The last few weeks here we have been speaking of the need to return to Giants Football. Holding the opponent under 75 yards rushing, 4 Sacks, 2 Int's, 4 Fumble recoveries, a partially blocked punt, and rushing for 200 yards on a windy day in the Stadium with 35 minutes of ball possession. I would say THAT was GIANTS FOOTBALL.
The pressure on McNabb was relentless. The Defense actually forced a few more fumbles that the Redskins were lucky enough to recover, or this could have been even worse. Jason Pierre Paul is showing his potential, and the safeties and corners continue to play exceptional football.
The Offense again was supposed to struggle. If you were listening to Moose Johnston, the Giants were going to have just an awful time protecting Eli (No Sacks in 4 games) and running would be near impossible with their make shift line. Tony Siragusa pointed out that the Redskins knew that Mario Manningham was the biggest threat and would eliminate him from the passing game. What were the Giants going to do? How could they ever win this game? Would they adjust, or just fold up and go home?
Well, after the first two drives, the first where they ran for every yard but 2, it was pretty obvious the O-Line would be fine and the Giants were on their way to a good day and a big win in the division at home.
Unfortunately this week will be all about will Brett Favre play or not......spare me.....I'll check in with you Friday as the Giants finish up their three game survival mode, and look for the cavalry to return for the stretch drive to the playoffs.
