Giants’ Secondary vs. Sam Bradford
Allowing Rex Grossman to pass for 305 yards in Week 1 didn’t do much to help the mood surrounding the Giants’ makeshift secondary, which was weakened by injuries during the preseason. The Giants say their mistakes are correctable, but Bradford — despite an injured finger — has the arm to hurt the Giants if the uncertainty returns. Look for safeties Antrel Rolle and Kenny Phillips to be more of a force if the Giants are to show improvement.
Number to watch: 75
That was how many rushing yards the Giants totaled in Week 1, with starter Ahmad Bradshaw recording 44 yards on 13 carries and his backup, Brandon Jacobs, getting only 6 touches for 29 yards. The Giants moved away from the running game against the Redskins, but establishing a ground attack is imperative if they are going to have success. This week could be a prime opportunity for the backs to break out: the Rams allowed 236 rushing yards in Week 1.

“I plead the fifth.”
