Strategery

How are we gonna approach this game? I'm a little worried they're gonna use the Bears game and last year's GB game as a blueprint for attacking our O. Seems like we can't deal with a lot of stunts and overloads/blitzes very well.

 

The answer is to run the ball effectively. If we do that it will slow down the pass rush and make it less of a factor. If they stop our run game things get harder. In that case you keep the backs and the tight end in to help with pass protection and hope that Smith can still get open down field. They have some weakness in the secondary that we can exploit if Jake is protected well enough. There is no Nathan Vasher back there for sure.

 

Stop Tiki Barber and force Eli to win it with pressure from the pass rush.

 

Stop Barber and protect Delhomme

 

And run, run, run the ball.

 

The Redskins beat them pretty soundly not long ago and in that game Portis ran for 108 and Moss caught three touchdowns. If we can get a hundred yard game from Foster I like our chances a lot. Steve Smith might have a big day too. He is better than Moss. The Giants had one sack in that game.

 

I was just looking at their games - they give up some yards on the ground.

ALso - with the exception of Seattle - all 4 of their losses were games that Tiki didn't get 100 yards.

Stop da run.

 

Short passes to offset the DE pass rush and *gulp* draw plays

 

dont let Eli get comfortable. dont give them life with 3rd down conversions

no turnovers from Jake

 

pass.


it's their weakness.

Somewhat susceptible corners, highly suspect LBs. I'd also screen and consider a draw off tackle rather than directly up the gut.
