Reallly need this guy to have a big game. Stopping the run first and foremost and providing push so Ware can get to the QB. With Ratliff, Spencer, Crawford, Bass out Hatcher just became on of the most important guys on the defense. I think hell embrace the multiple roles and do well, one of the few guys who has truly gotten better with age.

The importance of him playing well is obvious but we are going to need the entire DL to step up until Spencer and Rat are ready.

If Hayden can hold up in the middle without help, Hatcher should have a very good night. Giants keep focusing on Ware but the key is Hatcher. And if we can get any pressure from the strongside, Eli will be scraping himself off the turf on every down.

I think the key is whoever is playing that SDE spot at any given time. If we can't hold that edge we are going to have to change to a 43-over alignment and/or blitz more and that is really going to expose us against the pass.

We really need to come out and control tempo in this game. The commitment to the running game has to be there.

Will be interested to see how they hold up, we have no-one bigger than about 305 lbs. on our line.

The biggest key to beating the Giants is pressuring Eli. Forcing him into turnovers is what usually gets the Giants beat.

I just don't want to see Eli dinking and dunking down the field all night long. Our LB's better be prepared for the short stuff over the middle. If we can't get to Eli, I'm afraid this is going to come down to who gets last possession.

I think you will see some blitzes to help generate more push. We have the talent in the Secondary to blitz. Time to use these guys to there strengths
