Olivier Vernon
Vernon may not
have picked up any sacks against the Cowboys, but he certainly showed how
disruptive he can be off the edge especially against the run. The Saints
offensive line is not quite as talented as the one in Dallas so look for Vernon
to try and strike big on passing downs.
Odell Beckham
Jr
Last season
Beckham had 3 TD's against in his hometown and would surely love nothing more
than to repeat that performance. Though the Saints comers will probably pay
much closer attention him in this game, the addition of a healthy Victor Cruz
and into the mix could open things up for number 13.
Rashad Jennings
In a turn of
recent history, the Giants running game had a pretty substantial showing in
week 1. Jennings was able to take advantage of open holes up the middle and
gain big when the team needed it most. For this to be a sign that the ground
game is poised to make a comeback, Jennings will need to continue running the
ball with reverence against New Orleans.
Eli Apple
This is going to
be the first big test for the rookie as he goes up against an elite quarterback
in Drew Brees. The Saints offense loves to take its fair share of shots down
the field, so Apple will need to be prepared to get targeted quite a few times.
Though this is only his second game, many will be looking to see how the first around
pick holds up.
Victor Cruz
It was a wonderful
sight to see Cruz back on the field last Sunday, a moment that was two years in
the making. His movements were crisp and decisive, proving to even the most
skeptical fan that he's healthy and ready to go. His presence in the offense
gives a big boost for Manning as he can now spread the ball around instead of
focusing his efforts on one target. With that said, expect Cruz to see more
action on the field in his first home game since returning.
