We were suppose to blitz all the time this season only to play scared football. Case in point, the Giants drive on us right before the half. We only rushed 3-4 and played a soft zone.
Id give this guy Spagnola credit, hes fearless. He does not have the personal from the LB core out tha most teams have but does that deter him? When they played us they got right in our face and jammed the crap out of us and brought about 6 guys on every down in the process. It worked. It lead to false stars, uncertainty and most important we were never comfortable. We, on the other hand, played 12 yards off on almost every play and they killed us. Eli was relaxed and they beat us.
I loved his gameplan tonight. On certain plays he would double Moss; however, when he thought the play was for Welker he doubled him and singled Moss. Basically, he guessed and chanced it alot. Down on the goaline was a perfect example. The first play they appeared to double Moss only to come off him and double Welker. Welker was exactly where Brady wanted to go and he threw the ball away. It did come back and haunt him on third down when they singled Moss and he scored. However, I love the fearless mantaility and if were going down I rather go down like this than giving teams easy 10 yards on every down. For example,
Newman you have Moss and your going to have to play him singled up half the time. Double Welker and single Stalliworth and blitz the crap out of Brady and make him uneasy. We could also flip coverages and put Newman on Welker and double Moss etc. My point is the teams that played the Gmen in the playoffs had no idea what coverage they were going to do and how many they were sending. That makes the offense uneasy. Our scheme makes QB;s feel like there in club med. We are so predicatable. No one can say anything about personell either because this guy won playoff games with practice squad players in the secondary. Say what you want in return but the Gmen beat us , the Pack and the Patriots in a 3 week span. In that time all of the high powered offenses were shut down. If anyone disagrees all I have to say is Giants 1 ring us zero in this era. In the process they went through three teams with a combine record of 42-6 in the reg season. That speaks volumes. Opinions, and Im not trying to hate on Phillps but we played whey too darn scared this year where the Gmen let it all hang out. There personell is not better than ours either in the secondary.
