Revenge Must Have Been Sweet For Sage Rosenfels

PrintIt may have slipped your mind, but Sage Rosenfels was in town last Sunday as QB2 for the New York Giants. You've probably blocked out what happened to our beloved Texans that afternoon (Thanks, Bushmills!), as well you should have. But did you know that the man who gave the world the Rosencopter may have played a bigger role in the abject failure of the Houston offense than anyone could have imagined?
From Lance Zierlein's Twitter (h/t the always industrious Rivers McCown):
Sage Rosenfels told Giants coaches about EVERYTHING the Texans would do offensively which is one of the reasons the Giants shut down Texans
That info came straight from a source of Granato's who spoke with Sage. It's not dirty by Sage at all. It's just winning a football game
The Giants had different defensive personnel packages ready to match up with different Texans groupings. Sage was MVP for Perry Fewell.
Oh, Sage...you clever minx. All's fair in love and football, so I don't begrudge him one iota. Revenge was served, and it tasted horrible. Well played, Rosenfels. Well played.
Don't know about you, but it makes me feel slightly better about the horrors the offense visited upon us on Sunday. As long as Sage doesn't get traded to Kansas City within the next two days, we can hope it won't happen again.

It doesn't make me feel better
Shannahan did the same thing to us. Could we not anticipate this and mix things up or use this to our advantage in some way to trick them?

A year later, Sage still screwing us.
Like it’s OUR fault he decided he wanted to fly one day against Indianapolis.
Great so our offence hasnt changed at all in a couple of years!
You are such a good friend that if you and me were the last two people trapped on a sinking boat with only 1 life vest left, i would remember and pray for you every day.
Let's see...
The Colts got rid of Jim “The Orgy” Sorgi, longtime Colts backup QB and right-hand man (clipboard buttercup) to Peyton Manning and the Giants picked him up as their would-be backup for the season. A lot of Colts fans were afraid he would divulge all of our most valuable secrets (location of secret unicorn farm) and he did. Did it help?
No.

Peyton can also change the play at the line

Exactly.
Solution: Transmogrify Matt Schaub into Peyton Manning.

Oh Sage,
I guess your photo is going into the sacrificial wastepaper basket for this week’s ritual too.
I am a visionary, I am a genius, and now I am angry! Now help me find my pants!
So.....
Ignoring their 2 new coordinators, our coaches should be pumping Wade Smith and Bernard Pollard for insight into Todd Haley, right?
More seriously, at least it answers that whole “HOW DO THEY KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING ON OFFENSE” question. Damn that bastard, Sage Rosenfels.

Sniitches end up in ditches Sage
Actually doesn’t bother me one bit. This stuff happens all the time. Marcus Coleman even mentioned on his blog, There’s tons of tape out there on Kubiak’s offense and even without Sage’s info other NFL teams are going to be able to figure out what we like to do. Sure there are details that Sage can pass on, but anything like audibles at the line (if we used them) are easily changed. It still comes down to execution. I mean I know that strippers going to put titties in my face and try to get me to empty my wallet…but that doesn’t mean I can always stop her from being successful at it.

Change Audibles?
Yes they are easily changed but how the Giants seem to be in the right defense every time I wonder if Kubes thought to change them.
We audible very little so it wouldn't be a huge deal
Most of that probably had to do with tendencies that are easy to pick up on just from film…which is why self scouting is very important.

But don’t you need a job to be called that?

FK Sage. He's a glorified placeholder.
Ok not really. I like Sage. Texans fault for DOING THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER EVERY GAME.

That clip Z has of A Smith
I’m getting fuck of that shit from him. It accomplishes nothing, or nets penalties, and makes us look bad.

He was within earshot of me
when he was practicing with the LS on place holding. I so wanted to yell a question, “You going to helicopter today?” I refrained.

By trading him we gave him a chance to be a starting QB
I LOL’d when Favre squashed that dream though.
Sage already got revenge on us with the worst sports moment I’ve ever witnessed.
F*** Rosenfels.
F*** Rosenfals in the face.

seriously?
We were destroyed in a football game because our backup quarterback from 2 fucking years ago spilled the beans on our system? I really hope this is a joke that I just don’t get
by doctexans on Oct 14, 2010 10:33 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
It's not a joke....
and it’s not “the” reason, but it does explain a piece of the New York gameplanning session since many people commented on the fact that “New York seems to know where we’re gonna be before we get there.”
Nothing dirty about it, but the move to get Sage’s insights was a smart tactic on their part.
"Lord, beer me strength."
It would have been nice
If the coaching had anticipated this and used it against the Giants by doing new and unanticipated things with their formations.
Just sayin’.
I'll eliminate you like I eliminate gluten from my diet.

not saying its dirty
But come on, what does it say about our coaching staff that our backup qb from two years ago was able to help new york gameplan against us so effectively? This makes me more upset about the blowout than I was before. Are the Texans honestly that predictable? Did Kubiak and co come to Houston with one playbook exclusively set on read only? Do they go into every gameplanning meeting and say “Fuck it, let’s do the same thing we do every game. Why change anything?”
Maybe I’m overreacting, maybe not
by doctexans on Oct 14, 2010 11:05 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Nah you aren't overreacting at least not by much
they should have anticipated it, and certainly should have made in game adjustments

we tried
to change things/confuse out opponent once, kyle shanahan called a halfback pass, last year I believe… might have been against indi, needless to say it was horrible, but as for the game against the giants i truly wasn’t concerned until the 4th quarter, i just knew we were going to come out in the second half with some adjustments and win the game. Sadly that wasn’t the case so I feel ya doc.
I'm calling Bullshit on this one
I don’t care if Rosenfels was blue in the face telling secrets/letting their coaches know our offensive schemes. The fact of the matter is they caught us sleeping, our boys didn’t even pretend to act like they wanted that win, it was embarrassing. But were still going to beat KC soundly. I’d guess somewhere in the neighbor hood of 27-13.
