'Monday Night Football' preview: What to watch for in Giants-Buccaneers

 

[Faust]

Bucs declared DT Vita Vea, S Andrew Adams, WR Antonio Brown, OL Nick Leverett, LS Carson Tinker and QB Kyle Trask out for Week 11 against the Giants.

Brown was previously ruled out while Vea was always considered unlikely to play so neither absence comes as a surprise. Tyler Johnson will operate as the team's WR3 for this game. Johnson has some deep FLEX appeal but is more of a single-game DFS option than a reliable season-long player.

Giants declared WR Sterling Shepard, FB Cullen Gillaspia, S Nate Ebner, OLB Oshane Ximines, OLB Lorezno Carter, G Wes Martin and TE Kaden Smith inactive for Week 11 against the Bucs.

Shepard is dealing with a quad issue and was ruled out on Saturday. He got in a limited practice on Friday so he's likely closing in on a return already. Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay should be expected to step up versus Tampa Bay's pass-funnel defense. Both players are worth taking shots on as WR3/4 options with Toney owning a higher ceiling.

Giants at Buccaneers predictions: Point spread, total, player props, trends for 'Monday Night Football'

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Vita Vea OUT should open up some running lanes for the Giants

 

[The Frankman]

Time to ball tonight! Looking forward to seeing Saquon back and the Giants back to the scene of Daniel Jones' first 'win'.

 

[The Big Donkey]

G-men at #5 and #6 in in next years draft with a loss or 1 game out of the wildcard with a win.    i'd go with the former.   thanks bears.

 

[Insein]

Wow. That was fast. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Exactly what I wanted

 

[wgoldsph]

Completely untouched there

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Completely untouched there

It looked like the Safety moved up for the Giants on a blitz and Brady just turned and flicked the quick screen out to Godwin who cut it inside and there was nobody home at that point. He picked up a pretty good block somewhere near the LOS as soon as he caught the ball. 

 

[rockaction]

Wait! What channel is the game on???

 

[rockaction]

Oh, ESPN, dummy. It's Monday.

 

[wgoldsph]

If anyone knows where the manningcast is online I'd love you

 

[wgoldsph]

Big body catch by Goliday.  Needs to do that more.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Giants run a wishbone like formation and Barkley right up the gut for 8 yds on 1st down, Vita Vea of course is out so that type of run might be there for the Giants interior OL.

might be the only team with 2 fullbacks on the roster.   

 

[wgoldsph]

Where's the defense?

 

[Insein]

Thought the same thing, Peyton. RT jumped. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Giants Right Tackle moves and it wasn't called, but they nailed the Bucs for DPi on the same play, nice

 

[wgoldsph]

We need to give points for the WR when they get a pi.

 

[Insein]

Terrible play call. 

 

[wgoldsph]

That's why I think Jones is a bad QB.  He is inaccurate when he's scared.   At least now he's inaccurate out of the way of the opposing team.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Where's the defense?

In the locker room so far

 

[Sam Quentin]

I don’t get why the Giants switch personnel every play

it must be hard to find any rhythm 

 

[The Big Donkey]

That's why I think Jones is a bad QB.  He is inaccurate when he's scared.   At least now he's inaccurate out of the way of the opposing team.

imo, it's been hard to evaluate him.    offensive line has been less than optimal while he's been here.      throw it away when nothing is there looks like the right move.

 

[wgoldsph]

Then he's probably at least in danger of being broken by the fact he's never played with an offense as well.

 

[The Frankman]

Giants cannot keep playing 2 Deep Safety like this, Brady will dink and dunk all night.

Missing two TDs on that last drive didn't help. He's locked on his 1st read.

 

[wgoldsph]

Zzzzzz

This game is already over.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Fast moving 1st Quarter, didn't start until 8:15-8:20?

 

[SengerCJ]

Not sure what prompted the Buccs to try out their home tops with white bottoms but I hope they don’t do it again. 

 

[SengerCJ]

Zzzzzz

This game is already over.

Tampa’s defense might have something to say about that. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Giants cannot keep playing 2 Deep Safety like this, Brady will dink and dunk all night.

Good point but I was just thinking as good as the Bucs have looked, they kick a FG or have an oops on one of these next plays, they have dominated on offense but their Defense looks like they need Brady to score on almost every drive right now. 

The difference between an early blowout and the gIants hanging around is thinner than one would think.

They look terrific, as Fournette gobbles up his 4th catch of the night

 

[The Frankman]

... that should never happen. Disgusting.

Jones is already skittish.   I'm seeing a 3-out next drive.

 

[scottybo]

"that was a slight vertical leap" 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Brady hurdles and runs for a first down, great job!e

 

[wgoldsph]

Wooooooaaa

 

[sho nuff]

Did Brady slide in spikes up towards that guy?  Would have been red carded in soccer.  Defender also would have acted like he lost his leg for 5 minutes.

 

[Lehigh98]

Should that have been a yellow card or a straight red on Brady there?

 

[SengerCJ]

Pretty sure I slipped out a little turd watching Tom scramble like that. 

 

[SengerCJ]

To each their own, the combo just looks very off to me

 

[The Frankman]

Giants at some point need to shut down the short game. It's 1 on 1 Evans and Bradberry, it's the type of WR he can do well against. Flood the short zone.

EDIT: And on 3rd down that was a 3 man rush, complete zone flood. Love it.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pretty sure I slipped out a little turd watching Tom scramble like that. 

He was hurdling defenders, I didn't know he could jump off the ground like that. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Tom Brady doesn't jump off the ground, the ground moves away from Tom Brady.

 

[The Big Donkey]

that was spot on with the mannings...rush 3 drop 8 call.

 

[The Frankman]

The announcers putting Golladay on blast when Daniel Jones refuses to throw his way is an interesting take.

 

[wgoldsph]

And 3 and out like I said.

 

[Sam Quentin]

I don’t get why the Giants switch personnel every play

it must be hard to find any rhythm 

I think the MNF guy who does the graphic for on field personnel gave up…

 

[wgoldsph]

Wow, hernandez just gave up

Totally gave up.
