2 sacks. Eli is hard to get to because for all his faults, he has fantastic pocket awareness.

The real question is, will they sack him when it matters most in this big tv audience spotlight game? :muttley:

We still owe them for the Romo broken collarbone.
I'll settle for a win and some hard sacks though.

The Giants will probably come out with screen passes and draws and WR screens to start the game. Try to get the DL to back off the rush. Be interesting to see what happens.

However if our O can get a nice lead, Eli will be forced to throw down field and that will be the right time for sack time.

Look for the 2 second release also. They seem to have their best success using that on us.

One of my favorite lines is Mincey saying how he loves the Rubber Ducky sound Manning makes when you sack him.

Flowers Pugh Richburg Schwartz Newhouse

Flowers is a rookie and our rookie Gregory owned him in college. Pugh was too weak to play tackle. I look forward to seeing him deal with 98. Richburg has some talent but the two on the right side are best described as journeymen. I particularly look forward to the DLaw Newhouse matchup.

I see a long night for Manning to the tune of about 4 sacks and several errant throws.

Seriously... that is their OL....holy sack the QB time...

Just get to him. We seem to have trouble getting to him in the past even in the Demarcus Ware days.

Would be great to get 5 or 6 sacks, force a few INT's, a fumble.

But probably asking for too much right there.
I say 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 2 INT's caused from pressure that would have been sacks.
If we get more than 2 sacks, they will come later in the game when they have to pass, so we can tee off on that. Get 1 or 2 more.

I say they sack him on his first 12 pass attempts and then the Giants give up and just run the ball. :laugh:

They have a offense designed to get the ball out quickly, we need to get a lead and force Eli to hold the ball longer.

We only sacked him twice total in two games last year, and we have a better pass rush this year, but Eli is still going to give us a bunch of three-step drops, so I'll go with 2 sacks and several significant hurries and pressures.
