One of the best plays I've seen JG designed...

[Hook'em#11]

OK, it was a good play, so what? One good play among a littany of many other bad plays does not cut it for me, sorry!

For a team that has done a pizz-poor job executing in the red-zone all season, this one play hardly absolves the coordinator. In fact it helps support the argumnet that poor red-zone execution is not necessarily the players' faults.

This play was well executed because it was well designed - set up well by the coordinator - finally. For once the coordinator did the baiing, unlike the hundreds of other failed red-zone plays that the coordinaor gets baited into by defenses, thus, not allowing player execution to have a fair chance of happening.

What this one play does is prove that continued offensive success falls on Garrett before the players. These players have battled injury all season and have still stepped up. Now it's up to the coordinator to not onl step up but stay up. So far he has not proven that he can. At least now he has the chance to do it and PROVE his contractual worth.

???? I said I liked the play and the players executed. I have no intention of nameing my newborn Jason Garrett. Settle down.

No ****. And it STILL falls on the players to execute. I am not a Garrett nutswinger by no means, wanted him gone last season. But, I am sure that the plays are drawn up nicely, but not executed well by the players. That was my only point.

While I can agree that the playcalling has been bad in the redzone. The players still have to be held accountable on those plays. And that just seems to be missing when it comes to this team. Except for Romo. He gets blamed no matter what, even for stuff he can't control. But, the other players seem to get a free ride and it's always the coaches or coordinators.

Even though Dallas was having a poor day running, the Giants bit ALL OVER that fake. Kind of makes sense to stick with the run even if things are struggling, doesn't it?

.

Absolutely! We should run more play action from under the center especially in 1st and 2nd regardless of distance (most of the time). As fans we call for more runs and other teams knows we will run so more often than not, play action will work.

I remember the days of Aikman play action and throws to Irvin. Man, I miss those great timing routes.

Glad it worked...now I hope it's the last time we see Miles Austin line up at tailback.
