6. Run-stoppers in focus
The Giants’ potent 1-2 punch of running backs Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw is a tough assignment for defenders because Jacobs (6-foot-4, 264) is a bulldozer and Bradshaw (5-foot-9, 198) is smaller and quicker. The sudden change-up in styles puts a greater priority on knowing which player is in the game and then being fundamentally sound in tackling. Bradshaw did not play in the regular season finale.
