This can be undoubtedly going to become another traditional battle in the backfields. Titans RB Chris Johnson is planning to eclipse the 2,500 mark in total yards this season, and following only gaining 30 yards final week against the Steelers he's poised for any large rebound week against the Giants. The newly featured back for the Giants,Donald Driver Jersey, Ahmad Bradshaw,Wholesale Jewelry, continues to be looking for his 1st 100+ yard game but has nonetheless looked stellar running behind a sub-par offensive line with out the help of a decent blocking TE. Brandon Jacobs will try to demonstrate his worth having a more poised outing this week too, which hopefully will not involve one more helmet becoming launched to the seats of New Meadowlands Stadium.

For the Titans, CJ2K will probably be trying to exploit the Giants' perceived inability to include their opposition's ground game as evidenced by the blowout loss towards the Colts final week in which they gave up 160 yards to Indy's backfield. But a potential bummer for CJ2K waits while in the wings,Denver Broncos Jersey, because defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is not going to be utilizing nickel and dime packages this week to stop the run. That's appropriate, on the other side from the coin the Giants' No. 1 priority on defense will probably be utilizing their linebackers this week to stop the run and get further pressure on the Titans QB,Wholesale Links Jewelry, regardless of whether it be Vince Youthful or former Giant Kerry Collins. Titans Coach Jeff Fisher said he will not be looking at film from the Giants/Colts game last week due to this precise scheme adjustment. We are able to all anticipate to view former Titan LB Keith Bulluck joined by LB Michael Boley and LB John Goff this week taking nearly all the snaps while in the middle in the defense, in what exactly is sure to be the key match-up to watch defensively for the Giants.

Side note: The loss of Antonio Pierce this past off-season and naturally the void left by the irreplaceable Michael Strahan has taken its toll on the morale of this defense. The Giants have considering that been without having that crucial presence on the defense that gave the team its identity. Bulluck, nevertheless, was an outspoken team leader for all of the ten seasons he played for Tennessee. How he responds to playing his former team will probably be one of the things to watch this week. Perhaps a game against his former team will light a fire and give the closure needed for him to grow to be that much required vocal presence and defensive leader inside the Giants locker space for the rest with the season.

So Big Blue will no doubt be ready for CJ2K, but simultaneously the Giants will wish to put their very own backfield within a place to control the clock, and with it the flow with the game. With much better execution at home this week, the Giants will search to help keep Johnson along with the Titans off the field as much as possible having a dynamic offensive game program that can feature a heavy rotation of Ahmad Bradshaw,Air Conner Shoes, Brandon Jacobs and DJ Ware to ease the strain of Eli Manning and his young receivers. A lot even though depends on which offensive line shows up for the Giants. Will it be the weak bookend edition from the line where David Diehl and Kareem McKenzie can't hold a block to conserve their lives? Or will it be that vintage 2008 Giants offensive line that led their offense to boast a league leading rushing attack? Former Eagle and two-time Pro Bowl lineman Shawn Andrews and backup center Adam Koets could have some thing to contribute this week when the former line exhibits up. Irrespective, TE Kevin Boss will probably be back inside the action soon after a concussion this week and with him probably the general execution that's been lacking inside the trenches will return for the Giants offense also.
