NYG vs GB Preview

Must Stop Angry Aaron

You gotta know that Rodgers is gonna come into Metlife all pissy about the NFC Championship Game last year. How bad they looked when receivers were dropping balls left and right. He's smelling blood in the awful secondary the Giants have. But that doesn't matter.

Osi is looking for more 3 step drops from AR12, and so am I. He doesn't want to get planted. How to counter this? Press. Press. Press. Fewell had a whole extra week to prepare for Rodgers. He has been sacked more times than any other QB this season (32). Reason for this? Not making stupid Eli mistakes and just taking the sack. Press coverage on the outside, send stunts, blitzes, anything to get him out of his comfort zone. Rodgers is also a duel threat, the guy can run around. Keeping him in the pocket is a huge deal as well.

Nice little stat: Rodgers in 2 regular season games vs Giants 773 passing yards, 8 TDs and 1 INT for 121.2 rating. 

Stop Randall Cobb is what everyone is saying, a threat as a receiver and returner. Jennings says hes ready to go, but who knows.  Watch out for Finley. Hes a great athlete and our linebackers are not the quickest especially since Jacquian is out AGAIN.

Our secondary is bad, and everyone knows it, but have you looked at the Packers secondary recently? The Packers defense is 21st against the pass (244.4 per game), and has given up 43 plays of 20 yards or more. Not to mention both Sam Shields, Charles Woodson, and Clay Matthews are all out. 

Is this finally the week Kenny Phillips comes back?  He's questionable as of right now. We need all the speed in the secondary that we can get. He not only brings skill, but emotion back to the group. Again, Fewell has had 2 weeks to put in a 3 or 4 safety look. 

Eli needs to stop with this time warp back to the beginning of his career. He has looked retarded recently. The increase in defensive pressure could attribute to this, but again just go down, take a sack. Nicks should be healthy with that extra rest. Cruz is a big play guy, and like I stated above, the Packers like to give those up. With Shields and Woodson out, it leaves the Pack with corners that are barely 6 feet tall, if that. Send in Ramses, the man is 6'6", throw em' high. 

Ahmad Bradshaw is still barely practicing. Still not helping him with timing for hitting holes. Still not helping the team. If the carries do not go at least 60-40 Browns way, there is a problem. Also think about this, what if the Giants bring out Wilson this week in some sort of different package. Like what the Dolphins did that year they brought out the Wildcat against the Pats. Not saying be that extreme with it, but give him a significant role.

Bottom line, the only way we win this game is if Eli has his head on straight. Good decisions, take your time, we get a victory, Giants always play up to their competition.
