Giants' Rookie Punter Hopes to Dodge Bears' [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Their defense allowed 60 points the past two games, both one-sided defeats. Their quarterback has thrown six interceptions and is without his injured center and favorite downfield target. So the New York Giants need another headache like the Upper Midwest needs more rain. But that's just what Chicago brings to town on Sunday in the person of peerless return man [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Asked what he has told inconsistent rookie punter Matt Dodge about how to deal with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Giants coach Tom Coughlin said, "Kick it out of bounds. Don't let him have the ball."
Not only did [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] take a punt back 62 yards to help beat Green Bay on Monday, moving him within one of ex-Giant Brian Mitchell's NFL career record of 13 touchdowns, but he torched New York with a record-tying 108-yard return of a missed field goal in 2006. That defeat, the first of four in a row, reversed the course of the season for the Giants who were 6-2 before facing [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and 2-6 the rest of the way. The Bears went on to win the NFC title.
New York kept [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in check in its 21-16 victory at Chicago the following December en route to winning the Super Bowl, but Coughlin hasn't forgotten the big play from 2006 and the coach knows that his punt coverage team is ranked 24th in the league and that Dodge has yet to master the art of directional punting that kept his predecessor Jeff Feagles in the league for 22 years.
"([link widoczny dla zalogowanych]'s) like water," said Clint Sintim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who covers punts for the Giants. "You've just got to do your best to try to hold him back a little bit. He can't harm you if he don't have the ball. God forbid that he gets it, we've got to make some tackles. We've got to do our best to contain him and minimize his impact."
The only good news for Big Blue is that special teams captain Chase Blackburn is expected to play after missing the past two games with a sprained knee. Dodge, having heard Coughlin loud and clear, hopes that Blackburn, the top special teams tackler the past five seasons, won't even be a factor on punts.
"The best strategy isn't to gang-tackle ([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])," Dodge said. "It's to just don't give him a chance to be tackled."
