This game is really going to test us and its a divisional game at home so one we REALLY need.
1) Eli is a budding superstar (no one hates to say that more than I, I can't stand the Wo-Mannings). He'll play tons better than Mcnubb did against us. Key: We have to get to him early and often and put him on his back, force him to rush throws. If he gets comfy, its going to be really tough for us
2) Tiki torch: bottling up this guy has been really hard for us. He's sneaky. He can beat you real quickly if you don't cut off his cutback running lanes.
Key: eliminate his cut back lanes
3) Plax and Amani: Amani is a much better and more consistent player now that he can be a #2. Eli has two legit targets plus one at TE. These guys are big, but they're not that fast. If Amani hears Roy coming, he'll short arm the ball. We need to make them pay when they do make catches.
Key: get a good bump at the LoS, hit them hard after the catch, beat them up a bit
4) Shockey: still very dangerous. Have to be aware of him.
Overall: This is a very important game IMO. We are both teams that are on the rise and growing up quickly with the tools and talent to beat about anyone on a given Sunday. Their run defense has been a little porous, we need to get JJ going early but their secondary has also been very weak. We should be able throw deep and run the ball well. We should win this ballgame but our defense has to play well and aggressively again. I expect that we'll put up points. This could be one of those "eliminator" games where the winner competes for the division, the loser has a hard time catching back up.
