Cowboys Receiver Miles Austin against Giants Cornerback Prince Amukamara:
The last time these two teams met, Amukamara did not play and the Cowboys were able to take advantage of the situation by torching the Giants secondary for 16 catches and 3 touchdowns. With Amukamara back in the lineup, the Giants are in better shape but there still are some things that I feel that Austin will be able to do route wise that will cause him problems. I have never felt like that Amukamara was that physical of a corner and when he plays against receivers that are, he tends to struggle.
Cowboys Offensive Tackle Doug Free against Giants Defensive End Justin Tuck:
In studying the game against the Panthers last week, I thought that Doug Free played to a level that we had seen from two seasons ago. With so much attention being placed on Jason Pierre-Paul how Free manages to block Tuck one-on-one will tell you how the Cowboys will be able to move the ball on offense. Free understands the type of moves and the power that Tuck likes to play with so there will be no surprised there.
Cowboys Nemesis
In his brief NFL career, Victor Cruzhas been outstanding overall against the Cowboys as a play maker. The problem when you face Cruz is that he never lines up in the same place whether that is in the field or down near the red zone.
Giants Nemesis
Over the years the one player that has given the Giants the most fits in matchups is DeMarcus Ware. Throughout his career, other than the Eagles, Ware has sacked Giant quarterbacks more than any of the other teams he has played.
Giants Under the Radar Player
It hard to believe that Martellus Bennett would ever be considered an under the radar player but in this case he is. This is a very talented Giants football team on offense but Bennett has done a nice job of fitting in with this group and making productive plays.
There still are times where Bennett has been hit and miss as a blocker but where he really has helped the Giants as a down the field player.
Cowboys Under the Radar Player
The Cowboys sign Ernie Sims on Wednesday and that same morning, he is on the field practicing with the defense getting ready for the Giants on Sunday. Sims is a veteran player that understands what he has to do scheme wise on run fits but more importantly how to play in coverage.
In the games I was able to study, he was dependable handling crossing routes, carrying tight ends and picking up backs out of the backfield.
