Default NY Giants' Running Game and Pass Rush Terrify Me

The Giants have a dynamic duo at running back, and our weakest area is run defense, especially if directed at our aged inside linebackers and strong safety. This could be a major problem during the SB if we don't jump out to an early lead and force the Giants to pass to catch up.

Strahan and Osi are beasts, and their pass rush is maybe the best in the entire league (while also being stout against the run)

Additionally, I have long thought Eli Manning is a pretty clutch performer, even in his second year he would have a clunker of a game but then in the 4th quarter turn it up and lead his team to victory.

To be honest, I am more scared of the Giants than I was of the Packers. Let's not forget, the G-Men led the Pats by 12 points deep in the 3rd quarter just a month ago.

Let's not forget that the Patriots were missing some guys aswell that affected the offensive packages.

Still, the Gaints are playing very very well. Imagine if they still had runningback Derrick Ward playing. That running game game would be deadly.

I've said it before, but this has all the makings of another game like superbowl 38. I think we're in for a wild one.

I was hoping for the Packers, but that's because they're secondary is suspect.

I'd much prefer the NYG to the Packers, the Giants will have their moments but if we play well on offense they can't outscore us with a strong running game like the Packers maybe could have with a hot passing day.

We did not have 2 starting OL, and were missing our blocking TE. Aslo, they were geeked up for a game to knock us off from ranks of unbeaten. Despite all of that we won.

Relax. This is Brady time. Manning will be eaten up by the media focus. Its one thing to play in CG games, but SB is another level.

2 weeks for BB to prepare also.

31-17 Pats

Our rush defense is actually quite good.

I think we should be able to take advantage of mismatches in their secondary.

Uh... come again? Al Harris and Charles Woodson versus Sam Madison/Aaron Ross and Corey Webster?

Does not compute.

They are overrated, got lit today but they do play press with Harris and Woodson. That would be same as Chargers played us.

Vs. Giants I think we we destroy them as long as our OL is able to pass protect well. Giants secondary is more of a liability

Key will be establishing the run early and then play action.

I don't get how you can say our run D is our biggest weakness, we've done a great job lately at shutting down some great power running teams, the Giants being one of them.

When we faced the Giants in week 17 we held Jacobs to 67 yards, and the Giants had 79 rushing yards total, 13 of those going to Manning.

I should start off by saying I like the Giants. They are my NFC team purely out of convenience since we get all their games. But honestly, I think this rematch is going to be a lot easier than Week 17.
