The JRADM show needs to clarify a few minor details from the previous post:
It's a shame J-Rod has to resort to mis-leading stats in order to sway the readers view on this matchup. I, Da Man, have no "horse in this race" so here's the actual numbers.
1. The Giants Pass Def: The "unstoppable" "explosive" "juggernaut" pass D is ranked 29th out of 32 teams. But look at the last couple of games, the Giants look like they are running through offensive linemen!! Looks are deceiving so lets go inside the numbers. They are ranked 29th giving up 255.1 y/g. Maybe the D was much aligned in the early-middle part of the season. So how bout in the last 5 games? They've given up, 369, 321, 185, 258, 289 yards in the last 5. That's 284.4 y/g, 29 y/g higher!
Are they getting to the QBs of late? Sure, they got to Rex Grossman, Mark Sanchez and Tony Romo (with a swollen hand). Yes, they got to those guys. But whats the point of getting to the QB on 1st down only to give up a 30yd pass on 2nd?
On the flip side, Matt Ryan has thrown no INTs in his last 4, correct. But Ryan has also thrown for a shade under 300 yards in the last 5* (*Matt played very little in the 1st half as the Falcons went up 42-0, so the number reflect 4 of the last 5 games). So a QB coming in averaging just under 300yds against a team giving up just under 300 yds and a key matchup is the pass rush? Huh?
2. Juilo Jones: He wasn't mentioned as a key matchup. Why? Because J-Rod has no idea who he is.
Now, my personal take:
How can you vault your Def AND say it'll be a shootout in the same post?? SMH

We hear at the JRod and Da Man Show are fully aware on who Julio Jones is. The blog was listing KEYS to the game and it tended to stay away from irrelevance. I J-Rod apologize for Da Man's oversight in his blog.
