Makes me think

that this is one of ther reasons Payton made it a point to emphasize the run vs. Buffalo and NY Jets. With the Giants defense ranking 15th in the NFL vs. the rush in yards per game and 27th in yards per carry, it would seem to be a bad strategy to just try to pass it most plays like we did last year. Also, their Red Zone defense seems vulnerable.
