NYG seems to be the kind of team that needs to be feeling confident in order to play well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085850538234303845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-56284966728038743172009-12-11T12:19:03.024-05:002009-12-11T12:19:03.024-05:00The G-men will be fired up, especially if Dallas l...The G-men will be fired up, especially if Dallas loses earlier in the day and this game is for first place in the division. We'll just need to weather the storm early. Red zone offense is going to be key too. Akers has always struggled in the Meadowlands (what kicker doesn't?) so we can't be settling for FG attempts.<br /><br />I'd like to see the Eagles stay creative near the goaline. PA passes haven't worked well down there, in part because teams key on it against us. That will continue to be the case until we prove we can pound the rock into the endzone. I also HATE the PA rollout down there. You already have limited space vertically, so why cut that limited space in half? I know it's a generally safe play...if the receiver isn't open, throw it out the back of the end zone. But still, I'm not a fan.<br /><br />With all that being said, we shouldn't have too much of an issue moving the ball on offense. I see Weaver and McCoy being productive in the running game as the Giants will try to take away the big plays in the passing game. Try they might, but we have too many weapons and their back 7 isn't very good. If we give McNabb time, they're in trouble -- but the same can be said every week.<br /><br />As for the defense, don't give up the 3rd and long conversions. It's been an issue lately against QBs not named Chris Redman. Sean Jones is coming around and getting Jordan and Hanson back will help. Oh...and pressure Eli.<br /><br />Eli w/ Burress = good<br />Eli w/o Burress = average<br />Eli w/o Burress + injured foot = mediocre+<br /><br />He'll toss up some gimmes so we need to be ready to catch them. One final thing on defense, keep getting those hands up if you're not going to get to the QB. I'm sure part of our success at deflecting passes last week was Redman, but it was the first game that I saw a noticeable increase of our rushers getting their hands in the air.Boyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13933131226439463923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-6034742103185876232009-12-10T21:50:01.705-05:002009-12-10T21:50:01.705-05:00Aaron Rouse couldn't cover at First Colonial. ...Aaron Rouse couldn't cover at First Colonial. He couldn't cover at Virginia Tech. He couldn't cover in Green Bay. And he can't cover now.<br /><br />If Reid wants to listen to the little demon on his shoulder this game, by all means, throw it in Rouse's direction.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620157295698136927noreply@blogger.com
