Giants vs. Seahawks

The Giants are what we thought they were.  They are a mediocre team on pace for a 5-6 win season.  The defense looked apathetic in allowing the Seahawks to run all over them.  Yes, they are a depleted team due to injuries, but that second half was the worst half of football I’ve seen played in a long time.  Amazingly, they hung tough in the first half. They are missing a healthy Beason and even missed Cullen Jenkins, but nothing excuses the performance.  It’s hard to see Perry Fewell surviving with his job next year.  The lack of talent at LB is an issue. CB will be fine next year when the injured return, but safety will be an issue.  The line is perplexing.  I can’t understand why they play Kiwi so much.  He should clearly be behind both Ayers and Moore who still can’t seem to sniff the field.  Moore managed only 3 snaps and actually produced good results on two of them.

Equally as bad is the way Lynch ran over them was the schematic deficiency that allowed Wilson to run around them.  With Kaepernick coming up this week, the Niners game plan is already in place.  The offensive running game is horrific.  I have to admit I was wrong on Williams.  I was high on him and it was a bad call. Despite his strength and speed, he lacks vision.  He misses the holes (though admittedly there aren’t enough of them), so it will be interesting to see what Jennings can do when he returns.  Schwartz should also return soon to replace Jerry on the Offensive line.  Neither of these will help a defense who lost players for the rest of the year.  It’s not clear where defensive improvement will come from.
