Offensive Playcall Concerns

Saint_LB · 10-05-2009, 07:23 AM

I don't think anything has changed much with Payton...once a gambler always a gambler. I watch the Giants a lot and there is no doubt in my mind that Coughlin would have opted for the FG's in those situations. If Carney can't make 'em from 47, then we need to get Hartley back. (I'm a Carney fan, though, and I think he would've nailed it.)

The difference, however, is the defense...and anyone who denies it hasn't been paying attention. I love the style of defense we are playing now and wonder why it took so long. In the past, the defense would've folded and Payton would pay for his risk-taking, but this defense has his back.

This team is for real.

Carney can make 53. Saw him do it a couple of times yesterday easily, and I think he's stable enough to do the same thing in a game that he does in warmups.

Wasnt Hartley missing extra points in preseason?

hartley went 2 for 4 on FG attempts before his suspension this preseason

carney went 1 for 2 on FG attempts in the preseason

now carney has already missed a field goal in the regular season

im not saying payton doesnt trust carney.....but coaches know when to take the points and when we were only a TD up it was smarter to take the points....we didnt kick it and i think thats because of paytons lack of trust in carney
