After last Sunday’s embarrassing performance, during which the Seahawks receivers found themselves wide open on at least four touchdowns, it certainly seems like something that needs to be addressed. Strangely, the Giants are citing the off-season loss of… Brent Alexander(!) as a big factor in their defensive confusion. Apparently, Alexander, despite his declining physical skills, was very knowledgeable about Tim Lewis’ defense and would direct his secondary-mates before the snap. Will Demps, who stepped into Alexander’s role this year, is new to the system, and admitted that he hasn’t done the best job of quarterbacking the secondary. It’s been a bad start, but look at it this way: there are a lot of things about this team that you can reasonably expect will substantially improve as the year goes on.

And he did Coughlin a favor by becoming the scapegoat for Sunday. The real problem is that Coughlin's disciplinary style only works when the team wins. All the yelling and cursing doesn't work for a team that sucks. The question I would like answered is why Shockey has been relegated to a blocking tight end? I mean it seems like this guy has totally been taken out of the equation. Greg, your thoughts? Eh, like I said before, what Shockey said wasn’t the huge deal that everyone has made it.
