Washington run game will be focus of Giants’ defense

Musings, observations and the occasional insight from Week 2, and an eventful NFC East showdown between the Cowboys and Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field… Tom Coughlin told the media after Sunday’s loss to Atlanta. But sometimes things just happen to roll your way. Drew Brees is hobbled, giving the 2-0 Panthers a shot to knock the Saints to 0-3. In winning, the Cowboys have also loss. So each of these golf equipment are wanting up on the Redskins, who’re 1-1 after going 7-25 the previous two seasons. Randle has been suffering from tendonitis in the knees and has only four catches in the first two weeks.

After Chip Kelly was given the power to reshape the roster in the offseason, he practically eschewed every key cog of his offence for what was supposed to be a new-and-improved attack. He has not practiced all week for the defense and is questionable for game time. But we have to finish the game. By then, the game was out of reach without some sort of miracle. The line struggled protecting Manning late last week, but it also seems to be on the verge of getting the running game going.

Last year’s performance was memorable for the undrafted free agent from Grambling. “I’m not anxious about rushing yards”.

He had just one carry for -4 yards verses the Cowboys on Sunday.

-TE Jerome Cunningham (knee) has been declared out of Thursday’s game against Washington, there is no word regarding the severity of his injury or how long he might be sidelined. Yes, the Giants are 0-2, but so are the Eagles, who look awful. Somehow, Washington looks to be in the catbird seat by default, but just in case you forgot, Kirk Cousins is their quarterback. The Bills have gotten close to beating New England many times before in the past 15 years, but they usually come up short in the end.

Washington Redskins Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams was looking ahead to his surprisingly in-the-thick-of-it team’s early showdown against the New York Giants, coming up on Thursday night. After the first week of games, the Redskins were ranked 29th of 32 teams. Of course, this all goes away if the Giants don’t win in week three. Already without superstar wide receiver Dez Bryant, who will miss anywhere from 8-12 weeks, will now be without quarterback Tony Romo for at least eight weeks.

On the other hand, the Redskins linebackers could be without one of their starters as Perry Riley Jr. nurses a calf strain. Nothing hurts worse than knowing that you were in control of your game, only to sit there and blow it in the end.

The good news is that while the Giants haven’t pressured quarterbacks the way they are accustomed to, they have been stout against the run thus far in 2015.

Ryan’s crew did it for 16 games in 2009 and 2010 when the Jets went to the AFC title game both seasons. Opponents have run only 101 plays, scored 20 points and had the ball just over 22 minutes per game, gaining a total of 469 yards. Even with the chaos of Manning losing track of the score, the clock and the timeouts, all it would’ve taken was one stop by the Giants’ “knife through butter” defense. Yes, but there is very little they can do about his situation at this time so they have to deal with what they have. Washington is far from being called a good team just yet. If the Giants can avoid the same fate, things will look much brighter despite a brutal opening to their season. So Washington has a slight edge. The Packers vs. Chiefs game is on Monday, September 28, with the analysts feeling Aaron Rodgers will easily take his Green Bay team to 3-0.
