The Good News:
In no particular order – Jim Sorgi, Jason Pierre-Paul, Linval Joseph, Antrel Rolle, Deon Grant, Aaron Ross, Jay Alford, Chris Canty, Ramses Barden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Andre Brown and Brandon Jacobs are all playing and these are players to keep your eye on. Each of them have something to show the Giants organization tonight, as well as the fans.
How the Giants air attack squares against the Jets secondary will be interesting to watch, particularly since the Jets have not signed DB Darrelle Revis yet. And whether the ground attack can manage respectable gains against one of the leagues best rushing defenses — it will be interesting to watch. And will the Giants defense under Perry Fewell be up to the challenge?
The game is tonight at 8pm. Check back here for post game analysis when it’s all over.
