Rashad Jennings has sub par numbers, from very very few carries. Suddenly he's going to become a workhorse back? Meanwhile Dallas has just gotten two of its best D-linemen back, and its starting MLBer, who seems to be playing really well.
I totally get it townsend, but I feel like the Giants are turning the corner here.
Outside of that fumble in Philly, Jennings has looked good the last three straight weeks. It's when they start trying to include Williams that they seem to lose offensive rhythm. Jennings doesn't have to carry them either, just present a capable option along with passes to Vereen.
Recall also that McClain has been brittle and the interior DL still sucks against the run. They aren't built to last long. If New York is still running in the second half, this is going to be a tough game.
God save us from an offense that managed to get one TD on an Eagles defense over the course of a game.
Eli and company were overly generous yesterday. Manning threw two picks. Jennings fumbled... that shat's not going to happen again, right? Besides, OBJr will be one step healthier. Trends don't lie, and the Eagles just pwn NY in one game every year. Meanwhile New York has lost to Dallas 5 times in a row, mainly thanks to Romo.
What are the odds of six in a row at home with no dez, no romo, and a new QB and RB in their debut games?
Meanwhile their defense made 2015 Demarco Murray look like 2014 Demarco Murray. Bradford won that game decisively with 3 interceptions, but somehow Cassel has to come in there and be perfect?
Remember, Dallas's defense is built around the offense possessing the football. Philly's defense is the exact opposite-- they expect their O to go three and out or worse. Fletcher Cox is an animal for them and keys a stout, tough front.
The Dallas defense is built on 11 guys running gassers hustling to be in two places at once. Outside of Hardy, none are built to take that or remain stout in the face of a second half running game.
Lastly, Cassel has been interception prone over his career. It's a lot to expect him to excel in his first start on the road vs. a division opponent.
I see no problem scoring 17 points. We must run the football late and keep the Giants out of rhythm.
