NYG vs CHI What to look for

Giants Vs. Bears


 Probably not playing:

DE Jason Pierre-Paul (back), WR Hakeem Nicks (foot), LB Michael Boley (hamstring), CB Jayron Hosley (foot), DT Shaun Rogers (blood clot), CB Terrell Thomas (knee), LT Will Beatty (back), DT Marvin Austin (back), DE Adrian Tracy (hamstring), OL Brandon Mosley (ankle), CB Brandon Bing (hamstring), TE Travis Beckum (knee/PUP) and DT Chris Canty (knee/PUP)

The 3rd preseason game has the starters going into the 3rd quarter, so it is a real good glimpse at how the Giants will look in their road to repeat.
  • With Boley still out, you have to look for some Keith Rivers action. Had 5 tackles last week, and looking for  chance to prove that he was a STEAL of a trade. The battle between Herzlich and Chase has been fun to watch as well.
  • Look for Locklear to prove he can start at LT. He has a very tough test in Peppers, one of the best pass rushers in the league.
  • Prince Amukamara and his swag. The Giants players have stated that Prince needs "swag", and to be a tough corner in this league, you need some. Throwing him in a cold tub and blasting it on youtube wont help, but it can make him angry.
  • Will Hill hopefully gets first team reps. Hosley is out for the game with turf toe so I wish to see Hill get the reps at the nickle/bison role. Leave Rolle in his safety spot, see what Hill can do against starters for 3 quarters.
  • 3rd WR spot. Hixon will probably get opening day nod with experience. Randle looks like more of an outside threat. Jernigan is smaller but has looked okay on the outside as well. Stanback has impressed, and so has Douglas. They are in a battle for that last WR spot.
  • Pass Rush/D-Line. Need to see who is going to step up in the DT spot. Canty will probably start the season on PUP (out till week 6). We signed Marcus Thomas who Coughlin was surprised to see available, would like to see how he plays.
  • Kick Return. Can Laron Scott please get a chance to return a kick this week? I want to see him play especially with Wilson going to get an increased role in the offense.
  • Word is, David Wilson is going to get a lot of snaps this week. With the starters going into the 3rd, its time for him to step up.
  • Bennett-Eli TD this week. I can feel it.
