Live in NYC and get to watch all the Giant games here locally. Many of their fans are shocked that they won their 1st 2 games. Here is what I think, the keys of beating them:

-Primary goal is to contain both Barkley and Daniel Jones on the ground. When they have offensive success it's usually when either player makes a big play running the football. Jones is much more athletic then many realize. This might be a game where we see Parsons play more as a linebacker, especially the early downs.

-They have 2 talented young Tackles, but they are still in the developmental stage. Neal would be the Tackle to go after as he has had some early struggles. Their interior OL is average at best. Their OL is still a major weakness.

-Receiver position has a few weapons, where it seems Sheppard has the most trust with Jones. Toney had a big game against us last season and he needs to be accounted for. Force Jones to throw in tight windows as he usually is good for making mistakes.

-Leonard Williams, their best defensive player may miss this week's game as he has a sprain knee. However, their prized pass rusher from Oregon is expected to make his debut. Their DL is the strength of their defense.

-Their DC, Martindale comes from the Ravens and likes to blitz a whole lot. They will come at us everywhere on the field. However, outside of Jackson, they have very green corners.
Neal is rated one of the worst OT in football but the other kid is ranked top 3. --yes pff numbers so likely some of that is fiction.

Unfortunate that attacking their corners will be tougher with a backup and limited WR corps.
But we will try to run at them and test both the rookie DE and Leonard Williams play strength returning off injury.
Interesting game that should be close but with us favored.

I expect them to spy Daniel Jones with LVE as they did Burrow.
It frees up Micah to chase and cause a fumble on strip plays from behind.

Offensively, it's going to be about picking up the blitz and soring td's in the redzone.

Off topic but curious. Has anyone seen either of Washington’s games. Aiden Hutchinson had 3 sacks Sunday. Anyone know who they were on? I want to see Parsons on him lol!

Dallas knows they are going to blitz a ton so likely rely on run game then play action passing.
Allow their own defense to create turnovers and short fields.
Take a couple deep shots on 1st down when they play less pressure.

End of day scheme only helps so much.
NYG lacks talent on both sides of the ball.

When they cover 1 or Cover 0 it they'll be relying on far inferior players than he had in BMORE.

I saw someone state the Giants are the worst 0-2 NFL team in history. That may be a stretch but this wasnt some Dallas homer take.
Daniel Jones is on his last shot and the Ginats are the NFCE team most likely to finish 4th in the division.

Should be a even match up, but we should have the defense to stop them. Game should come down to a field goal.

Both Gnats & Igglets will come down to earth very shortly. No worries in that department lol.

Certainly a surprise. You are right better talent usually wins, unless you make mistakes.

Overdue to start getting turnovers in our favor. Could come down to that and a special teams play.
