Satisfying and wow! Decent kick.
The run has been there all day. If they had stuck to it earlier, it might not be this situation.
If they passed more successfully it would have never come to that.
You people are fucking incredible
This is one of the dumbest posts of the year. Did you even watch the game? Are you going to be a Pederson apologist like you were with Andy Reid.
O yeah, as pointed out by some - the running game got going only after Wizniewski came in.
Unless he started that is not completely accurate. Blount was having his way in the 1st quarter. He had some really good runs and we did not see him for a while. Going into the 4th quarter he only had 11 carries.
Wizniewski came in on the 3rd series.
Why Blount went missing in the middle of the game, I do not know... By and large they continued running though...
Just looked at the game-book on NFL.com; Running game got going only in the 3rd series...
I am pleased with the run commitment but Pederson's personnel were brutal today. We could have beat the Giants into submission with Blount.
That should make the starter selection for next week easy.
Might look that way (due to the physicality with which Blount runs), but Smallwood had the same average as Blount. Also, it was extremely hot out there, maybe trying to keep Blount somewhat fresh, by rotating him with Smallwood?
Quick glance at the gamebook seems he mixed up run and pass quite nicely...
I can see that argument but I honestly don't think that is why he did it. Smallwood was in the game for a lot more snaps than Blount. His runs in the 4th qtr upped his YPC. Up until that point Blount had him beat by 2 yards more per carry. The first goal to go situation Blount did not take a single snap yet smallwood got 2 runs and did jack shit. Second series Blount made it look easy and that is my point.
No idea if he did or not... Smallwood and Blount both ended up with 12 runs, BTW. Also, Smallwood seems to be in better shape than Blount... especially with this weather.
True and I do think that smallwood is better at picking up the blitz. I just think that a pound game would have made it easier. Hopefully Pederson will figure this out. I still think he was really bad in his personnel decisions. And we also have to concede that the Giants do have a very good defense.
BTW, statistically that call on 4th and 8 was the right decision. Defense had been playing great as well to that point.
