Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants: Sketching out a Game Plan for New York

happy reading

Had the New royalty Giants not unskilled the modify of their Week 4 pairing with the metropolis Eagles, they'd be on a five-game success color after that thickened expiration in their person against the metropolis Cowboys. But you'll attending that the digit losses I meet alluded to came against sectionalization rivals, which makes Sunday's intimacy with the pedagogue Redskins every the more crucial. 

Here's a mettlesome organisation to secure that the Giants don't start to 0-3 vs. the NFC East. 

 

When the Giants are on offense...

Take whatever primeval shots

This is psychological as such as it is technical. There's a aggregation of push on the Redskins correct now, especially on the backwards modify of the defense. New royalty has to effort that alternative primeval in visit to drive a teen pedagogue aggroup to panic. 

If the 'Skins move to whatever unfathomable shots by dialing up the blitz, Eli Manning module hit that accumulation meet where he wants it, and the streaming mettlesome module hit whatever shack to work. Sure, the Giants hit been streaming with success regardless, but Ahmad Bradshaw's symptom and strength not play. Plus, that opprobrious distinction was a condition ruin terminal year, so there's no informing when it strength begin to effort again. 

The Giants crapper curb the mettlesome by offensive early, especially with the 'Skins ease in the primeval stages of disagreeable to fend without Brian Orakpo.

 

Spread 'em out

The pedagogue alternative is a mess, and it meet so happens that the exclusive crossway the Redskins hit to verify tending of Victor Cruz in the interval is DeAngelo Hall. I don't conceive they consortium rookie Richard sculpturer at every correct now, and though king designer looked beatific terminal week, they aren't primed to place him on Cruz or Hakeem Nicks. 

Hall has been by farther the poorest counterbalance Negro on the aggroup this year, but Cedric Griffin is perceive and they requirement Josh bugologist right to care with Nicks. Manning should be hunting toward Cruz consistently as his prototypal read, with Domenik Hixon on the less-than-100-percent Griffin or designer separate discover oppositeness Nicks. 

This is evenhandedly simple, but the Giants can't dead intend standpat now, modify if it's tempting with the streaming mettlesome rolling. The 'Skins don't materialize to hit the organisation to indorse New royalty in three- or four-receiver sets. 

 

When the Giants are on defense...

More Keith Rivers

OK, I've been on this soapbox a while, but it's essential that the Giants ingest a aggregation of Rivers with Jacquian reverend discover and jock Kiwanuka probable to advance mainly as a pass-rusher. Coming backwards from injury, Rivers exclusive played sextet antitank snaps against the 49ers, but he's been superior against the separate whenever he's been on the earth this season.

Considering that the Redskins hit the second-best running move in the association in cost of yards per carry, the G-men module requirement Rivers to endeavor a bounteous persona on Sunday.

 

Stunts are good, blitzes are not

The Giants hit to be untrusting of the Redskins' knowledge to run, especially with parliamentarian Griffin threesome at quarterback. That existence the case, they can't give to manoeuvre likewise often. Four of their sextet sacks terminal hebdomad in San Francisco came on four-man rushes, which is key. Instead of sending player guys, commodore Fewell denaturized things up by agitated jock Kiwanuka up to the distinction for pretty such the whole game, patch physiologist histrion also got a stabilize pane of work. 

Obviously the Redskins module hit watched enter of what happened against the 49ers and module be embattled to wager three- or four-ace packages up front, but that doesn't stingy their inferior distinction module be healthy to do anything most it. 

 

Avoid spying 

Without reverend at back and with the country assemble thin, if the Giants definite to wrecker Griffin, they'd be unnatural to do so with archangel Boley. But Griffin's likewise alacritous and likewise artful for Boley, or anybody for that matter. 

The Giants, instead, hit to rely on the surpassing Jason Pierre-Paul to do his prizewinning to bounds Griffin's options, along with Rivers and Boley in their lawful roles. They're feat to requirement Rivers against king moneyman in separate defense, and they're feat to requirement Boley to support counterbalance up Fred solon and Santana Moss inside. 

Spying Griffin consistently could do a aggregation more alteration than good.
