Will we force Eli to beat us?

[#56fanatic]

on our strategy coming up sunday. I think Blache will put more people in the box and let the corners play more cover 1, cover 0. Alot of run blitzing, and we'll see Jason Taylor more as an OLB this week given the injuries we have. Evans will more than likely play DE the majority of the game to give more run support since we all know Taylor stinks in the run game. I sure hope London can suit up and contribute sunday. With out him, I am not sure we'll be able to get off the field defensively.

Offensively - we have to come out with some aggression and attack. Max protect and let the receivers go get the ball. Hopefully this will take the Giants out of that aggressive attacking the QB mode. I look for Cooley to have a big game if they continue to blitz as often as they do. I am hoping for a couple of those quick slants to turn into big plays and hopefully hit Kelly a few times deep.
We are NOT suppose to win this game so we really should go out with nothing to lose and just attack early. If we can play with a lead, Greg may be more inclined to send the house at Eli and force some INT's.

Great Post. I hope JZ and GB read this!! Seems like the absolute road map for us to steal a win.

Eli is more than capable of winning games if he needs to, its just that the Giants run game and defense has been so dominant there hasn't been any need for him to put the team on his shoulders and carry them. I was no big Eli fan (still not) but the kid has grown up tremedously the last year and half and seems very capable of being "the guy".

Did Eli catch the ball,it takes a team.

You're taking the title of this thread too literally. Obviously no single player wins a football game by themselves (unless you put a helmet and pads on Chuck Norris). Of course it takes a team. By "forcing Eli to beat us," he means should we focus primarily on stuffing the run, thereby forcing the Giants to throw more than normal. You're splitting hairs.

seriously, I can't believe you are down playing the play that eli made. Had he not made a tremendous effort to avoid getting sacked and the ability to see Tyree open, you wouldn't have been celebrating a super bowl. Do you not like Eli?

if we stop or at least slow the run eli will have a hard time especially if we get an interception or two.

I hope we don't "force" anyone to beat us

Also, as of now I will take our cornerbacks one on one with your receivers, I think that is the one matchup in this whole game we clearly win. And where Shawn Springs absence really hurt us in the first game. Don't be surprised to see D. Hall and Horton given some space for ball hawking either.

They are going to do the same thing they did in the first game. Hopefully they hold the offense to 17 points.

It's up to the offense to break out this game.

PLAXICO WON’T PLAY AGAINST REDSKINS
Posted by Tim MacMahon on November 28, 2008, 7:48 p.m.

Giants receiver Plaxico Burress will sit out Sunday’s game against the Redskins because of a sore right hamstring.

You can criticize Burress for a lot of things, but his willingness to play through pain is not one of them. He played every game during the Giants’ Super Bowl season despite an ankle injury that kept him off the practice field. Burress injured his hamstring Nov. 16 in the win over the Ravens and aggravated it on the opening series of last week’s win over the Cardinals.

Domenik Hixon will start in Burress’ place. Attention fantasy geeks: Hixon had four catches for 102 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks, when Burress was suspended for being a bonehead.

The news on Plaxico is awesome. Also heard that both Jacobs and Bradshaw are still ailing and Tuck had some kind of injury during practice. Looks like this battle will come down to emotion over injury issues because things are a little more even there - hopefully our guys play out of their minds come Sunday w/o losing focus.

Bradshaw hasn't practiced all week, so he very well might not be able to go. Jacobs practiced today and will most likely play, although he was probable last week and was a late scratch. Tuck was back at practice today as well, and from what I read, he'll play.

On a down note for us, it's not looking very good for either Andre Carter or Fletcher to play. That sucks big time.
