On the offensive side of the ball, they have gotten too predictable. They run the off-tackle play to Jacobs a lot with either the tight-end of the fullback in motion. There is a lack or creativity with Killbride (Killdrive) calling the plays. On 3rd and short there is no need to get 30 yards. Just get to the marker. This has gone on for the last few weeks. It's been more than frustrating.
To have Hixon start over Nicks is baffling to me. Hixon is fast, but he doesn't get a lot of separation from corners. Nicks can get the separation but for some reason, Hixon seems to be higher on the depth chart.
On the defensive side the loss of Kenny Phillips is being shown. C.C. Brown lives up to his nickname of Can't Cover. Not having Ross out hurts as well. The two points I want to highlight are the linebacker core and the playcalling.
The linebackers look slow! With Boley out they look big and slow. You want LB's to look athletic and fast. Guys that can cover sideline to sideline. Clark and Pierce are getting up there in age and Blackburn is slow.
As for the playcalling Sheridan doesn't like to blitz. He rushes with 4 and usually ask then to run a stunt. The few times he does blitz on back to back back plays he'll get very conservative and sit in zone and that's how we get picked apart.
Lack of creativity + lack of personel changes = Giant losses.
