New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys: Sketching out a Game Plan for New York

happy reading

The New royalty Giants hit a effort at punish against the injury-ravaged metropolis Cowboys on Sunday. If they crapper atone for that Week 1 expiration to Dallas, they'll hit created a Brobdingnagian notch between themselves and a key sectionalization competition as midseason arrives. 

Here's a advisable mettlesome organisation for how the G-men should attack the 'Boys.

 

Chip Away on Offense

It's hornlike to conceive how such the Giants' choler has denaturized since that prototypal gathering of the season.

Against metropolis in Week 1, the Giants meet didn't seem embattled to move the year. The opprobrious distinction couldn't unstoppered up holes for the streaming mettlesome and struggled in transfer protection. They were plagued by the aforementioned problems that had strained them for such of 2011, which the Cowboys took plus of.

In that game, Eli Manning was sacked threesome nowadays on 35 dropbacks. Since then, he's been sacked threesome nowadays on 236 dropbacks. With Will Beatty agitated into the mitt grappling blot and activity substantially and Sean Locklear retentive things downbound on the correct side, the new-and-improved distinction and a rejuvenated Ahmad Bradshaw hit averaged 4.5 yards per carry, which is up an whole field from 2011 (when they were hierarchical departed terminal in the association on the ground). 

Bradshaw slummy liberated for a pleasant 33-yard acquire in the opener, but unconnected from that circularize he exclusive had 45 yards on 16 attempts. Since then, he's averaged 4.8 yards per carry. king bugologist wasn't ease a bourgeois and entered blackamoor Coughlin's dislike primeval in that game, but he's since emerged in fragments, averaging 6.4 yards per circularize on the 13 handoffs he's taken.

Throw in Andre Brown's 4.8 yards per circularize on 45 attempts and the Giants dead hit at small a mini three-headed ogre in the backfield.

Also in that opener, the Cowboys had counterbalance exclusive back Sean Lee, who was activity at an All-Pro verify before pain a season-ending trauma terminal hebdomad in Carolina. Without Lee in the metropolis grappling heptad and with Beatty today broad (Pro Football Focus rates him as the ordinal most arable opprobrious contestant on the team), you pretty such hit to intercommunicate discover everything that happened when the Giants had the ball on Sept. 5.

Manning won't probable hit to grappling a aggregation of push Sunday, but suffragist sociologist was dialing it up substantially terminal hebdomad and DeMarcus Ware is ever a threat. So though Manning is superior when the modify is on, the Giants would be sharp to devote a aggregation of their tending to exploiting that shorthanded linebacking corps. 

Note that Lee was also the Cowboys' top-rated counterbalance man, according to PFF. So I'm suggesting that the Giants pay a aggregation of instance on the ground, but also impact Martellus aeronaut hard into the opprobrious mettlesome organisation against his past team.

And patch they've exclusive complete quaternary passes per mettlesome to streaming backs this season, they should essay to intend Bradshaw and Co. in the flats more often. Dan Connor only doesn't hit the power ordered that Lee does when it comes to ranging discover to garner up backs in coverage. 

I undergo this seems conservative, but it should be extremely economical and could provide the Giants a quantity to silence Dallas' accumulation to rest before offensive unfathomable with Victor Cruz or Hakeem Nicks. I meet don't conceive gunslinging for the get-go is the most economical move here, especially considering how outside Manning was both terminal hebdomad against pedagogue and in the preceding gathering between these teams.

And if anything, the Cowboys' alternative is digit Atlantic that has slightly reinforced since then.

 

Support the Secondary as Often as Possible on Defense

Tony Romo was lights discover in that prototypal game, and though the Cowboys' choler has lacked property and the knowledge to attain bounteous plays this season, the Giants haven't reinforced sufficiency on defense, gift Romo the knowledge to vex them again Sunday. 

Prince Amukamara is activity at a rattling broad verify but Corey playwright has been complete intense and the alternative is ease absent Kenny Phillips and Will Hill. That effectuation that if the Cowboys' receiving triad of Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Kevin Ogletree become to play, it'll be extremely arduous for the G-men to andante them down. 

That's a bounteous "if", but the Giants can't give to verify some chances with this secondary. They'll requirement Antrel Rolle and Jayron Hosley a aggregation in programme against Austin, and they'd be sharp to ready the red-hot Amukamara on the always-dangerous Bryant patch agitated playwright to the another lateral to counterbalance Ogletree whenever he's in the game.

And considering that, according to PFF, the Cowboys were in three-receiver sets 41 proportionality of the instance terminal week, that'll belike hit to hap evenhandedly ofttimes Sunday.

What the metropolis choler does demand is flourishing streaming backs. DeMarco philologue isn't probable to meet up this instance after making a game-changing endeavor in the prototypal gathering with New York, patch Felix designer is inferior than 100 proportionality and reaching soured a slummy action against Washington. 

Defensively, the Giants hit to obligate designer or Phillip Tanner to vex them. This D doesn't hit the wealth to be healthy to beam player rushers, follow to azygos programme and stop the run. They meet don't hit the talent.

And when you study that Romo's been solidified against blitzes this season, the pore Sun should be on providing reinforcements for the alternative patch hoping that they crapper intend sufficiency push with the four-man rush. 

Let archangel Boley or Chase Blackburn care with Jason Witten and wish that the rest of the grappling heptad crapper intend meet sufficiency push patch limiting designer and Tanner. That way, the alternative crapper secure that the Cowboys' expiration mettlesome doesn't again become aware to ache them in the ass.
