Randall Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Giants at Packers 2. Packers RB Ryan Grant vs. Giants MLB Antonio Pierce: Pierce led the team in tackles with 12 the first time these teams met, but Grant didn't have a carry in that game. Grant is terrific running the outside zone stretch play and cutting it back. Pierce can't afford to over-run the play and find himself out of position. Patience is the key against Grant and then solid tackling, which Pierce does well. Grant should get 25-30 carries, and Pierce needs to be in on 80 percent of the tackles. 5. Packers CB Charles Woodson vs. Giants WR Plaxico Burress: Burress deserves a lot of credit for playing through an injury all year long. He really can't get deep like he did earlier in the season. Burress did have a touchdown reception the first time these teams met, but he only has five receptions for 43 yards and zero TDs in the playoffs. Look for Woodson to play him tight to take away the slant and dare him to go deep. Green Bay plays more man-to-man coverage than any team left in the playoffs. And that other game.

Bronco Billy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Grant should get 25-30 carries, and Pierce needs to be in on 80 percent of the tackles. I love guys who simply don't understand numbers trying to use them. So Grant gets 30 carries and Pierce needs to be in on 80% of the tackles? Hmmmm... 30X0.80 = 24 So we can expect 24 solos + assists from Pierce in the game? Edited January 17, 2008 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked to see Pierce get 12-15 combined given the conditions, but that's just nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Grant gets 30 carries and Pierce needs to be in on 80% of the tackles? Hmmmm... 30X0.80 = 24 So we can expect 24 solos + assists from Pierce in the game? That isn't what he was saying. He was saying be patient and hold your ground. Other people can make the tackles but he needs to be there and help control his area. When a runner gets stopped by 4-5 players often(depending on the official scorer) some players don't get assists at all. Look at some games and few assists are awarded at all. Pierce needs to prevent over running the play and control his area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 That isn't what he was saying. Okay. I've read it twice now. That's exactly what he said. It's kind of like when "experts" say that a RB needs to average 30 carries a game for the season. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the game.

Bronco Billy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Don't think he said 24 solo's but "IN ON" 24 tackles I don't think I said 24 solo tackles either, professor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
