RB, RT, and FS all out. Will it matter? Do our coaches read the injury reports? I curious to see what Barry does knowing that a backup RT who has never played before is in the game. This is the perfect game for the defense to step up. We will see if Barry actually has a clue.

If the Giants were going to have 3 guys out... these 3 were on the short list of most expendable. I'd probably say the FS (Thompson) is the biggest loss out of the three: he has played well and helped stabilize a position that has been terrible for the Giants in recent years.

At RT, injured Marshall Newhouse has been the whipping boy on our line... fans constantly complain about his sub-par play and wish we had better. Still, he was starting so he was the best guy we had. His back-up (Hart) is a former 7th round pick who has proved to be below average in just about every facet so far in his career... not terrible quick, strong or technically proficient. We'll see... depth is certainly hurt, if another guy goes down the Giants are awfully thin.

Running backs are a dime a dozen in the NFL... outside of the handful of studs that exist. Next man up.

So you would think the Redskins will bitz manning b/c of the shaky oline. Its just common sense. But with Barry no one knows.

What's up Gman?

I still haven't forgiven your team for orchestrating a salary cap penalty in a year without a salary cap for contracts previously approved by the league. Not now not ever!

If you don't hit home with the blitz, though, the Giants *should* be able to torch the Redskin D with big plays.

I still think the best bet for y'all is to play coverage and force the Giants to march the length of the field and score a TD. New Orleans (a team not known for defense) used this strategy last week against the Giants to good effect. Giants continually shot themselves in the foot and failed to capitalize with TD's.
