Jon Beason on the talents of Ward and Jacobs and their 301 yards:
"I hate you asked that question," Beason said. "The politically correct thing to say is they're a great combination of running backs -- really good backs. And they are. But based on the film, of the 300 yards, let's say, uh, 250 were on us. That's how I'll answer that question."

you have to remember though mr beason,

brandon jacobs is playing on basically one leg. he looked horrible last night…thank God for these 3 weeks off. the panthers did not see the giants running game at full strength.

I knew the G-men wouldn't like the comment

but honestly I think Beason was just more frustrated in his defensive performance. Doesn’t a good defensive player always believe he’s better than the opposition?

There were missed tackles

which is what I think he was referring to. I would have to disagree Jacobs looked horrible…on his way to 80 yards and 3 TD’s.

power backs vs fast backs

Jacobs looked fine. The Panthers have been good at stopping big power backs… remember LJ’s -2 yards? They have struggled against quick shifty backs. Same scenario Sunday.

I think Beason is right about Ward’s yards, they just weren’t in position. But you could tell Jacobs earned every one of his.

Beasons comments were not intended for Giants fans

they were intended for his team mates. “Take responsibility for your actions” was the message.

I found these comments in response to Beasons comments on Charlotte.com

While I was watching the game, I noticed our linebackers were committing to gaps before the running back committed to one. All Ward had to do was wait for the LB to commit, then run through a different gap. Over and over again.

That’s the point, there were too many gaps to fill. The DT’s were being handled man-up and not filling gaps. When they do their job there’s fewer (if any) gaps to pick from.
