It can not be stressed enough how important it is for the Giants to rush Drew Brees on Sunday.

If recent history is any indicator, quite a lot.
“Just a bad day overall, bad technique”, Smith said of his performance, which included being burned by Saints receiver Brandin Cooks for a 98-yard catch and run. I was costing our team points. There are two teams in the NFC South that I would definitely start quarterbacks against if you’re ever in a pinch with your go-to guy, or you’re looking for a sure-fire touchdown or two. Don’t expect production like he had on Sunday every week, but Snead should be consistent enough in this high-scoring offense to warrant flex consideration every week. New Orleans can absorb the $4.5 million cap hit for 2016 and a $2.5 million cap hit for 2017. Or, in this case, not enjoyed.
Manning finished with 207 yards on 19 of 28 completed passes. He was inactive in week one for what Coach Payton calls a numbers game. So we’ve got a new offense.
Ideally, they won’t be in that situation.
Denver’s police chief said he talked to Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall about riding along with officers after the player’s decision to kneel during the national anthem on opening night to protest racial oppression and police brutality.
“If it has to go down to that”, he said, “guns blazing”. But Sean Payton indicated Spiller was healthy this offseason and poised for a bigger role, again drumming up excitement of the possibilities for a dynamic dual-threat back in the Saints’ proflific scheme.
The eight-year pro was a leaky disaster.
“Bottom line you can’t look at last year’s (game) and say that’s the type of game it’s going to be”. Remember that Ben Watson started slow a year ago as well, and we know how great of a tight end pick up he turned out to be. It just wasn’t a good showing. “You just have to move on, have a short-term memory and be ready to roll”. And promising rookie Darian Thompson will play safety, where the past-his-prime Brandon Meriweather was a year ago. And now New Orleans. And more importantly what not to. “He’ll bounce back. He’s going to be a good player for us.(his play) was not what we need and he knows that”.

Jonathan Casillas – and presumably other players as well – avoided looking at the atrocity that was their defensive performance against the Saints a year ago. “He’s still throwing for 5,000 yards like he is a young kid out there and it looks like he is having fun like he has always been doing”. He really is. (But) some days it’s going to be like that. How many National Football League rookies have made such a huge play in their first game? The Raiders overcame a 14-point second-half deficit to get the win here, and Carr would finish 24-of-38 for 319 yards and a TD. Instead, he said, he wants the defense to show that it will do better. They were defeated 35-34 at home by the Oakland Raiders due to a converted two-point conversion late in the game.
