What happening?
Giants Keys For Success:
1. Create better field position. A combination of short kickoffs from Lawrence Tynes and short punts from Jeff Feagles too often leave the already-sagging Giants defense with bad field position. Opponents regularly get the ball out near the 30-yard line on kickoffs, and Feagles is sending the ball out of bounds barely 40 yards downfield. Tynes might have to go with more of his squib and mortar kicks at FedEx Field and hope for fortunate bounces.
2. Pound the ball. The Redskins present problems in that they are solid in stopping the pass with cornerbacks Fred Smoot and Carlos Rogers, although the Giants have had some success in the past targeting the Washington safeties. Still, the Redskins are more vulnerable on the ground and that's where the Giants need to attack, especially if they can take advantage of the aggressiveness of Washington's upfield pass rushers. The Giants have yet to get a 100-yard rushing game from Brandon Jacobs, who looked on his way to that figure last week vs. the Eagles but the game became a wild shootout.
3. Sack the lapses. The Redskins are not a big-play offense, but they have some capability, especially with wide receiver Santana Moss. The Giants are known as a big play waiting to happen with their suspect defense, which continues to have baffling communication issues this late in the season. The basic concept of players knowing and carrying out assignments will go a long way in containing a Jason Campbell-led offense that is not overwhelming in any way. Giants coaches might have to simplify some defensive calls to achieve this.

Redskins Keys For Success:
1. Defend downfield. That means stopping the double-moves and limiting yardage after the catch. Giants wide receivers Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith both excel in the latter department. Washington's secondary, at times, has been sloppy with its tackling. Also, Smith is a great route-runner;
2. Control the line. New York's offensive line is no longer considered one of the best. They have not opened running lanes as in the past. Also, the Redskins have applied more pressure thanks to rookie Brian Orakpo and Andre Carter. Too often QB Eli Manning has been comfortable in the pocket. New York is starting rookie William Beatty at right tackle, and Washington must take advantage.
3. Slow the rush. New York's defensive line has struggled, but it still has rushers who can beat Washington's offensive tackles. The Redskins have lost three straight to New York because of big plays made by the Giants' ends. Campbell has been more decisive and quick with his releases, which helps. If that continues, they'll make big plays vs. this secondary.
