Giants starters will likely play one series at most tonight against the Pats. Hakeem Nicks will play according to sources but don't expect to see much of him out there.
There's some intriguing stuff for Giants fans to watch for tonight.
- The wide receiver battle. Will Ramses Barden have another big game to separate himself and lock a roster spot down? Jernigan, Barden, Randle and Hixon are all vying for that 3rd WR role. David Douglas is the dark horse here. He flashed last week on special teams and had a good game at WR as well.
- Linebackers. There's going to be an odd man out and right now it's seeming more and more like it will be Greg Jones. The Giants have a ton of talent here and Blackburn, Boley, Kiwi, Rivers, Jacquian Williams, Herzlich are all locks. That leaves Massau, Jones and Paysinger fighting it out for that last spot. Paysinger is looking like the man here. He's the top ST player on the team and was named captain last game for his performances.
- Defensive end. That 4th DE spot is up for grabs and Adewale Ojomo is making a big name for himself right now. Adrian Tracy was almost a lock for the spot but got injured and Ojomo has taken advantage. He leads the team in preseason sacks, tackles for losses and QB pressures. Hard to ignore production right? The Giants have some tough decisions here as Matt Broha has also been playing well. Tracy, Ojomo and Broha...we're going to end up cutting some really good players here.
