Giants Vs. Redskins: What To Watch

Our New York Giants (7-4) host the Washington Redskins (5-6) Sunday at New Meadowlands Stadium. Let's break down the things I will be watching on Sunday.

1. Will the Giants dominate the line of scrimmage? They should -- on both sides of the ball. The Redskins' porous  offensive line has surrendered 32 quarterback sacks and 71 QB hits this season. The Giants have 31 sacks. They should dominate the line of scrimmage defensively. If they don't the NMS boo-birds will be out again. On offense, the Giants should also have an advantage. Washington does have Brian Orakpo, but the Redskins are last in the league in yards allowed, surrendering 400.9 per game. The Giants should be able to take advantage of that.

2. Will Beatty vs. Brian Orakpo. This goes along with No. 1, but it is probably the most intriguing individual matchup. Beatty did an excellent job last week in his first career regular-season start at left tackle, and if he can hold up against Orakpo Giants coach Tom Coughlin might have to give serious consideration to playing David Diehl at guard when he returns to the lineup.

3. Can the Giants stay turnover-free? They played a clean game last week against Jacksonville, going without a turnover for the first time this season. Let's see if they can do that again. This is another one of those games where if they can play mistake-free football they will win.

Can the Giants play a full 60 minutes?

Because that is something that we really have to start seeing more often from this team if we’re to make the playoffs and, hopefully, win some games

I agree Chucky..

I took a little heat over my opinions concerning playing a full 60 minutes, yesterday..lol..but I thing that is why they structured/devised a four 15 minute quarter game..Maybe I’m nuts..and should just tune in the game when they hit the 2 minute warning in the second half..No sense wasting 58 minutesof my time, when I can simply watch 16 games in 32 minutes.

’Skins fan here, we have 16 players out with injuries so i dont see you guys having much of a problem this week.

by Jbennet3200 on Dec 4, 2010 8:26 AM EST up reply actions  

Giants fan here

We have put 11 players on IR this year and have 4 players declared out for this game…so we’re more or less even on that score.

This is a division game, and as such is never to be taken lightly. As with most division games this late in season with numerous players ailing, the team that wins will be the one that steps up and makes the most big plays.

That sums it up nicely, Ed..

I’m very much interested in #2..An exellent test for Beatty..which could very well influence how our O-line will be configured when Diehl gets back..

An excellent test for for Beatty...indeed.

An excellent test for us watching at home as well. Will I anger and alienate my entire family a full 3 weeks before Christmas or will they get another week of Christmas cheer?

I'm gonna buy a HDTV with 3D technology so I can intercept an Eli Manning pass before the season is over.

If the G-Men can run the ball

we will not have to worry too much about the raw WR’s but if they allow the Skins to get ahead early, all the O-line advantages go out the window. I would like to see a half time lead for once.

When its 3rd and long, throw the ball past the marker.

by Fester McDougal on Dec 4, 2010 7:37 AM EST reply actions  

back 2 back

the Giants haven’t played back to back turnover free games since Week 2 and 3 last season vs Dallas and Tampa.

In 2008 we had 9 games with zero turnovers.

didn’t we set a record with the Dolphins for fewest turnovers in a season?

11 turnovers TOTAL? Geez what a year

That’s nuts, only 11 turnovers all season. Sadly, the biggest turnover of the 2008 season was the one that occurred inside the Latin Quarter.

by Step up and make big plays on Dec 4, 2010 9:51 AM EST up reply actions  

Actually

I think it was 13 for each team, maybe we can keep from tripling that this year.

Still

less than a turnover a game. 3 fumbles lost and only 10 INTs.

I Found this interesting

NFL networks playbook suggested that Eli was a given a simpler air gameplan last week against Jax where there were multiple routes run on the same half of the field, which effectively limited his decisions to 1/2 the field. His progressions were kept less complex to limit the possibility of turnovers. it’s kind of like what they do with Bradford in StL.

I guess it’s a move to build up Eli’s confidence heading into the tougher part of the schedule.

Success is never final, but failure can be.

by gr8kicks on Dec 4, 2010 9:45 AM EST reply actions  

If they didn't mention the fact that Eli is missing his top 2 targets

and Derek Hagan, someone who was watching the games on TV a few weeks ago was starting…those NFL Network idiots need to just quit on the spot.

can't waste the time

looking to the opposite side if you’re not sure your receiver knows where to be… best to keep your eyes down field on one side where you can watch the play develop.

Andrews?

Is Andrews playing tomorrow?

No turnovers

And a strong running attack gets the win. Go Giants. What time is the game on?

by costanza! on Dec 4, 2010 10:13 AM EST reply actions  

Offensively

I’ll be watching for good ball control, accurate passes, manageable third downs, and scoring touchdowns in the Red Zone.

Defensively I’ll be watching for the containment on McNabb that was no there with Garrard last week. Along with everyone else I’ll be hoping for 60 minutes of passionate play, and domination of the line of scrimmage.

It would be great if these things came to fruition, but even if they don’t as long as they get the ‘W’ I will be 100% satisfied.

Beat the Redskins, it’s the most important game to date.

Beat the Redskins.

I think Beatty looked really good last week

and if he can keep it up it should allow us to focus on other positions in the 2011 draft.

Ware looked good returning kicks last week, the best all year I might even say.

Ryan Torain & Haynesw playing?

Albert Haynesworth claims to have some kind of illness. i think both guys are ?s.
Torain can move the ball.
