Giants At Cowboys: What To Watch

PrintHere are my thoughts on the key things to watch tonight when our 4-2 New York Giants invade Dallas to take on the 1-4 Cowboys. The Monday Night Football matchup is the Giants' first NFC East game of the season.
1. The Turnover Battle: Last week's victory over the Detroit Lions was the first 'clean' game the Giants have played. Punter Matt Dodge caused a turnover by dropping a snap, but Eli Manning's offense did not have any turnovers. Still, the Giants are -2 in turnovers/takeaways this season and the thus-far mistake-prone Cowboys are -5. My guess is both teams think they can squeeze some mistakes out of the opposing offense. Which one will be right?
2. How will the Giants handle DeMarcus Ware?: We have discussed ad nauseum how poorly David Diehl has played this season (only two starting tackles are graded lower by Pro Football Focus), and we know the Giants can't leave Diehl to handle Ware all by himself. Will we see Shawn Andrews as a second tight end to help Diehl in passing situations? Kevin Boss assigned to chip Ware before running his pass routes? A running back? Most likely a combination of all of those approaches.
3. Dallas receivers vs. the Giants secondary. The Cowboys have a trio of talented wideouts with Miles, Austin Roy Williams and Dez Bryant, and a Pro Bowl tight end in Jason Witten. It will be interesting to see how the Giants match up, especially with Witten. The three-safety package, probably using Deon Grant to cover Witten, might get tested here.
4. Can the Giants pass rush get to Tony Romo?: The Dallas quarterback is a slippery one in the pocket, and he always seems to make big plays moving around. The Giants' defense, as we know, is predicated on their pass rush, and through six games they were tied for second in the league with 21 sacks. Romo has only been sacked seven times this season, so this promises to be a key matchup. If the Giants can't get to Romo they will have a tough time dealing with all the weapons the Cowboy quarterback has at his disposal.
5. Matt Dodge vs. the football: Can he catch it? Can he kick it where he wants to go? Or, can he at least kick it someplace that works out well for the Giants? Every snap with the rookie punter is an adventure. Best news for the Giants would be if no one is talking about Dodge when the game is over.

Are we wearing dark blue tonight?
My jersey selection is crucial for a win and I hate it when I wear the wrong color

Diehl versus Ware
scares the hell out of me, even more so than it used to.
Althought it seems scary...
Its important to remember that despite Ware and Ratliff (who might be as good and Ware) doing a number on us, our offense has had its way the Cowboys in recent times. We have ALWAYS put up points on them and moved the ball.
The question is, will they torch our defense.
Successs in recent times...
doesn’t mean much for this game. The Dallas defense is what we have to watch out for, being #4 in the league thus far, especially with Nicks not playing at 100%. And Romo has only passed under 250 yds once this season. They’re potential depicts a completely different story then their record, and they are a dangerous team. TOP will be key in this game, and we should run the ball to minimize the damage of their DE’s.
as long as the pressure can be kept to a minimum
Even if he gets a sack ill call it a win. And as long as that sack isn’t of the brutal fashion.
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!

Best way to slow Ware down
RUN THE FOOTBALL
use screens AFTER you have established the run and mid length passing game, you want those OLBs and DL firing up field
And it's a big Giant edge
Boys struggling in run defense, with BJ coming on the Giants running game just getting up to speed
or they can do what the Bears did
throw quick passes to the slot WR and TEs. Soon as they decide to collapse, let Eli make a decision and throw downfield with one on one to Nicks.
They should and can do all of this. Boss and Beckum can catch the rock. Smith is one of the best slot WRs in the NFL. The running game can get it going against any team.
Stay balanced and don’t beat yourself. And don’t throw too many deep friggin bombs unless they’re up a score or 2.

or, bootleg a few times away from him...
…and get him moving down the line of scrimmage and through traffic. Hell, do it a few times and you might catch him overpursuing — then go right back to the spot which he vacated.
Stepping up and making big plays will also limit his effectiveness. Chewing up huge chunks of yards at a time can help minimize the number of obvious passing downs and the number of snaps Ware gets to take a run at the QB.

bootleg
maybe it’s my imagination but it seems rare we make big plays when Eli rolls out.
"I don't do many endorsements. I'd rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it." - Bill Parcells
they make plays on the bootleg
it seems they usually can complete the 10-15 yard play no problem. But its when a guy’s wide open 35 yards downfield that it seems to be a problem. That’s gotta change, the players are too good to let that fail every time.

is the ‘fake wr screen draw’ which seems to freeze our LB’s and we get gashed for 15-20 yards a clip – I’ve seen them do that to us alot over the last couple of years to decent success

IMO
This would be a GREAT statement game for the Giants. As I said before, I know some of the players and coaches read this blog as well as other publications. If I was a Giant this morning I would be pissed. I would be ready to rip someone’s head off. They should take offense to what the media has been saying about them. No one believes in them! Everyone thinks the last three games were a fluke. They should be ready this evening not just to beat the Cowboys, but to hit them so hard that they wind up in Arkansas. The Giants are the far superior team. They need to do what they do best, play as a unit, have each others backs, and systematically dismantle the Cowboys from the inside out. I’m expecting a great game tonight. I know the boys in blue will be playing with some pride.

If the Giants win this game....
The talk tomorrow will be “are the Giants the best team in the NFC”.
A loss, and the NFL is just a big mud puddle.
Come on dude, it's all about the Cowboys
I’d love it if the Giants got their due tomorrow if they win this game, but we all know the talk is gonna be about what’s wrong with the Cowboys, is Wade Phillips gonna get fired, what does Jerry Jones think, etc. We’ll be lucky if the media even remembers who the Cowboys played on Monday Night.
yea
either the Giants win and the talk is all about the Cowboys season being over, who gets fired/traded/decapitated. Or the Giants lose and the Porks are “back in it” and have turned their season around.

Jacobs is the Key on Offense
I think if Jacobs gets a bunch of carries tonite it bodes well for us. I was at the game here last time, when he went rumbling down the sidelines, the whole stadium was crapping in their pants. It will be key for the Giants to run the ball and balance Jacobs/Bradshaw.
I ain't worried about the Giants offense at all.
Ware, Ratliff, even their CBs can be a broken clock some plays and be right…but I think the O will be fine. They’ll run, they’ll pass (I think the WRs are over the dropsies they had). Jacobs and Ab get better every game.
The defense…the Cowporks have actually moved the ball at will all year. Can they stop them from finally getting into the end zone? The GIants are a bit better this season in the red zone, and the Porks suck in the red zone…but something has to give.
The key like every week, no matter how good the other team is at it…is stop the run. Coughlin has always had that part correct, its just a matter of doing it. This whole season aside from the Colts game there’s been nothing to say that the Giants will not stop the run. Gotta continue that.
Make the Porks one dimensional and force Romo to throw 50 times…he’ll put up his cute 350 yards, but the Giants will win.

All anyone needs to know about the Cowboys is that amid a terrible start to what was supposed to be a season draped in glory, they have more excessive celebration penalties (two) than wins (one).

it'll be tough
all phases.. The Cow girls are actually top 3 defense and offense thus far..for what its worth.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
that's true. but that's just yardage
check what they are in the departments that matter…scoring on O and limiting Pts on D, red zone D and O..all that stuff.
They turn it over, the other team scores (not many yards) . They march down the field, then miss the FG.

most definately
Those stats have to be included in discussion. Penalties and turnovers and what they NET on offense//defense vs what they GROSS so to speak.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
the total yards statistic
is BS. If your team turns the ball over at your own 20, and the other team scores, then it’s really the field, not your team, that held them to 20 yards. Conversely, if you start at your own 5, and drive the ball 60 yards to punt it away, you just outgained your opponent by 40 yards, but you’re down 7-0. There should be a new stat that weighs yards gained vs. total yards you could gain. In this example, the opponent gains 20 out of 20 possible yards, giving them 100%, whereas your team gained 60 out of a possible 95 yards giving 63%.
by Toast Patterson #34 on Oct 25, 2010 4:24 PM EDT up reply actions
On offense
the Girls are lopsided. They’re 3rd in passing and 25th in rushing. They barely attempt to run the ball. Their pass to run ratio is almost 2 to 1. The top 10 teams in pass attempts are a combined 25-40
Defensively the ranking is also overrated. They’ve only faced one high powered offense. The Texans. Outside of Houston the highest ranked offense they’ve faced is the Skins at #18.

Romo makes mistakes
A lead lets Giants run the ball and chew up the clock and keep Romo off the field.
It also lets the DL tee off a bit.

If I could write the script for this game it would be
NY scores quick and then holds Dallas to a couple of three and outs. Dallas is a team ready to implode. Getting off to a bad start will have them bickering on the bench and the fans will start getting on their case. If they get off to a good start then they’ll feed of that as will the fans, leading to both of them being a pain in the ass all night long.
If we can get the lead, we have to step on their throats and keep scoring points, not get conservative and let them hang around at the end.
When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide..."

killing clock will work against a Detroit, but not here.
Get the lead and keep your foot on the gas, as they say in Nascar “run away and hide.” Get far enough out in front that they can’t see you, or in this case can’t see a way back into the game.

I don't get it
why does the media have its love affair with the Cowgirls? Last season, they won their first playoff game in 12 years then promptly were blown out their next game. Every year they’re predicted to represent the NFC in the SB. The Girls have a large fan base but in a great part that’s do to the media saturation of the Girls. Most true football fans hate the Cowgirls.

u answered ur own q, lol.
its all because of the nfl’s version of mr playboy. Jerry monetary value Jones.
"they try to do what he do, and been where he's been, but they get folded in two.....he's the dude"
understood
but at what point does the media realize that the Cowgirls aren’t that good. Their management and coaching is terrible. We hear how they’re the most talented team in football. How? Their QB is in the 8-10 range. They have good running backs but don’t utilize them enough. They do have one of the best TE The Oline is average at best. At WR Roy W sucks. Austin in his career has had 5 great games. If Austin was with any other team having 5 great games wouldn’t elevate him to ‘elite’.
On defense it’s the same. They have a few very good players in Ware and Ratcliff. The rest of the defense is good but not top notch as far as talented.

True
Today is a big game for all of our captains to step up and keep everybody focused and ready for this big game. A win and we’re among the NFL elite; a loss and we’re fighting for the division. Big statement game tonight!
It's the NFL
So the desperate team has a good chance at home.
I’ll be happy to come out of their stadium with a win by any score. Let’s send the Boys packin’ for 2010 in front of their fans!
Let them have meaningless stats
Last year, we covered Witten with a safety, let him catch 5-yd crossing routes all day long. Do the same. Treat the WRs the same way, two deep safeties, CBs focused on keeping the WRs in front of them.
On offense, I ‘d like to see them stick with the running game. And keep passes short to take away the pass rush. Somehow we lost the 10-15 yd backshoulder passes last week. Should work with their safety worries. People confuse Ware’s sack record against us with his performance. He has gotten sacks, but little pressure in the past.
Their FS now is playing like CC Brown. I’d like to see some crossing routes, allow our WRs (including Manningham) to run with the ball, see if we can get some big gains through sloppy tackling,
I'd like to see some Ramses this game
probably depends on Nicks’ true status, but much prefer to limit him or even sit him instead of risk an injury.

Your lust for the JPP, Barden and Beckum to do well clouds your rational judgment. You’re fixated on proving yourself right that those 3 were worthy draft picks you do so at the expense of making yourself sound like a fool.
You want to sit one of the most explosive players on the Giants, one of the league leaders in receptions in favor of a WR who’s has more tipped balls turned INTs than catches. .

easy boys...
We’re all giants fans here. You both bring up good points… Though I would like to see Barden see the field more often to see what he’s really capable of, I do not think this is the week to test the waters vs. a very potent defense. Frank is right to go with the reliable recievers for this game. If Nicks is not 100%, however, it might be smart to limit his PT to not risk further injury, since as we’ve seen, he can be one of the most explosive recievers in the game, and we DO NOT want to lose him due to injury bc we played him too much in our 1st division game of the season, theres plenty more Div games to make up for. Barden is a solid sub and is a big target for eli, but ONLY if necessary for this game
every pass thrown to him gets tipped for an INT
In the preseason Barden had 3 catches and 1 tipped ball turned INT. During the season 1 catch and 1 tipped INT. 4 catches and 2 tipped INTs.
I don’t hate Barden. I’d love nothing more than for him to develop as a weapon. But what does it say about Barden who’s in his 2nd season when a 5 foot nothing rookie like Cruz has 15 catches to Barden’s 3 in the preseason? Even Duke Calhoun had more preseason catches than Barden. Barden can’t make an impact during the preseason and you expect the Giants to include him in their game plan in a big game against a divisional rival.

what players do in preseason with the 2nd string QB against 2nd string defenses
doesn’t matter to me.
If it mattered to the Giants they’d probably IR Barden (back issue) instead of Cruz (fantasy injury).

Winning this game will rest soley on the shoulders of our offense.
While our defense is capable of applying pressure on the QB and stopping the run, our secondary, although good, has shown weaknesses that have been exploited this year and at times to ouir very destruction. The Cowboys’ offense is just too potent to shut down and Romo is not the easiest QB to
sack.
If our offense struggles to put points on the board or come out the gate slow and we fall behind, there is a good chance that the result of this game will be adverse to our want. The OL has to protect Eli qwhich we already know and Sheriden is going to have to take Method Man’s advice and cook up something lovely in terms of play calling. If this is done, we come out on top.

dream start
We kick to them, Romo fumbles, we run the ball down the feild and their throats and take the fans out of it. Echoes of Boos rain down. Romo fumbles again and cries as he walk off the field. The fans are throwing " Jerry Burgers " at him. We run the ball in for another score and the Giant’s secondery makes Dez carry their gear back.
Yeah, A man can dream can’t he?
"The Cowboys Still SUCK"
I agree with just about everyone here
what I’ll be watching the most is our 3rd down Defense(It always seems as if we get the Cowboys in 3rd and long ) and then they get a first down! And Secondly how when we go to a zone cover package we do with Witten down the middle( my nickname for him is Giant Killer) because he usually has big games vs our Giants.
I am also anxious to see if our moxy matches the Cowboys(This is a close to a must win game for them so I’m surethey will have alot of energy) I just hope we know this is a huge game for us as well to basicaaly all bu knock one twam out of our way going forward but to also put a padding in our leage that will allow fo a slip up or two in the second half! Go Giants!!!!!!
P.S. I’m down 17 in my fantasy league and have Austin and the Kicker tonight(I’ll sacrifice my fantasy victory for a Giant victory) just in case the football gods are listening!!
cowboys fan here
before the hate rolls in no injuries for either team is a must. i hate the Giants like you hate us but i dont want to see any of your players get hurt. the good thing i guess is i hate the Giants a lil less then i hate the deadskins and the beagles. should be a great game im sure ill do my share of screaming yelling thowing stuff. good luck
As always
the BBV crowd wishes for the same, no matter the opponent. No player should be horrifically injured if luck can help out in any way, shape, or form.
As for the ‘Boys though, we don’t have any love for them either, but Cowboy fans are welcome if they can post with civility and have a discussion, not a trollfest.
The N.F.L.'s Worst Nightmare....
Is a Cowpie loss tonight. If Dallas become irrelevant this early in the season advertisers will moan & grown & Corporate hack/Commissioner Roger Goodell will worry about revenue.
I smell some zebra home cooking.
Nothing Is Fool proof if you have the right fools.
it is annoying
im tired of hearing about the how bad the cowboys are. it pisses me off. im a cowboy fan the last thing i want to see is how bad were doing, let alone 50x a day it gets old. i do agree talk about how good other teams are doing.
anyways for tonight im extremely nervous, your defensive front scares me. yes weve only given up 7 sacks but most where last week. i dont want to see your front going chicago on us. to me the defensive fronts will win or lose this game for both teams.
by the way how has JPP been playing this year? i havent followed to see how he is doing. worth the pick or not yet?
now you know
how the rest of the fans feel. We have the Cowboys rammed down our throats. The Cowboys finally won a playoff game last year. Yet, the Cowboys are SB contenders every season. 2007 is a perfect example. Yes the Cowboys were 13-3 but 13 all players didn’t deserve the Pro Bowl. Same thing last year with Austin. He had 2 or 3 great games and a few other good games. He didn’t deserve a Pro Bowl invitation.

ill disagree with you on austin
hes a monster, id put Austin in the top 3 WR right now. look at Austins stats in his last 16 regilar season games.we all cant agree on everything and thats cool, no worries there. im also sick of hearing how were always a SB contender. it gets old and extremely frustrating. as much as i want to win every game like any fan in a weird way its nice to see some humble pie. the cowboys play like the everyone owes them something. i want them to be hungry and play angry, but smart.
Miles
had 2 back to back monster games in week 5 & 6. He then disappeared from the stat sheet for 4 or 5 games. Then had a few more good games. Five very good games doesn’t make one top 3.
The point is let Austin do it for an extended period of time before we elevate him to top 3.

Bad attempt at humor...
The Cowboys have a trio of talented wideouts with Miles, Austin Roy Williams and Dez Bryant, and a Pro Bowl tight end in Jason Witten.
Who is Austin Roy Williams?
Sorry…:-(

austins stats
ill agree with you it takes more then 17-20 games no doubt. i say top since he has been a starter.

his stats for 09
he had 1- 1 catch game but it went for 49 yds and a game winner agianst both our rival eagles.

this years stats. look at his first 16 games he started. compare his number to anyones. then tell me if you think hes top 3, since hes been a starter.
