Well the news isn't that good. The Giants run a passing offense that is very similar to what Norv Turner is trying to have this year with Randy Mac and the rest of our guys. The major difference of course, is Ricky Williams.
But I'll say this, hopefully we can run it straight up the gut because its gonna be HARD to run on the edges against these guys. Even that will be hard, because the Patriots like to blitz off the edge and will catch Ricky in the backfield some....where he usually puts on a nice spin move to get out but sometimes he wont be able to get away.
Weird thing is with Lawyer Milloy and Rodney Harrison, nobody is gonna want to pass the ball deep in the middle. Fortunately for us, passing the ball deep in the middle isn't exactly our specialty.
But on the other hand, with both Milloy and Harrison always cheating toward the line of scrimmage, and both a step or two slower than Tebucky Jones, if we can beat off the 3-4 blitzes and coverage schemes, a play-action deep down the sidelines to Chambers SHOULD pay dividends.
Also the other place the Pats appear to be soft is over the middle short, because their linebackers constantly vacate the area.
But either way the news doesn't look good overall cuz the Giants offense was largely stifled under severe pressure from Belichick's 3-4 defense.
Colvin looks as good as advertised. Wonderful rusher, horrible in pass coverage.
And Richard Seymour, is a BEAST. I dont know about Ty Warren, he could be a year or so away from making a good impact, but Richard Seymour as a defensive end in the 3-4 is just SCARY. Belichick keeps reverting a 4 man rush that consists of 3 linebackers and one DLman and guess who the DLman is...Richard Seymour. And guess which guy is always gettin into the QBs face? Richard Seymour. On one play they used Colvin and Seymour together bunched up on one side, Colvin rushed to the lineman that was blocking Seymour, pushed him out of Seymour's way, and Seymour had such incredibly quick acceleration off the OL he ran right in and grabbed a sack. It was good coverage but its not like Collins sat there forever. He only had a few seconds before being pummeled.
And Belichick knows how to get those linebackers into the backfield too. Colvin got a little pressure, but Teddy Bruschi collected a sack.
On offense pretty much same old same old. Brady is still the cream of the AFC East along with Pennington. followed closely by Bledsoe and then Fiedler. RB situation still iffy. Daniel Graham looks a little better but still nothing special. Troy Brown as always looks good.
