Breaking Down The Cowboys vs Giants Game. What Is Your Plan To Win?

What I believe is we have to expose their linebackers as average. That means TEs and RBs Screens... The Giants rely heavily on the D-line and also Landon Collins to cover up weaknesses. Keep the Giants Defense on the field and wear them down with runs and long time consuming plays. I would use Elliott,McFadden,Morris,and Rod Smith and ram them down their throat. 1st half the Giants will hold up but 2nd half they will be exhausted..TIME OF POSSESION not airing it out.. Cole Beasley againist their 3rd corner should be a plus for us. Keep grinding and Dak needs to scramble when they finally get close to him and wear them out even more with his legs besides trying to win on his arm in this game. 2nd half the Giants should be for the pickings in the air after we have them worn out........On defense we need to expose their o-line. LT.Flowers really needs to be on the RT o-line,LG Pugh is piling up injuries be physical with him and slam him down as much as possible .C.Richberg is average other teams he wouldn't start,RG Jerry gets lazy, wear him out with speed, RT Bobby Hart is average and tall long limb DEs and speed rushers should have a field day. .....Hit Eli multiple times take the penalties and keep flooring him all game. he gets happy feet and will wilt.......Shut Odell Beckham down with double coverage a corner and Byron Jones on him every play. Take him out of the game completely... That rookie TE Evan Engram hit him hard over the middle. Heath needs to go for his knees...... Paul Perkins just him hard and let him know he is in for a long day if he gets the football......Well that would be my strategy ,what is yours?

Don't think they can stop us so goal is to limit their offense to 17 or less. 20 likely wins for us maybe even 25.

You need adequate pressure but Eli will get the ball out quickly. Still need the pressure esp for breakdowns and coverage sacks. That really leaves it up to the pass defense. Zak is key I think as they will sell out to stop the run. He has to be able to run and spread them out as well as make those middle, slant and long routes to back them off. Protect the ball is vital. A negative turnover diff is a killer for us.

We'll have to try to confuse him although he's pretty good at reads. Mostly we'll play nickel and dime (as long as we stop the run first) and I'll say Cover two primarily with 2 cover LBers likely Wilson and Lee. I wouldn't ask Jay to start out with that although appears he'll start with two other LBers. May see some 3 DL looks and 6-8 DBs if they can't run well. We'll mix it up as it goes. Probably see some zone outside and man under and middle with a Cover 1.

We'll see. It'll flow as the game goes esp depending on the score. Love to get up 10-14 early and force their game plan to change.

Honest question.......... after watching the first two games against the Giants for Zeke and Dak, how does one conclude that the Giants can't stop us? They pretty much stoned us for two games last year and there isn't much change in either team this year.

I think Dak can defeat them throwing 8 in the box. One loss was his first game. The run game is there. We'll either defeat it 8 or not or Dak will have to back them out. We'll see but odds are we will score 25+PPG.

I would like this but it seems everytime we actually get a pressure on Eli, he spikes the ball into the ground. I can't be the only one who has noticed this

We may score 25+PPG but I keep seeing this notion that we are going to exploit the Giants defense and I am not sure how much that is based on reality or just hopefulness.

Personally, I think the defense is going to have to play out of their minds because I suspect we'll score around 17 to 21 points this game. Certainly not the same as "the Giants can't stop our offense".
