Keys to Victory Week 13

1a. Slow down there defensive pass rush...We got to be ready for it this week ....the O line has to be ready to protect Campbell.... I think that we may see the same pressure that Pittsburgh and Dallas put on us...We are probably not going to stop it all together but we can at least beat the D on enough plays to get us enough points to win.

Ib. Slow their rushing attack down...Their 164.9 rushing yards per game speaks for itself but our rush D is also our strength so I think that if Fletch plays and Big Griff is healthy, we can really slow their 3 headed monster down. This would in turn upset the balanced attack that they have had throughout the season.

2. Establish our running game...Ball control is going to be huge for us this Sunday and that is going to have to start with Portis. We may have to mix it up a bit at the beginning of the game because their D is going to line up to stop him but after we get them reeling, I think that we should use Portis and Betts to try to keep the chains moving.

3.Quick releases by Campbell....Campbell has to locate his receiver and get rid of the ball quickly this week...he has to help the O-line against the Giants D.

4.Pressure Peyton...I would like to see the "bad Peyton" in this game and the only way he comes out is when teams get up in his face.

5.Blanket Plaxico...he killed us in the first game but I think that Carlos is playing much better now than he did then and with DeAngelo now aboard, I think that we can concentrate on stopping him more.
