The GIANTS get the honor of opening the Cowboys new stadium this weekend in Dallas, or actually Arlington Texas. The hole in the roof is still there, but now it can be closed in inclement weather. The PSL's for this stadium range from $30,000 to $150,000. It seats well over 80,00 and will have a full attendance of over 100,000. The main attraction is the video board that hangs over the field, it is 60 yards long and 20 yards wide. Basically there will be a 100,000 people watching t.v. in the stadium on Sunday.
The Cowboy defense looked awful as usual against Tampa last week. They gave up plenty of yardage through the air and on the ground. They will be vulnerable to the GIANTS running attack this week, and the offensive line of the GIANTS has something to prove after their poor showing last year.
The GIANTS unfortunately are not at full strength for this meeting. As mentioned before in this blog, injuries are going to slow this defense down a bit before it grows into a dominant unit. No Aaron Ross, no Chris Canty, and a maybe on a few others in the secondary. The good news is that Michael Boley will play his first game for the GIANTS. He should add to the athleticism of the linebacker corp and help slow down the backs and tight ends of the Cowboys.
Look for Eli to switch to running plays often and exploit the Cowboys defense.
If the GIANTS can weather the crowd and very talented Cowboy offense for the first half, they will have a great chance of going 2-0 and take a lead in the division. They need to shut out the distractions and put the Cowboys under pressure. Remember the Cowboys lost their last game at old Cowboy stadium, they surely won't want to lose the first one here.
Cowboys favored by three at home means it's a dead even game.
Enjoy
