Giants Vs. Cowboys: Five Things To Watch

New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East title. For all intents and purposes, the first playoff game of 2012. Here are my 'Five Things to Watch' Sunday.
1. What Will Perry Fewell Do? The Giants' defensive coordinator is one of the central figures in this game, at least the way I see it. If Osi Umenyiora plays, how will Fewell use him? And how much will he play? I would hope it is limited snaps in pass-rush situations, and that we aren't watching a whole lot of a limited Umenyiora play while the team's best defensive player, Jason Pierre-Paul, stands on the sideline.
The other thing to watch is what Fewell does with the secondary. Last week against the Jets Fewell -- finally -- simplified the coverage schemes to something his players could actually understand and execute. Will he stick with that, with playing to the strengths of his players, or will he revert to his tendency to play a system and try to out-think everybody? If he does the latter, the Giants are in a lot of trouble.
2. Can Anybody Catch What Eli Manning Throws? Beyond Victor Cruz the Giants' receiving corps is a big mess at the moment. Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) and Mario Manningham (knee) will play, but how limited and how effective will they be? Can Manningham, Ramses Barden or Travis Beckum manage to run a couple of routes correctly and make a play? Can Bear Pascoe, for at least one game, do a decent Jake Ballard impersonation? Or, will the Giants be stuck throwing the ball to Cruz and throwing bubble screens to D.J. Ware as the extent of their passing attack?
3. Which Giants' Running Game Will Show Up? Will we see the rushing attack we saw in the first half last week against the New York Jets (six yards on seven carries) or the one we saw in the second half, when the Giants ran for 109 yards? The Giants must get production from the ground game.
4. Special Teams Play: I am still waiting for the Giants to deliver a game-changing punt or kickoff return. As much as I criticize special teams coordinator Tom Quinn the Giants have done a lot of things well on special teams this season. The one thing they have not done is break off any difference-making returns. Sunday night would be a good time to change that.
5. The MetLife Stadium Crowd: The Giants are breaking out the "All-In" rally towels. You can expect MetLife to be rocking when the game starts. My question is, will it stay that way if things don't go well for the Giants early in the game? Or, like it so often does when the Giants are at home, will it get uncomfortable?

I like these posters.
I agree with #1. As a Cowboys fan I hope Osi plays. That just limits Pierre-Paul. Osi is good, but I’d take a banged up Osi over Pierre-Paul rushing at Romo any day. (Cowboys fan perspective of course.)
As for Nicks dropping balls I’m sure he won’t miss one against Dallas. We rarely get the breaks other teams get!
Running game did well vs. Dallas last time we played. I’ll be looking for that 2 point conversion shotgun draw play from Danny Ware. I’m not sure how we didn’t know it was coming. It’s all you ever run in that situation.
GO YANKEES, COWBOYS, AND KNICKS!
eh it's more of a joke comment.
I feel guys have break out games against us and vs. other they’ll drop the ball. You get me?
GO YANKEES, COWBOYS, AND KNICKS!
Red zone
You are right about the shotgun draw on goal line situations. As much as I love Eli, his lack of quickness and speed makes rolling out difficult. That leads to teams not having to cover the edges and we so they load up the box. A big tough Jimmy Graham type TE would really improve our goal line problems next year.
Whoever brings the most intensity wil take this game. Two very evenly matched teams IMO. Should be a great game!
Go Giants!
If you get Jimmy Graham I won't watch football anymore. lol.
Agreed for a good game.
GO YANKEES, COWBOYS, AND KNICKS!
Haha
Yeah, I’m just saying we need a big tough athletic guy that can out jump and the defenders in the end zone. I’m still hoping Brden can be that kind of threat, but he hasn’t progressed much this year.
Go Giants!
His name is Beckum
And he’s warming the bench. Or when he gets in, like last week, they have standing still in the middle with the big bodies.
If Coughlin and Gilbride coached the Knicks, they would put Stoudamire at point guard and Bibby at center.
"Can't anybody here play this game?" - Casey Stengel, watching the 2011 Giants
Yeah
The guy that just had that touchdown slide through his fingers at the goal line recently. He still hasn’t earned the coaches trust in crunch time because of miscues like that.
Maybe he surprises and makes a big catch or two tomorrow. But he’s a tough guy to trust in a do or die game like tomorrow.
Go Giants!
Beckum is a big body?
Compared to who?
Sister Mary Beckum has repeatedly failed. If we are dependent on him, we will most likely lose.
While it is true they don’t use him correctly, most chances, ex the great 67 yd play that I thought was someone in a Becks uniform, he has blown every opportunity he has had.
Move on, the rest of us had.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TC, TQ, PF, KG, DD and KMac Must Go!

No, you missed my point
My point was instead of using his speed & jumping ability, we had him over the middle where the big guys could push him around. The coaches should be watching tape of Witten. He does not catch TDs on us over the middle. He is outrunning LB coverage to the outside.
"Can't anybody here play this game?" - Casey Stengel, watching the 2011 Giants
I'm not at all thinking Beckum will do anything for us, ever..
I mean he’s a great guy, but he hasn’t done anything for us…Maybe he’ll prove me wrong tommorrow night..We need anybody we have out there battling for the win..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Please list those opportunities
I’d like to know them.
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Tom Coughlin: "Respect all. Fear none."
The roll out
Eli had a designed bootleg Week 1 and it worked great. You do not have to be fast if no one is expecting it. Eli is fast enough to make the play work IF it is designed correctly.
"Can't anybody here play this game?" - Casey Stengel, watching the 2011 Giants
As a surprise
It might fool the other team. But it’s not his strength and will never be a regular part of the playbook. QB’s that can spread the D inside the 10 have a huge advantage. But Eli has his strengths and they just need to find better options in the red zone. Not sure what the stats are, but we are not great down there this year.
Go Giants!
Speaking of # Refs
- How will the Refs effect the out come of this game with their shitty calls and how many things in my house will I break because of them?
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Don't worry its a new rule you are allow to tackle Ware now.
It must be, because he never draws holding calls.

I am not saying the Giants were holding just in general, I am sure JPP gets it too. This year it seems like holding rarely gets called anymore.

Refs
I think they get a memo from the top to protect the NFL QB’s. They are the stars. So they let a lot of stuff go. Wi hate it too. But that’s life in a very commercial league.
Go Giants!
Holding does not get called anymore on anyone
The jersey grabbing that is going on is the worst.
I have been documenting this it has been so bad. The Giants have only been held twice on the pass rush this year. Last week, Joseph was grabbed chasing Sanchez towards the right sideline. It was so obvious it had to be called – Joseph was at the end of the line and running into space.
Two weeks ago Bernard was held after breaking through the line right off the snap.

didn't stop some people from complaining
from going to the GB site during that game. not blaming you of course but yeah…
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
Unfortunately
My kids witnessed some very childish and irrational behavior during the past couple of games by dear old Dad. They think Fewell has a middle name that also starts with F.
Go Giants!
The same middle name that Bucky Dent has isn't it?

Blues Brothers rules
The commissioner has announced that the use of unnecessary violence to stop the Cowboy attack has been authorized.
Game plan
Cowboys like to load the box on us so they can stuff the run and disguise the blitzes. So # 2 is huge. we need Manningham and Nicks to be healthy enough to stretch the D and make them pay if they do that. I say throw early and then run when they stop loading the box.
Go Giants!

I agree 100 percent. Play-action passes and dink and dunk passes to set up the run..
… is this really the Giants? Lol
Eli Manning, Derek Jeter, and Sidney Crosby are all called overrated yet prove time and time again why they are not.
No
Go deep and make those safeties and linebackers respect the deep middle. Then they can create some running lanes.
Go Giants!
We made their safeties look bad last game
Challenge them again.

Game is on Eli
two points,
1. game is on Eli, receivers or not, he has to be on and produce. Tds in red zone, no TOs, make some plays.
2. need a pass rush from whoever, hopefully Osi helps out with JPP on the field at same time. Simplified or not, we cannot cover anyone without a pass rush, ie see third day play Romo missed … Austin wide open.

If Eli is throwing perfectly placed balls to his WR’s and they drop them, how is that not on the WR’s but on Eli?

Coming full circle from the game in Arlington
I think this game will come down to a last second field goal. Garrett will try and freeze Tynes, but he’ll put it through the uprights to win it. Wouldn’t that be great.

As a fellow Scottsman I can see your attraction to that scenario
and I would take it as an outstanding full-circle ending. Except for the dodged bullet that our man Tynes gave is in Green Bay on the route to 42 however, we have a longer history of the other guy missing one than of us hitting one.
Either one would do fine by me

It would be a shame if Osi isn't healthy enough to contribute.
We could have used his pass rushing talent in the last Dallas games. Romo had a field day despite JPP’s monster game.
Eli will have to play a minimum mistake game. At some point his tendency to force passes is goong to cost this team as it has in many of thier past games. Gotta know what defenders are in the area when checking down and take some zip if the ball.
The run game is going to the key to our success because the pass game is limited.

Left-handed pass. I know he has it in him. He just has to stick with it.

Five Things I’d Like to Watch – Mainly, attack the other team’s injuries or weaknesses:
• Dallas LG Montrae Holland is out. Maybe it’s not so dumb to put JPP on his replacement on 3rd and long, and Canty better have a big game like he’s been doing lately.
• Miles Austin likely not 100% with that hammy. Jam him at the line when we sent the extra-rush package (and not whiff totally on him like Ross did in that fortunate 3rd and long overthrow back in Dallas).
• Take advantage of the soft coverage of the bad Dallas CB’s – bubble screens, etc.
• Romo still can’t take snaps from center with that hand. Costa had major issues earlier this year with shot-gun snaps, so lots of crowd noise.
• When sending extra-pressure, do it up the middle to stuff those fairly effective Dallas delayed draws (and what else running wise can they do if Romo can’t take snaps under center). Even do it on 2nd down, when Dallas tends to call that play a lot.
• If Romo can’t go … stop making heros of back up QB’s. Pressure them, don’t try to fool them with fancy coverage (we do that to our own DB’s enough). Make him make the tough throws – take away the easy slants and check downs.
• If we do get up early, don’t take the foot off the gas. We haven’t won a single game impressively all year, and some momentum going into the play-offs would be nice.
O.K., that’s 7 … my bad.
Geez now you got me nervous, what if McGee is starting???
We’ll end up making him look like Rex Grossman. Which under normal circumstances would be a good thing, but…………..not this year

Then
Tuck and JPP will just have a McGee sandwich as a late night snack. They need to be RELENTLESS tomorrow. No excuses. They have the home advantage. Time to make more nightmares for Jerry and Co..
Go Giants!
I'm honestly worried about that...

I am not worried one bit about him if he starts.

Oh yeah!
That frenzied feeling when a defense is just destroying the other team, repeatedly…..
Nothing in football tops that for me. Not a 99 yard TD toss and scamper to Cruz, not a blocked FG, punt return for a TD, nothing.
Last time I felt that was last year at the game that shall not be mentioned.

An romo is starting the last thing we want is mcgee starting with this teams history of making the know name qb llook like johnny unitas but we faired pretty well specially last year with the back up qb coming in late 2nd qt early 3rd qt i wont mind mcgee coming in than after he saw romo get lit up right infront of him

From Wikipedia
The infamous “sucker punch” occurred after Longley and Staubach had fought over a negative remark Longley made about Staubach to fellow Cowboy teammates. Staubach was putting on his shoulder pads on the last day of training camp when Longley hit him in the face without warning and from behind, requiring several stitches to close the wound on Staubach’s face. Longley was immediately traded to the San Diego Chargers5 where he finished his career with little more success.

Didn't know that, thanks...I was referring to when Staubach got hurt in the Thanksgiving
game against the Skins were up 16-3 in the 3rd. Longley came on and ended up beating the Redskins 24-23
I was so sure that you did NOT mean that
that I assumed it had to be something else

Aside from a couple of safeties, when’s the last time the Giants defense put points on the board? I feel like Aaron Ross had a return for touchdown early in the season (maybe against the Eagles?). Can’t remember any since.

Certainly the two top stories for the 2011 season, for sure...
I would add Eli in there for correcting the problems he had last year….

If it was Matt Dodge I wouldn't even watch the game.
Mark my words!! No, seriously, copy them into a notebook or something…Matt Dodge will eventually beat the Giants with an amazing punt. I don’t know when but I know it’s gonna happen. Hey, at least we found out that Dodge really wasn’t the problem with the Giants last season. We won 10 games with him on the roster and can only win 9 this time around. Black is down…up is white…

They keep showing 1st Dallas game on NFL Network ...
and all I can think is: damn, we’re gonna miss Ballard.

What if they had run Felix Jones 30 times?

by thatdamHBdraw on Dec 31, 2011 10:47 PM EST up reply actions
That was Felix Jones' best game in a long time
Maybe it was the best game of his career. Cowboys fans said that they had never seen him run harder. I don’t think the Cowboys trust him to carry a full load. He gets hurt so easily. They probably didn’t want to overdo it.

Can they have Barden run some of the routes
they would normally have Ballard doing? They need to use Barden more,
They need to use him properly
Team Ghost: Manningham, Sintim, Beckum, Barden, JPP, Anvil, Ross
Tom Coughlin: "Respect all. Fear none."
My answers...
1. I hope PF won’t do what he did in the last game vs. the Cowboys. I surely hope he’s not stupid enough to play Osi more than JPP. Give Osi a shot, and if he’s still doing his “running 20 yards past the QB” stuff and not pressuring, then put JPP in. That simple.
2. I think we’ll be OK in the passing game. We will have some key drops – seems to be a recurring theme. Overall, we’ll be able to throw it on them with little problems.
3. If we start off passing a little, I think our running game will benefit. There’s a good chance that we’ll be OK passing on any down, but we have to integrate some running early, too, just to keep them honest. Some of this will fall on Gilbride, which I’m not glad about.
4. We haven’t made a great number of excellent special teams plays, but we haven’t been absolutely horrible either. I guess now, however, would be the time for them to happen. Let’s hope they were stored up somewhere in a can and that someone has a good canopener handy tomorrow night.
5. I’m not so sure the crowd noise will be good if we get behind early. My hopes are that it will be so loud that it’ll cause all kinds of problems for both teams. It seems like the crowd reacts more than they hope. Meaning, they seem to wait until something good happens and get loud, rather than getting loud before something happens. More reactive….
I hope everyone has a good start to a Great New Year. Be careful, be safe, and ENJOY!
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...

I think it means that the money is pretty well evenly divided on both sides. To get a line to move
you need more money being bet on one side than the other. I could be wrong.

Canty is going to have a big game
Bryan Broaddus (former NFL scout for 13 years)
Another matchup to watch is guard Derrick Dockery against defensive tackle Chris Canty. When you study the Giants, Canty is doing a much better job of showing up at key times in making stops. Dockery hasn’t seen action since Week 2, but played very well to his credit.

It’s funny though how some talking heads are jumping on the Canty bandwagon after the safety.

Good
I truly am thankful we are wearing the whites since i know the towel there handing me will be white. I rather be waving the towel with the color of my teams jersey that game not the opposing team although i def wouldnt have minded blue towels with our home jersey. Either way you look at it weve won more games in the road jerseys and this trend will continue.
