After breaking down film, Scouts Inc. gives its take on what to watch in the NFL this weekend:
Can the Packers handle the Giants' pass rush?
Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers is coming off a concussion and a missed game, and the last thing he wants to see right now is the Giants' pass rush -- but that's what he gets Sunday. The G-Men will move their DEs to DT and vice versa , and they will give blitz looks. They do a good job on the rush of not only containing, but also filling all the gaps quickly so QBs cannot scramble.
