My game plan on offense would be setting up the run by coming out passing. They're going to be keying on stopping Portis, and if we can stretch the field for him, it could be a long day for the girls. Whatever we do, the Oline MUST control the line of scrimmage to give the QB and RB time and space in which to operate. We cannot expect Ramsey or Brunnell to do what they need to if they don't have adequate time. A real break out game from Portis would be nice, and may not be as difficult as we'd tend to think -- Dallas is currently 26th against the run.

On defense, we need to mix it up and do what it takes to pressure Teste. We also cannot allow Eddie to move the chains for them. Make them beat us throwing the ball, and Teste will make enough mistakes, and our secondary will make enough plays to kill potential scoring drives. Taylor will get his first pick as a 'Skin tommorrow if we can enable him react to a flustered and hurried QB.

Regardless of gameplanning -- I like our odds if we can avoid the penalties and turnovers that absolutey killed us last week. If we take back even two of those turnovers against the Giants, we're 2-0 instead of 1-1.
