Hakeem Nicks out vs Panthers

[The Huddler]

Gamble will shutdown Cruz

[PhillyB]

don't count ramses barden out. dude could surprise some people.

this will be a tough game undoubtedly, but this definitely tips the scales more in our favor.

[The Huddler]

No Manning wont

[CRA]

Nicks being out actually worries me. At least when Cruz and Nicks are on the field we know who Mannings favorite targets are. Now that Nicks is out Manning could start throwing to an unknown that we didn't do a good job of scouting. I'm worried that Manning will make a relatively unknown WR for the Giants look like a superstar.

Means he throws heavily to Cruz and his TE. They have that rookie Randle from LSU.....

We need to make sure Norman and Cruz don't get matched up.....Norman ain't got the wheels to keep up

I would trust Norman against Cruz. He's done well against Colston and V. Jackson so far, considering he's a rookie.

LMAOOOOOO MORTENSEN JUST CHANGED HIS PICK!

Schefter also changed to the Panthers. Let's see if Golic and Wickersham change as well.

Norman is our slowest CB....and Eli loves to fling it vertically. Neither of those 2 have Cruz's speed and moves. Norman needs to be on whoever isn't named Cruz.....bc Eli is going to pick on him all night

CRA basing his entire argument off 40 times.

Gamble will be on Cruz at least for the most part

Norman's main assignment will be either Ramses Barden or rookie Rueben Randle. ...I think he can hold his own against either of those two.

[Argus Plexus]

Do NOT sleep on the Giants, no matter who is hurt.

[panthers90]

So, I don't see anyone bringing up the fact that Barden is 6'6". This means Captain on him is a no no. It will be Gamble on Cruz most of the game with Norman on Barden most of the time- his physical nature will be good against Barden.

I don't know his 40. Cruz is Eli's favorite target Thur and his game plan is to pick on the rookie.....why the heck would anyone want to create a perfect storm and put it all together.

Norman isn't as good yet as people are thinking

[Catalyst]

Holy poo, that's huge that Nicks is out. Gamble will handle Cruz for the most part and Josh Norman will have a much easier matchup. I heard Hixon is hurt as well, so even if he does play he's not 100%.

It's like we're playing the same team as last week, only with a good front four on defense. If we can handle that pass rush we can win this thing.
