Now we get the guys who have to cover the likes of Randy Moss, and Plaxico Burress. No fun, especially not in a Super Bowl. This is where you can get burned, and have to live with it the rest of your life. If you get torched in a regular season game, people will probably forget about it after the next game, or at least after the next season. Get lit up in the Super Bowl, and you will never live it down.
The Giants come into the Super Bowl banged up in the secondary. Sam Madison, Kevin Dockery and Aaron Ross were all listed on the injury report heading into the NFC Championship game. The Giants will need all them at the tops of their game to match up with Moss, Welker, Stallworth and the rest of the people the Patriots throw at you.
The Patriots have the luxury of locking Asante Samuel on Plaxico Burress. Samuel is a Pro Bowl corner who is very opportunistic. If he can make a play on the ball, he will. Also in the defensive backfield, the Patriots have veteran leadership from Rodney Harrison. He’s often called the dirtiest player in the NFL, but he has been at it a long time, and he knows how to play safety.
I think the battle of who can stop the other teams as they try to stretch the field with the pass, will factor heavily in who wins the game. I have to pick the Patriots over the hurt and undermanned Giants.
