I would have to say no, the run game is finding its way to work even for Betts, and the passing game continues to emerge more and more threatning.
Heading into New York i am excited to see how we put pressure on their defense

Osi and Strahan are the fierciest pass rushers in the league. they can catch ol' Brunell on those rollouts.

my newly refreshed man-love for Santana aside, i hope we don't have to pass so much in this game and instead keep hitting him in the mouth with Sellers and that awesome Samuels/Dock train Portis rode up the middle last night.

nothing would make me happier than brusing up AP with Sellers. unlike Lavar who really wanted to stay, AP turned his back on the team that made him somebody. AND he totally gave up our entire playbook and field calls the week before the 36-0 blowout. thats a traitor right there.

Pish-Posh and Papicok. I think your right we cant plan to roll away if they are on both sides and with Pierce in the middle but NY has so many gaps beyond the line of scrimmage, I would expect us to capitalize every time they sent a blitz. O-Line is really playing well and NY has probably the best and deepest depth in the NFL on their D-Line. Should be a great challenge for us. But how could they cover our guys???????????

yeah the same was said about Jacksonville's Dline, but unlike them the Giants have actually proven they can rush the passer.

i don't see the amazing set ups and time Brunell had this last game. i can see us using the short quick pass air game we used vs. the Texans with the occasional playaction downfield strike, but ONLY if Portis is racking up the yards.

I don't know if this example will work, but ... Saunders' playcalling reminded me of playing the Cowboys or the 49ers -- back when they were good, in the early 90's -- on the old Tecmo Super Bowl Nintendo/Sega game systems.

I only use that example because I have yet to play Madden ... anyway, I always chose the Redskins (naturally) and when playing defense, you were honestly knocked on your heels when playing those two teams. You just didn't know who to defend: Double team Irvin? Aikman would make you pay with Harper and Novacek. Or, it's 3rd and 3, do you line up in the nickel to play pass, or get burned on a draw by Emmitt Smith? With the Niners, you had to pick your poison -- Would you try to blanket Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Brent Jones? If so, you had to deal with Roger Craig and Tom Rathman running all over you.

I believe it's shaping up to be exactly the same in real life with the Washington Redskins. If we can get solid consistent play from the O-line, Portis, Moss, Cooley, Randle El, and Lloyd will have D-coordinators sweating in the booth not knowing what the hell they're going to do.

Saunders seems to have blended the two offenses pretty well. He can power run, finesse run and beat you with passes short, medium, and long. This team will put up some points, now.
