Talonblood Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The Giants practiced against stopping a gimmick offense. It worked:So after all the dust had settled and the lowly Giants kicked the Eagles butts, here is what the Giants said about the Eagles offense and Jalen Hurts:(I'll paraphrase, then put the link for you to read the actual verbiage.)The gist of what the Giants head coach said: The Eagles offense with Hurts is a gimmick, so we practiced stopping that gimmick. We decided the make Hurts beat us with his arm, not his feet. We forced him to pass, thinking we could win the game if we did that. He runs well, but he sucks as passing QB.https://www.phillyvoice.com/john-mcmullen-eagles-giants-jalen-hurts-nick-sirianni-jalen-reagor-boston-scott/ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 That dude shouldn’t be opening his month. Whether he’s right about Hurts is irrelevant. Guy has no business being an NFL head coach, and after they lose out the rest of the way he could be canned. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike030270 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Giants didn't stop anything though We could run on them with ease but stopped after Kelce got injured. Once Kelce was back we could still run on them with ease 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference in this game is Hurts passing was far worse than in the last five games 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I’ll give the Giants credit for one thing and that was figuring out on RPO plays they can hit the quarterback and that’s what they did. Don’t see how he can talk trash. His offense was pathetic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference in this game is Hurts passing was far worse than in the last five games It was but Hurts hasn’t thrown it 31 times in a long time, plus Gainwell was their leading receiver with 3 receptions. They’ll see on tape why Smith and Goedert weren’t targeted very much but this game except for the running yards, was the antithesis of the previous 4 games. Hurts had 50 more passing yards against Denver and he only threw it 23 times that game. His average yardage for passes caught was 4.2, that has to be the worst in his career, or close to it. He was awful yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants did an okay job on D, but Hurts would have had over a hundred yards rushing if it wasn’t for another needless Herbig penalty. Eagles beat the Eagles, not the Giants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The giants had no run game, and like 260 yards of total offense. They got 4 turnovers and I don’t think they converted any of them into points. They scored 13 points. They weren’t good at all. If they were they should’ve won by 30. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 They did what any smart coaching staff would do ... come up with a game plan that exploits an opponent's weakness. Everyone knows Hurts isn't a polished passer (being nice here). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitbased Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The gimmick offense would've won if our receivers would actually catch the ball. I was expecting a stinker during this soft part of our schedule so it'll be interesting to see how we rebound from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Kelce was back we could still run on them with ease True. They did beat the hell out of Hurts while he ran the ball, though. He is so beat up, right now he is questionable for the Jets game. Other teams will be doing the same. He is going to really start to get punished by defenses now. We'll see how it goes. If Defenses can't stop him by scheme, they are just going to try to bet the hell out of him to slow him down. The Giants did just that. Gotta be more of a passing QB to avoid that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got away from it. Agreed … outside of QB we ran for 131 yards (on 25 attempts … 5.2 yds/carry). If you add in the rushing yards by Hurts that number jumps to 208 yards. Sirianni should have stayed run heavy like he had been the past few games when we won 3 of 4 … we were running at a rate of 66%. We were right around 50% yesterday (if counting rushing attempts by Hurts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe he laid off the run a bit because Sanders was in and out of the game so it left him with one dependable starter that can get yards up the middle in Scott. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vileborg Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 It's a Gimmick until enough teams do it. Several other teams have already gone run heavy and are seeing the same or better success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwieagle Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Giants are a crap team. Two boneheaded red zone turnovers and four in total are the main reason why we lost the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
