Week 2: NYG vs TB

And We're Back.

Thank god its back. Felt like we had a week 1 bye with the amount of time between games. Extended time for the Giants and their fans to look back at the Dallas game and get angry.

Is it a MUST win? No, week 2 is never a must win. If we lose, is it concerning? Absolutely. That's just not going to happen. Last week was filled with mistakes, "missed" holding calls, etc. Our front four on the defensive side is going to go berserk. I hope to see a lot of NASCAR on Sunday, just so every DE, none of which had a sack, get to the Josh Freeman. Also, Trueblood, the starting LT for the Bucs is questionable with an ankle injury. Must take advantage of that

 Interesting fact. The Offensive Coordinator of the Bucs? Ex QB coach Mike Sullivan. Giants have changed all of their signs and signals for this week. Let's hope this does not confuse our players.

Am I scared of Doug Martin? Absolutely not. Jerry Reese didn't have him higher than Wilson on his draft board for a reason. Stop the run, and stop it the whole game. Don't let Martin break out later in the game like Murray did.

Rivers had a good game last week and is now doubtful this week. You will see Boley step right back into his usual role and see him trying to prove why he should be the starter. I expect a nice game from him.

Prince and Marvin Austin will probably play. What can Marvin Austin bring to the table? The Bucs will try to run, wearing down our line, Austin should get some reps. Prince just needs to do something, anything, to prove why he was a 1st round pick.

David Wilson is "a little" out of the doghouse. The man did OB's by himself when the team was not practicing. OBs are 100 yard sprints dropping every 5 yards and getting back up with a football in each hand. Apparently this is what his team did in high school, and with a little text from his coach, Wilson was on the field by himself. Running.

Wilson and Martin will probably be compared throughout their careers and I hope the real comparisons come on Sunday. Only way that happens? Wilson gets a nice number of carries. Will that happen? That's anyone's guess.

I guess Cruz dropped those balls because his grandmother was on her death bed? No, he dropped the balls because he took his eyes off of them. Look for him to have at least 2 TD's this week. Redemption.

P.S. T2 had yet another knee surgery. Found a partial tear in his ACL. Guy is done. It's too bad.
