Keys to pulling off the unexpected
To Eli: Keep warm, son. If you need to wear a glove, so be it. Just make sure you pump fake and shoulder shake enough that you keep the defense off kilter. Don't forget what we've instilled in you the past few weeks - the players wearing the same color jerseys as you are the ones you throw to. Have fun and remember that you have defied logical pro football analyzation in the playoffs and that there's nothing wrong with continuing the tradition. You CAN, as opposed to some peoples' views, DO IT.
To the Offensive Coaches: Put Bradshaw in earlier than you did last week. He will be able to hit the hole quicker and take advantage of the opposing team's quickness. Once they're not quite as fresh from chasing after Bradshaw, let Jacobs run some. Pretty scary if you're sucking in freezing air while you see Jacobs barreling through the line at you.
To the Offensive line and other blocking units: Play dirty, obviously as you always have. Start when the ball is snapped and don't stop until the whistle blows. Or don't stop until they pull you guys apart or off of someone.
To the Defense: Don't forget to play as dirty as normal, guys. Remember, Favre gave Strahan the record-breaking sack, so when you hit him, put him on the ground gently. No one yet has really talked about how the cold affects Favre's arthritis (he is old), so just go in and do your job anyway. It will be a sidebar later in press conferences. DBs, you have, as Eli has, defied any logical analyzation - so continue on that path. And since we all know that the regular season has everything to do with the playoffs, and that we can cross - compare as other people here have, and since Seattle is a better defense by all accounts- Remember that Dallas had how many Pro Bowlers? You did just fine against them, so don't sweat this. Oh yeah, and they beat Green Bay. May as well use that kind of logic if others can.
To the Receiving core: You will be open on many occasions. Don't be surprised that you are as open as you are. Take it down the field and don't look back. And always block well on running plays - even if they say you're dirty.
To the Whole Team and staff: You have outdone yourselves through your journey to this place in history. You have broken a record with road wins; you beat a team that had a record 12 Pro-Bowlers to get to this point; you beat a number one seed, when you were ranked 5th to get to the NFC Championship. Just a few in a long line of accomplishments for 2007-08.
How much more is there to write about within what has already been a historical season for the Giants? Let's just say I'm keeping the pen and paper handy.
Go BIG BLUE and to )%($_)# with the rest!
