egoprime II Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 One thing about the Giants game I noticed. Snelling came in late in the game and was running the ball like he was on a mission. True the Giants' D had been on the field for awhile, so they were probably tired out some, but still...those runs by Jason put a big-time punctuation mark on that dominating win.Snelling has been effective with those inside shovel passes all year. He also was very effective a couple years back when Turner was out. Is it time for Snelling to get the ball a bit more often earlier in games?

Wise up Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 That last run where he bumbled through giants players at the end was beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I say we do what we did in the Giants game. Just keep spreading the ball out to everyone. Use all 4 backs , the receivers , the TEs , the Fullback , everyone. We keep the ball spread that much defenses will not be able to stop it. There are simply to many options on where to go.

I was ecstatic to see Smith get a carry. To bad it was called back from a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koetter did an excellent job of opening stuff up. I like the way he is running backs out there for entire series. Kinda puts it on them to earn more playing time, but gives them some plays for rhythm purposes.But, regardless if we win Super Bowl, we need to either draft or sign a replacement for turner. He is just a plodding guy with skillet hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think a lot of that had to do with a tired defense that knew the game was well over and wasn't giving 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newgafatboy Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Snelling has been a little nicked up this season. he is a really underrated do it all back. we have all complained about Turner this year me included, but at least he is healthy. going into the playoffs with all the back healthy, fresh with out any dead legs i think is gonna be huge.

It seems like has more burst with the strength. Could be huge asset if used correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Did the giants have backups in?No, but they had clearly given up on the previous drive (the one that ended with Julio's second TD catch). Half the defense had no interest in stopping Snelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Snelling might not be getting carries in the running game but he does get passes on crucial 3rd and 4th down.Snelling gets couple of short passes a game which go for 10-12 yards.

Andre5000 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I would have MUCH rather used him on the 3rd and short than that stupid *** empty backfield reverse to Harry Douglass play we ran. What a jackazz play-call that was. Moose and Goose even called that a fail before it happened . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightsaidfred Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Did the giants have backups in?I don't think they did. But what is so damm frustrating is that JS has come into games and performed like this before, and still got relegated back to the bench. I dunno. IMO - for next year, give me Snelling and Rodgers and we're in good shape with the two different styles and both have the more aggressive running style. Plus - they can both catch the football, so regardless of who's in the game, the screen is always in play. In other words, the other team wouldn't sniff out a screen because ATL brought in their "pass catching RB".........

But to your point:Snelling - 2 lost fumbles in 310 carries = fumble lost every 155 carriesTurner - 10 lost fumbles in 1585 carries = fumble lost every 158.5 carries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Quizz doesn't get enough touches and after the first series of a game, neither does Turner. I wouldn't worry about Snelling's workload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJmusic Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't know about that, but what does it matter if we retain possession?Only because the ones that were retained could be lost. I love Snelling, I just notice that ball pops out more than I would like. I am just getting nitpicky, not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exar0s Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yea, you can't really credit Snelling too much due to the fact Snelling was rested while the Giants defense was tired embarrassed and just wanted the game to end. I still think we should use Snelling more but you can't use this garbage time two minute drill as credit. He should replace Turner on short yard situations non the less. he just runs with so much more attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' In DC Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I would bet that Smitty lit up the meetings rooms last week. I guarantee the coaches were not happy how the team played against Carolina. This whole team played with an attitude against the Giants.I will actually be at my in-laws in Michigan on Saturday not getting in til after the game starts.(wish I had tickets) so hopefully I will be able to rub it in a little bit when the Falcons run all over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
