I would agree - the one thing we have going for us is that both of their starting tackles are injured and listed as Questionable, which might making running to the outside more difficult. The Giants depth chart only has one backup tackle listed (and he's only started 1 game this season), so if both T are out for the game I'd imagine they'll be doing some serious shuffling or signing guys from the practice squad or something.

Two replacement tackles would make for some pretty vulnerable ends there. Hopefully another big day for Phillip Daniels!

And Tiki ran for 206 yards on us last time, so clearly they know how to gameplan for GW.

Not trying to be pessimistic, hell I'm as excited as anyone could possibly be for this game - I just think Tiki is awfully hard to contain this year.

I think the Giants are going to come out throwing the ball. It is very clear that we are going to try and stop the run. I could see some reverse, flea flicking action from the GMen of our key on the run. Hopefully we can contain and run the ball ourselves. This game will be a dogfight for 4 quarters. I will be in an airplane just dying to know what is happening.

We have to over-compensate for Tiki. Be ready to sell out on him and make the sophomore QB beat us. I think Manning can be good but he has shown some downside lately and we have to hope he continues that this weekend. A nice kill shot from Taylor on Barber early on like #53's hit on Witten would be nice. Nothing serious just enough to get their backup playing the first half.

I missed the last Giants game, but from what I have read Tiki had great success running to the weak side of the formation. They ran away from the the TE and LB Washington one of our strongest LB's.
I read that Warrick Holdman was run over, he had a terrible day. Some of our other LB's failed to show up.
I think Lavar is going to have to be inserted as the weakside LB on 1st down and obvious running situations. It is time for Lavar to earn his money and stuff Tiki in the backfield.
