Giants/Falcons Review

The Good:
- Atlanta's last 10 possessions ended in 7 punts, missed field goal, int, turn-over-on-downs. That is what the Giants had to do in the second half.

-Eli to Plax deep. The was a pretty ball.

-Eli on third and medium-to-long, he did a really nice job here using Toomer, Plax and Shockey.

-Offensive line...especially on running plays. It looks like the Giants can insert anyone back there.

-The defensive line tallied 4 sacks total (one was actually from Pierce), but they also had a great push on some key running plays that resulted in tackles for loss.

The Not So Good:
-Eli is still throwing the one or two balls a game into lock-down coverage. On the INT where he was trying to get to Plax over the middle, I counted quadruple coverage. The other INT was just under-thrown, I thought Toomer had a step.

-Jacobs needs to be able to get through a game without injury. Defenders are always going at him low, he needs to prove that won't be an issue throughout his career.

-Speed, throughout the Coughlin and Fassel eras the Giants have had a huge problem tackling speed. Norwood burned the entire team on that run in the first quarter.

Next up: San Fran at home. It was reported earlier that Alex Smith would return to the starting role for this game. I am not sure if that is still the case.
