With all the talk of Smitty, D-Wheel and J-Bird, the forgotten man is...

[top dawg]

Muhsin Muhammad! I am thinking that he is going to sneak at least one TD in tomorrow, and go for at least 80 yards. After he makes his presence known, Smitty will torch the Giants for another century mark and at least one TD.

Don't take this wrong, but I believe that many people on the board are sleeping on Moose a little bit, and this is a good indication that the Giants won't really be ready for him either. Moose is going to play an integral part in the break down of the Giants defense.

I can see this as a very real possibility. I'm not going to guess at the yardage, but I could easily see Moose catch 8-10 balls on Sunday.

[KARASMATIC444]

seems like a reasonable scenario i suppose. it is always easier to run our offense when we get moose going a little bit.

[PantherExpress]

I think they might expect us to go for him early like we've done before. The trick is, we need to keep coming back to him throughout the game, especially the 2nd half.

[PanthersAlv]

I agree.

I believe Jake will be spreading the ball around a good bit when it comes to the passing game to keep the down field drives move'n. Jarrett, Moose, King/Rosario. And with all those Weapons that people tend to forget about, I think that's why people cant' read this Panthers team.

All they hear about is D.Will, J.Stew and Smitty.

My biggest fear this game is that Jake get's "hurried" and he does the "force" toss for an INT. They can't afford that in a game as big as this game will be)

Moose will be a great factor in this game tho, as he has been in the other big games as of late (EX: Tampa, 3 Big First down catches, 2 of which were back to back)

j.bird and d.wheel....NO

[rayzor]

j.bird and d.wheel....NO

seconded.

i do see moose getting in the end zone, though.

[JungleCat]

Yeah, Moose takes pressure off of Smitty and the Dynamic Duo for sure. :thumbsup:

[PanthersAlv]

I can't wait for this game! ARGH!!

[Kyle82]

Jake has all of his weapons at his disposal and I love to watch him play in situations like these. :yesnod:

[The Answer]

He hasn't been forgotten at all, we really need Moose to step up tomorrow, he is going to draw alot of singe coverage, I will be pretty mad at him if he dosen't get alot of catches.

[supamansmith89]

dont forget the giants have a couple of those "sleeper" players too that their forum is probably talking about. steve smith for NY, guys like ahmad bradshaw..

[Badbak]

The reason Moose seems to be forgotten is because he drops about 50% of the passes thrown to him! He makes it up with his blocking and leadership abilities.

Weather will be a factor but not because of cold or snow. It will be wind. That affects a passing game much more than snow or rain.

16-17 MPH wind. Jake needs to keep the ball down tight and accurate. I hate to say it but Eli throws a much tighter spiral than Jake. Good thing is Steve is about the best after the catch in the NFL. The short passing game will be huge.
