How is Zeke going to handle the Jints?

[Redball Express]

This has been one of the weirdest weeks I can remember in 50 years of following the team.

After everything is said and done..

how is Zeke going to fair with the Jints?

He has every reason to be distracted in this game.

That's not what I think he'll be mind you..

But I'm interested in opinions from everybody as the game draws near..

And will the Giants taunt Zeke over his court problems and suspension.

Over to you.

 

[darthseinfeld]

He will run angry

 

[NEODOG]

The Giants will all but sellout to stop our running game..... They'll send everyone & everything, at any moment - just like last year

Where we should Excell is with SWITZBEATS.... Line those guys up & have fun!

line SWITZ & Bease up on the same side....Seke Zeke out, #82 do his thing & see how they fare on under 2 seconds passes....let Dez drag all day behind the LB

 

[stilltheguru88]

We can't run just to run. Watching all 22 the Giants played 8 in the box most of the game on early downs and we kept running. It's not an ego contest. If they play us like that, Dak needs to air them out.

 

[SoBlue128]

I hope he is extremely focused and plays smart then carries what he has learned from this experience into his everyday life

 

[Screw The Hall]

Get him involved in the passing game ... early.

 

[Real1st]

He might not even play

 

[windjc]

I imagine he will fair well. He ran over them in game 2 last year and they had Hankins then.

I'd expect 100+ yards and at least a touchdown. I also think Dak will open up the passing game quite a bit.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

If he is in there I want to see him touch the ball 30 times at a minimum.

 

[jobberone]

20-25 carries for a 100+ will do it as long as Dak makes them back out of the box enough.

 

[Hawkeye19]

The biggest change will be Dak. He looks leaner, crisper, and his release is faster than last year.

I think he has done a LOT of work on his game and has had week one circled as a statement game for a while now.

The Dallas offense is built on "pick your poison" and I think they play much better overall than they did last year against the Giants.

BUT-- our secondary looks very shaky and leaky to me. I could see us losing b/c we give up too many big plays in the air.

The secondary wasn't much better, if at all, last year. The Giants averaged 15 points per game against us.

I think we'll have fun. I expect our offense to perform a little better given the departure of Hankins for the Giants. I think on defense the Giants will move the ball against us a lot between the 20s, and then struggle in the red zone as long as we cover the tight end. Eli doesn't have the arm talent anymore to drive the ball in the middle of the field. There will be at least two opportunities for interceptions on Sunday night -- our defensive backs or linebackers will need to catch the ball.

Here's to hoping Sean Lee gets one.

This is a game where I'd start The Sauce if you have him in fantasy. I think Beasley could approach 100 yards receiving as the Giants load the box and try and double Dez Bryant.

Beasley vs their down-roster DBs is a mismatch. Beasley vs any linebacker is a huge mismatch.

We need to go 5 wide and play hurry up offense. When we bunched up with max protect against their blitzes was when we played right into their hands. Spreading our offense out makes them move away from the LOS which then can open up lanes for Zeke.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah that's what I worry about. Everyone's concerned with whether he'll play. I question if he's even ready to play.

That's how the packers smacked them. But our coaching isn't flexible.



Almost every packer highlight is in a 3-5 wr set

He's ready. It's not like he missed practice time this year. He will obviously have other things on his mind but once he hits the field it is game on. You know these guys are different when they hit the field. When it all gets down to it its not whether Zeke is ready or not or if he plays. Winning or losing this week and every week comes down to the defense. Get your popcorn ready butcher.

I have no faith in this coaching staff. Being prepared, in game adjustments, and sticking to what wins games just isn't apart of their preparation. I hope they learned from the GB game last year.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Pretty sure he's motivated to beat Roger Goodell's and Lisa Friel's favorite team.

He has missed practice time.

If winning or losing comes down to our defense every week, meet me in the Draft Zone.
