  • Copied!
ELI MANNING: B-I thought Eli Manning did a good job of taking care of the football. You're not going to win a lot of football games in the NFL if you don't get in the end zone, and they were 0-for-2 in the red zone. When you settle for five field goals, that means you're stalling out on drives. 1 / 7

RUNNING BACKS: BI like what Peyton Hillis is bringing to this offense. It's not an "A" because they lack the explosive play right now. I don't think anybody is expecting them to break out a big 50-yard run, but he's doing a great job. I really liked the way Peyton Hillis protected the football in the four-minute offense. He was sacrificing yards for ball security and had two hands on the football. I thought that was a very smart play by him at the end. He did a good job picking up some blitzes, too. 2 / 7

WR'S & TE'S: BI thought Victor Cruz made some good catches. I thought they were adequate. They didn't do anything spectacular. I'll kind of lump Brandon Myers into that as well. He came up with some big catches at big points in the game. 3 / 7

OFFENSIVE LINE: BI think obviously they did a much better job in protection. I think in the run game there could have been a little bit more push at times. There were a couple short-yardage situations where I would have liked to see more, and they did give up the one sack. 4 / 7

DEFENSIVE LINE: AI thought the defensive line did great. They did a great job in the run game. They had a couple sacks as well - Mathias Kiwanuka and Linval Joseph. 5 / 7

LINEBACKERS: B+I think Jon Beason has done a great job for them. They just seem like they're all on the same page and playing well. 6 / 7

SECONDARY: AI thought Antrel Rolle did a great job. He had an interception as well as Will Hill. They did a great job of basically taking DeSean Jackson out of the game. Terrell Thomas had a great game and had a number of big tackles and passes defensed. He had a sack and forced fumble as well. 7 / 7
