Giants players to watch
RB: David Wilson, DJ Ware. David Wilson was a pleasant surprise against JAC last week. I expect him to get some playing time with the starting offense thus playing against the starting defense of the Jets. How will he fare? And DJ Ware has been very solid, and has a chance to be the 3rd down back AND goal-line back for the GMen, so it will be interesting to see how the Giants use him.
WR: Jerrel Jernigan, Rueben Randle, Domenik Hixon, Ramses Barden, Julian Talley. There have been talks about a committee at the no.3 spot. So this game will be the chance for any of these receivers to break away from the pack. Also, I want to see Talley play, he has potential.
TE: Martellus Bennett. The Black Unicorn looked very good against JAC, and even pulled in a TD. However, that was with David Carr. I want to see how he gels with Eli.
DL:Linval Joseph. With Canty still out, Austin out, Rogers out for the year, and probably some others I am missing, Joseph will have a shot to showcase his talent and ability.
LB: Mark Herzlich, Keith Rivers. The ILB battle continues. Herzlich is closing the gap on Chase Blackburn, so the next game or two from him will be crucial if he wants to be in that starting lineup.
CB: Prince Amukamara. He was both poor and great last week. He got burned once or twice, then he forced a fumble and got the offense the ball back. Will Prince show the potential and ability the Giants raved about when they drafted him a year ago? Hopefully we find out.
S: Will Hill. He was very solid last week. I expect the Giants to use him a little more with the starting defense to play the Deon Grant role. He is a big sleeper on the Giants defense, and hopefully he can work out for us.

Game Expectation:
I expect tonight to be a back and forth game. We will see good things from both sides. I am anxious to see if the Jets show us a little of that Tebow wildcat formation that many have raved about. Ultimately, the Giants depth will be the factor, and I think they will be a little too much for the Jets.
