I'm sorry, you must have it. Eli loves to be hit! It doesn't effect him in the least. He is ELIte. Obviously he will be so busy completing passes over Edelman to worry about our puny line.

No matter how many times Eli gets hit, he'll get back up and his confidence won't be shaken. didn't you learn that from the SF game?

I think he will dare them to run the ball inside. I believe we will be in the 4-3 nickel, with an emphasis on sealing the edges and forcing their run game to stay inside, as well as containing Eli and forcing him to stay in the pocket. When Bradshaw runs on the outside or Eli breaks free and scrambles outside is when the Giants usually make a big play.

was he sacked 6 times that game?

did they score after a muffed punt on their 3rd possession in OT?

Did the niners drop 2 INTs?

(Trust me, I live in the bay...the niner's fans seems to think the G-men got the better bounces that day)


I bet the game comes down to something similar...bounces, momentum, and conversion of turnovers.

Either that or whoever gets the most points by the time the game is over.

Ask Tebow that question.

Quote:
At the start of the third quarter, Tebow tore cartilage on his first rib where it attaches to his sternum, bruised his lung and had fluid buildup in his pleural cavity, an NFL source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The injuries came as the result of a hit in the pocket when Tebow was pressured after throwing a pass. Even so, he was determined to finish the game with his teammates regardless of the score.
Eli was lucky and if that's the kind of job the Giants are going to do to protect him, I feel worried for him. Don't be silly. Defensive players don't suffer that type of punishment in a football game that Eli took, and just because he did, and came out ok, it's not something I would count on.

I think his main advantage is his own weakness, is his strength. Very flexible. Goes with the hit, versus against it, and things don't break. His body is literally like a rag doll when he gets hit.

But with the right hit, he could be seriously injured.

I agree. Alot of people are still living in 2007 and think the Giants are unstoppable.

First of all they are very light up front. They are very quick and get backside pursuit and beat their blockers consistently. I feel very good with the Pats OL going against the G-Men DL

I personally agree with or D-Line. they are peaking right now at the right time. think what we did against Ray Rice and the big guys led by Wilfork how they collapsed the pocket.

the Pats need to stay disciplined and keep Eli in the pocket. he's alot like Big Ben in how he scrambles. I think Eli is in for a long day with the amount of trash talk the Giants have done.

the Giants have overestimated their ability and underestimated the Pats. the pats are playing it cool. this is going to be an interesting game

the giants better pray for getting plenty of turnovers and PI calls.

Sorry, my comment was offered as sarcasm. But, he did stay in the pocket, but this game has all the pressure in the world and a few hits will make his release a bit quicker. The key here will be to keep him contained (to help the secondary).

You have to think our maligned defense and VW in particular are going to be on for this and they should have a good game. If Giants D is peaking at the right time, you have to say ours is there as well and I have nore confidence in our O-Line.

Well, judging from the SF game, it doesn't appear the Giants O-Line is really all that interested in their quarterback . . .

And, in response to all this "unflappable Eli persevered the SF pass rush" business, I'd like to remind that NY only scored 10 points that weren't resulted from botched punt returns.
