The Front Four and No More

The only way the Giants can win this Super Bowl and that is with the front four. I don’t think that the G-Men can blitz and leave studs one on one like Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Ben Watson, and Donte Stallworth just roaming free in the secondary. The only way to win is if Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Michael Strahan can make Tom Brady dirty. Now they don’t have to sack him 12 times like they did Donovan McNabb but they need to hit Brady on just about everytime he drops back to throw. I say on the first pass play of the game they need to get a 15-yard penalty, nothing dirty, just something to let Brady know that they will be there all night. To me Spagnoli cannot be blitz happy with what he does. Now understand that I’m not saying not to blitz at all just be very smart about doing it. For the most part the pressure needs to come from that front four. They will not have a chance unless that happens.
