning goes downfield incomplete.
3q8:16 3-1 NYG 28 Singled by Seubert. Pushes Seubert back a half yard on the run, but it doesn't affect the play, which is blown up by a run blitz. Horton drops Jacobs for a loss of 5

3q3:42 1-10 NYG 10 Singled by Seubert. They stand each other up, and he slides off to get a hand on Jacobs, who falls for 2. Run was at Haynesworth.
3q3:00 2-8 NYG 12 Singled by Seubert. Gets almost no push, but Carter pressures Manning who throws an interception to Hall.

3q0:43 1-10 NYG 29 Singled by Seubert. Haynesworth pushes him back and drops Bradshaw for a 2 yard loss. Haynesworth looked dominant on the play.

I watched the frist half and the Giants had a guard and center on Haynesworth much of the time and they were both moving backwards. I'm not a fan of his and I think he's a "contract year" player, but in that first half he was always at least a yard into the Giants backfield.
