New York Giants Vs. Miami Dolphins Preview: Five Things To Watch

The New York Giants face the Miami Dolphins Sunday (1 p.m. ET/CBS). Here is this week's look at 'Five Things To Watch' on Sunday.

Star-divide

1. The Giants' Intensity Level: We talk about this all the time with the Giants when they play a seemingly weaker opponent. Will they bring their 'A' game, or will they play down to the level of the 0-6 Dolphins and make this a dicey game?

2. Corey Webster vs. Brandon Marshall: Webster has been getting the assignment vs. the opposition's top receiver in recent weeks, and that means this week he will chase Marshall. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Marshall is the type of big, physical receiver that can give the 6-foot, 204-pound Webster difficulty. Let's see how Webster holds up.

3. The Giants' Running Game: Two weeks ago against Buffalo the Giants had their best game of the season in terms of running the ball, with the numbers looking more Giants-like. Will that continue, or will the Giants have to rely solely on the right arm of Eli Manning to move the football?

4. The Effectiveness Of Justin Tuck: The Giants' defensive captain has been practicing on a limited basis this week and has been optimistic about his chances of playing Sunday. If he plays, it will be interesting to see if it is the real No. 91 or the same player who was severely hampered by neck and groin injuries earlier in the season.

5. Eagles vs. Cowboys: I know this is cheating. It is, however, more interesting than any fifth thing I could think of. Besides, I know you guys are interested in this big NFC East game and I know you will be tuned in Sunday night. Do you guys care which team wins? Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Dallas win just to push Philadelphia even closer to having 2011 turn into a complete disaster for the Eagles.

I got a number 5 relating to this game

5. Who Plays: Does Barden come off the PUP and get actived? Do we see Prince active, playing special teams and nickel packages? After hearing Jacobs talk this week, does he get more carries since he may be healthy enough to play? Do rookies like Scott and Jerrigan get playing time?

It’s more important to me to see if Prince can get some PT and see how he does.

I’d prefer to see the Cowgirls win because the Iggles scare me more if they get on a roll.

Yeah

If the Eagles were to win, they would both be 3-4 and a 3-4 Eagles are a bigger threat than a 3-4 Cowboys I reckon. Dallas are still a strong team mind you.

by XYU on Oct 28, 2011 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

i'm gonna guess

that Barden goes, and Prince doesn’t. Prince said he felt some pain in the foot after the first day or two, and to me, that’s a red flag. let the foot rest one more week and see how it responds in practice of next week. no need to push it.

i think Big Boy if that knee is healthy will go out there looking to make known that he deserves more PT. don’t know how many snaps he gets, but look for his ypc to be around 4.5. and i see Scott and JJ12 not getting much if any PT, specially JJ, who just fell further down on the depth chart.

Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....

agree and disagree

Foot injuries are a bitch. Discomfort usually lingers for a long time. My GF broke her foot about 15 years ago. She still has some discomfort. As long as Prince isn’t at risk with reinjuring his foot it’s something he’ll have to deal with.

All good Questions

I would like to see Prince and Barden get some Burn in this one. Hey they gotta play some time. I just hope we are up by 25 when it happens. As far as the Shegulls and the Girls I want the Girls to prevail in a squeaker by 3 in triple overtime leaving both teams wounded and bloody.

Eagles vs. Cowgirls...

   I want a long, hardfought 0-0 tie with lots of turnovers, dropped passes and errors to keep the media focused on both of them. And with a tie, they do go overtime and we pick up a half game on both of them with a win over the Fish.

by Cranky50 on Oct 28, 2011 12:25 PM EDT reply actions  

The scenerio

The Cowpukes are winning right up to the last minute and then Romo throws a pick 6 that ties the game. The whole OT is scoreless.

That sounds perfect

Or flip it with Vicktim throwing the pick 6.

Either way is good with me. :-)

that was lovely btw, watching them over at BGN

argue with no sarcasm about how Graham had a better rookie season than JPP, and prolly would be on par with JPP’s numbers this season if he was healthy. to be fair, it was mostly d-jackfan10 that had that belief, but it was enjoyable to see that blind faith, or whatever you want to call it. or maybe just stupidity.

also, it was interesting to see them say how it takes a year for a player to recover from microfracture(talking about Graham) but when we told them the same thing about SS12, and that he wouldn’t be ready for week one, they all said we were crazy, the doctors know what they’re doing, blah blah blah. hmmm, how’s that working out for them? and him?

also can we give a lil credit to the man Jay Arrah for sticking to his guns on SS, and Boss as well?

I'm leaning toward Dallas losing

Seeing Philly fade further is always good, but selfish of me in this case. You always want the better record in your division to go down a notch. A Philly win doesn’t really bring them much closer to contending. A Dallas win does.

I'd like to see how Fewell uses JPP...

w/ a “healthy” Tuck.

I’d like to see Ramses Barden get a handful of snaps

as far as Marshall goes….bring it

TeamJPP

by andiamo708 on Oct 28, 2011 12:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Do the math

on average there are 67 plays for the D. (I think Ed mentioned that a few posts back). Fewell wants to reduce JPP downt to somewhere like 45 to 50 snaps. If that’s true then I say give tuck 20-25 snaps (don’t work him too hard)
On long passing downs it will be Osi at end, Canty, Tuck at tackle, JPP at the other end.
Kiwanuka blitzes from everywhere. Devastation reigns!
Or—-do we not show our cards until the Patriot game? Regardless, Tuck must take it easy wherever and whenever he can.
If Barden gets snaps, throw him safe, catchable balls. 5 or 6 yds. Maybe one pass medium length down the seam.

‘Expert’ – from the adjective *pert*, meaning ‘lively’ or ‘effective,’ and the prefix *ex-*, meaning ‘not.’
JPP IS the Kraken. He shall be released.

Running Game

I know that Bradshaw got 100+ yards last game but it was only barely and was partly due to a big run late in the game. We only had 4.0 yards per carry last game, including that big run and barely had 3 yards per carry before that. I would like to see our running game play well the entire game and be better in the yards per carry category.

Crush Philly’s “dreams”(see what I did there?) and having Dallas only 1 game back keeps pressure on the Giants to keep winning. I’m afraid a 2 game cushion would lead to them becoming complacent.

FIRST DOWN – i have no concrete numbers to back up my claims (despite a couple half-assed internet searches) but i’ve been increasingly frustrated by the Giants play on first downs. this goes for both sides of the ball, but especially the offense. it’s so crucial to establish some sort of positive gains on first down, whether it’s a 4 yard run or a short pass. in my opinion the Giants too often thrown deep, low percentage passes on first down and more often than not find themselves in a 2nd and 10.

don’t get me wrong, i love to see them take their shots downfield, even on first down, and Eli throws a great deep ball. but i think that they’ve done this far too often in this early season, and they need to make more of a conscious effort of simply gaining ground on first downs. i know it’s hard to do that when you’re not running the ball effectively, but i’d like to see them incorporate more short passing plays to not only win more first down plays but to loosen the defense up.

can’t stress it enough, gaining yards on first down is so paramount. and aside from 3rd and long there is no more difficult play to run than the 2nd and 10 following an incomplete pass when everyone in the world knows the next play is gonna be a run. then you’re at 3rd and long, and you can’t live like that. WIN FIRST DOWN.

sorry for the rant, that’s been bothering me for a while…

Well I think as the weather turns and the winds start swirling

We’ll see more short passes..but we also need a running game that is consistent..and your right..gaining positive yards on first down is crucial ..Second and 10 to go is to a QB like a 2-2 count to a pitcher..they hate 2-2 counts..It leaves only two options a ball, or a hittable strike pitch..they hate that count..2nd and ten is the same for a QB..It limits your decisions, and puts them in a bind..and your most likely headed for a third and X situation..

predictable

the gmen become very predicatable when 1st down becomes 2nd and 10. there goes the run. if that fails, we have setup a 3rd and long. that has been the problem. then, they cant convert the third down.

or

2nd and 10. Eli in shotgun. Hand off to AB for 2 yards. Still 3rd and long.

Five things to watch

1) How does JP Losman stand under pressure?
2) How many Finns can Jake Ballard carry for ten yards?
3) How close does Brandon Fields come to the total yardage record?
4) How does David Carr look throwing to Jernigan, Barden, Beckum, Thomas and Clayton?
5) Where will Tony Sparano sleep if he sells his house before his flight home?

I am a fan of Kevin Gilbride and I don't care what you say

My answers...

1) Losman who?
2) 11 guys
3) Whose Fields?
4) Carr?..throwing to who?
5) He rented one of those ‘PODs’ storage units..they’ll pick his ass up and cart him off even if he’s still sleeping..(it’s part of the service)

1. he’ll be knocked out too so look for a third stringer please.
2. 11 is good. i’ll make it 12.
3. agree with bobbi. who is this? and who the hell cares.
4. Jernigan TD, Thomas FUM so he gets benched and Clayton 40 yds. all in the last 6 mins.
5. At the Colony Hotel in South Beach next to LeBron’s finals trophy made from cardboard.

Isn't Matt Moore starting. Losman won't play.

Usually the old addage is...

We have the opponent shaking in their boots…but since this is Miami..
We have them shaking in their flip-flops..

The E-gals should always lose before anyone else

My order of preference for rooting against an NFC East team is:
1) E-gals
2) Cowgirls
3) Forskins

So Dallas needs to win. We can deal with them later.

Haha!!...

E-gals?…that is great…
Foreskins?…Oh boy..I now have new names for those chumps

Shanahan looks like the Drs made a mistake

When they circumcised him they went for his head, not the right head, the head…That’s why he has no eyelids..

Yeah Eggs is a good one also..especially this time of year being it Halloween season..

I miss those days..We pulled the old lit bag of dogshit and doorbell routine, but there was nothing better than pelting Mr. Sassi..who posed outside as an ornament…with weeks old rotten eggs we collected and hid in the woods..We would pelt the shit out of him and he would chase us all night..Then when it was time to head home we’d swig Boones Farm Apple wine, eat candy, and barf all the way home..In upstate NY you had miles to walk before you reached a development…We’d be out there all night collecting our Booty..So yeah I kinda like the Eggs tag..As long as they don’t hatch on our team when we play them..

They're only the Foreskins when they're in 1st place.

So it’s almost never that we get to use that name.

Root for Dallas

1) We have had their number. The Eagles have had ours.

2) The idea is push ONE of those teams over the edge into the abyss….. not leave them both alive.

3) Irregardless of their plight, Jackson, Maclin and Vick are a worse matchup for us than anything Dallas brings.

4) I wouldn’t root for the Eagles if Trent Cole had my nuts in a vice

Please Beat Us Giants! No Seahawks-style Letdown!

Help us move forward in the Luck Bowl! You should want the Dolphins to get Luck because:

1. AFC team.
2. So he can possibly torture the Jets for years and years…
3. You don’t want him holding a clipboard behind Peyton Manning for 2-3 years.
4. You are sick of the Colts anyway.
5. He’ll become the biggest sports star in Miami right away. (That one’s for all the LeBron haters.)
6. Did I mention he’d play the Jets (and Patriots) twice each?
7. Maybe you want a new Ace Ventura? But Dolphins would need a new star QB.

I have no problem giving him to you.

I'm from New York

So I know how annoying Jets fans are….they think they’re New York’s favorite team right now. Giants should kick their @ss.

Yeah, we deserve Luck, and we want him more than the other Contenders. We’ve had 16 starting QBs since Marino retired, and probably 17 after the Giants knock Matt Moore out. It’s bizarre seeing a lot of fans wanting the team to lose…but we realize it could finally get us a franchise QB. It’s pointless to want the team to win 4 games instead of 1 at this point. Have to hope they lose.

LOL!!..Hey a buddy of mine is a Fin fan..

and He’s Irish…maybe that’ll bring some Luck
