On offense:
-attack their slow linebackers with screens (maybe Jones, Choice, and Ogletree).
-Also look for the mismatches with Bennett and Witten on their LB's. Only Boley could POSSIBLY hang with those guys.
-Run right at Umenyiora, he's terrible on run defense.
-Use that for play action passes to Austin. (Pick on everyone in the secondary, especially C.C. Brown)
-Avoid Corey Webster.

Defense:
-Do what we've been doing. They're aren't really many outstanding elements to their offense that we can't handle with the way we've been playing lately. Bradshaw poses a threat, but he probably will still be hobbled (he missed the Denver game with a sprained ankle). I think our secondary can handle their WR's... they've improved since the first meeting while the Giants WR corps have been 'figured out' so to speak. Nicks is always a threat and Smith is dangerous on 3rd down. Boss, although very solid and capable, is almost irrelevant because they neglect to use him.

This is how you beat the Giants. Run the ball and hit them down the seams with Witten/Bennett. Use play action to get he safety to bite and hit Austin/Roy over the top or on a deep slant. Their safety play is atrocious, if you can get them to respect the run/middle of the field you can make some big big plays on them.

Offense---------I attack their linebackers with short, quick passes over the middle and on shallow crossing routes. The G-men have been playing alot of "shell defense" with both safeties deep on passing plays. This means the middle of the field and down the seams is wide freaking open!!!

Defense---------I play the pass first by dropping 5 or 6 guys in coverage and dare the G-men to march 80 yards running the ball. With only 1 healthy running back I dont think they can run on us drive after drive. All we have to do is prevent the big pass play and we got this.

How would I game plan? Probably however Jerry told me too, just like the current HCs.

D: Stuff the run / O: Run the ball, play action pass.

Giants have issues all over the place. The offense stinks AND Manning has issues. (is he out now?) They are having troubles stopping the run. Make them commit to stopping it, then play action deep.
