- An uninspired second half of offense left me feeling flatter than I did after the boy’s one loss of the season. At least then I could blame three missing QB’s, a late 4th QB and a dearth of safeties. No, this offensive blackout was 100% lack of effort on our part along with an unwillingness to pay attention and throw the ball where I told them.
- The Giants have apparently released Ahmad Bradshaw and Michael Boley, two of my favorite G-man players. This has serious implications. In fact, it means the Giants are comfortable with letting emotionally leaders go in order to clear cap space and give some of the younger guys a chance. Nobody is safe. Well, nobody except Eli. He’s all the way safe I’d bet.
- One of those potential releases is Osi. His agent is already chatting up the Jets as a way to keep the big O in the Bigger Apple. Now I am okay with that, but I do wonder if Osi is going to be okay with still being a situational back. His style of game seems less suited for the 3-4. Of course, the Jets are in patchwork mode and could be taking several G-man casualties. I fully expect to see Ahmad Bradshaw in green as part of a backfield that could also include Reggie Bush.
- Getting back to the sadness over the win, I am worried that the offense I put together is totally flaming out. I have a few players who are struggling with focus and others who are just physically unable to live up to the demands of the game in the way I coach it. Now we are going into the game of the season on a two-game win streak but really flat on offense. I need to find a spark right away, but I don’t know for sure what that spark is. I may need to move my own kid to the other squad as a way to add the spark. No matter the call, it is going to be an interesting weekend.
