I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING...GIANTS VS. EAGLES

That's right, it's me! Transmitting live from 1982, right here at the famous Big Barry's in Rocky Point.








And I know what you're thinking...






How can the Giants blow this one?

"Say it ain't so!"

Here's how, and this one comes from your local AM sports radio caller, which reminds me of a thought I once had about what's worse...Being one of those guys who's a regular caller on sports talk radio shows, like Jimmy from Baldwin something like that, or being one of the guys who's always calling but never gets on the air?

Giants all week say they're preparing for Michael Vick.  Hey, here's an idea, how about preparing for all of their QBs?  Perhaps because the Giants always get torched by back-up quarterbacks.

Vince Young may get even younger thinking about the magical comeback he had way back when he convinced Mathias Kiwanuka, during the play mind you, that William Joseph had said all kinds of rude stuff about Kiwanuka's mother on the last play at the line of scrimmage.  See for yourself (Hint: It's at the :35 mark).

And what about this Mike Kafka guy?  I see he's averaging 1 INT a season.  Still, The Giants need to watch out for these guys. They have barely any film on the guy.  I'm just saying...That's when the eagles utilize all of their other weapons.  They have a ton of guys who can run the ball.  Steve Smith is looking for redemption (or maybe a job back with the Giants).

Also, the last time I checked, DeSean Jackson is pretty good at returning kicks.  How about not kicking it to him?

Now I just got the word from one of the Big Barry's bartenders that Young is definitely starting on Sunday for the Eagles.  Coughlin, Fewell, please tell me you're preparing for this guy AND Kafka too. Chances are you're going to see both of them.

Now, Gilbride.

You're my next victim.

I know what you're thinking...




"How am I still here?"




I'll tell you how...

By every now and then pulling out a few dazzlers that wow the crowd.  You may know nothing of consistency or you may know it all too well, but the one thing you do know about, is timing.  Hey, sure, it wasn't your crew that blew that lead last year, or have let running backs rush on the Giants all year long thus far.  How about we take a look at what works and make that happen in an unpredictable manner.

Pump Fakes...Work -- Use them sparingly [do i have to spell it out Kevin?  On first down or a crucial third down.  they're good for goal line stuff every once in a while too].

Cruz....Works -- Just not on ordinary plays, that's what Manningham, Barden and Nicks are for.

Da-Rel Scott screen passes....Work -- Incorporate them into the game plan

Ballard up the middle....Works -- So don't use it too often, instead throw him the out routes to continue a drive.

Here's a thought, why not run a two man backfield set with Ballard at the TE spot, Nicks on one side and Manningham on the other side every once in a while?  Seems pretty unpredictable.

This one is going to be some kind of game.

Go Big Blue!
