Rushing against AZ

Post by fabe »

Do you think that Tim Hightower will have a good game against his former Cardinals? He didn't do bad against NY but he didn't seem to have any of that explosiveness that we saw in preseason.

I am looking for Hightower to go over 100 yards in this game and avg. over well over 4 yards a carry.

If the Cards stack the box I'd be happy with 10 carries for 30 yards as long as we make them pay for it in the passing game.

If they play us "straight up" I'd expect 20+ carries for 80+ yards with a few catches to boot.

I think AZ will focus so much on stopping Hightower, we will pass for 400+ yards.

Even though the Giants had Osi and Tuck missing last week, their line was still VERY good, JPP is one man who alone can make a difference.

As said, Hightower did decent against an above or IMO way above average defensive line. Obviously he could have done better, as our OL could have, as well as Kyle (those stretch plays weren't working).

This week, the D line isn't that great, below average if you ask me. This week the running game gets going.
