Giants' Super Bowl Strategy: A New Idea for New York

The pundits are running wild, maybe even more so than the running backs will be on February 3rd.

They have it all figured out, the many things the New York Giants will need to do in order to win Super Bowl XLII. These guys are geniuses—they come up with things even the most mundane NFL fan could imagine.

I believe I've come up with the ultimate ploy—the best move the Giants could make to level the playing field just a little more. More on that later, but first, just a few of the experts' profound observations...

The Giants will have to confuse Tom Brady. Seems easy enough. But if San Diego came the closest to that feat this season, I would not put a lot of faith in that happening. The Patriot offense was overwhelming the second half of the AFC Championship Game.

Another bright idea: New York's front seven will have to dominate the line of scrimmage. Duh, the Patriot front seven will have to dominate also. But the truth is, both lines are fairly evenly matched. So unless one team just goes out and plays better than the match-up seems to allow, I don't see either team dominating.

A final stroke of genius: Eli Manning will have to be the guy to win the game for the Giants. He'll have to have the game of his life. No kidding? Wow, this is great. New York must be one loose team. That's all they have to do—piece of cake.

As promised, however, I do have one more thought:

The Giants should hire Rochelle Washington for a position on the sideline.

Just put her to work on some menial job, filling water bottles or something.

That way, Randy Moss—with the required 500 foot buffer zone—would not be allowed on the field. Talk about taking him out of the game!

Then Plaxico Burress may be right, the Giants receiving corps may well be as good as the Patriots.

Of course, the New York players should also be on guard—if someone ran into her or accidentally stepped on her foot, they may be facing a buffer zone of their own.
