NYGAnalysis: The Giants are listed as
favorites to win the competitive NFC East, but in my opinion they
will have a tough time to confirm this status and these struggles
will start in week 1.
Without WR Plaxico Burress, the Giants didn't make any substantial
upgrade in their receiving corps and unless Domenik Hixon, Steve
Smith, Mario Manningham and first-round pick Hakeem Nicks enjoy
some improbable big seasons, the Giants once again will run the
football! Yes, they have horses in the backfield in Brandon Jacobs
and Ahmad Bradshaw, but at the same time, they look a pretty
one-dimensional offensive team and they will struggle against a
good Redskins' defensive team.
The Redskins were seventh in run defense, seventh in pass defense
and fourth in total defense last season. Only five teams allowed
less points than them! In the offseason, Washington added pro
bowler Albert Haynesworth to their line and now they look even
better. He is a defensive tackle, but he still mustered 8 1/2 sacks
of his own last year and the Redskins will improve their lack of
pressure on opposing passers - tied for 28th in sacks and 28th in
takeaways last season! Also with him in the field the he is a guy
that demands a constantly double coverage from the opponent and
that's why the Giants will have a tough time to put points in the
scoreboard.
Obviously the Giants are a great defensive team as well, no
question about that, but we have some important mismatchs favoring
the Redskins. QB Jason Campbell didn't make a great season last
year, but many forget the fact that he was learning a new system
and this takes time to adjust. Anyone who thinks a quarterback can
get the hang of that system in Year 1 should go back and watch old
tapes of the some QB Superstars in their first season. Regardless
the display of Campbell, the Skins' play a conservative playbook
and they are less prone to huge offensive dropdown plays. Like the
Giants, I expect them to be a run oriented team. However I cannot
ignore the fact that the Giants secondary is banged up for this
contest. That's because starting cornerback Aaron Ross and
valuable reserve cornerback Kevin Dockery are sidelined with
hamstring injuries, so the Redskins with wideouts Devin Thomas and
Malcolm Kelly will give Campbell more reliable options in the
passing attack in addition to the solid Chris Cooley and Santana
Moss and look them to give some problems to the Giants.
This game is pretty similar to the Steelers/Titans, two good
defensive teams that will make the offenses work hard to score. I
was with the Titans last Thursday and for this contest, we have in
a similar situation and that's why I'm taking the Redskins in
here.
