KEY GAME INFORMATION
NY GIANTS: Long-time offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is gone, but O-Line coach Pat Flaherty remains in place to improve an awful run game (83 YPG in 2013, 29th in NFL). The Giants lean toward a lot of gap blocking, and their upgraded personnel on the offensive line should create more opportunities this season. New top back Rashad Jennings fits what they do as a downhill, no-nonsense type of runner. He'll take the bulk of the work with David Wilson, if he's back from neck surgery (a big if), taking on a change-of-pace role. Andre Williams and Peyton Hillis seem to be insurance in case Wilson can't go this fall.
This will be Eli Manning's first year without Gilbride either calling plays or working with him as QB coach. New offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, a tight ends and quarterbacks coach in Green Bay, should bring more creativity and a West Coast look to the passing game. Expect more underneath, catch-and-run work for Victor Cruz and slot options Odell Beckham Jr. and Jerrel Jernigan, with Rueben Randle working as more of a traditional field stretcher. McAdoo would like to utilize a lot of two-tight end sets, but he'll do so only if he can find two that are good enough to stay on the field. The backs will do more pass protecting than most, but McAdoo will mix in the screen game to utilize Jennings' receiving ability. Assuming they mirror what the Packers typically did inside the 20 last year, expect a lot of throwing inside the red zone until they get inside the three.
The Giants lacked a pass rush in 2013, but then let team sack leader Justin Tuck walk. But they bolstered their secondary by adding tough CBs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Walter Thurmond, and also signed stud LB Jameel McClain.
ST LOUIS: The Rams' running game found its footing in the second half of last year. They use a variety of looks behind a scheme that is heavy in zone blocking, utilizing a fullback and two tight ends, and running out of shotgun sets. Zac Stacy will be the workhorse. He thrived running in space behind the creative blocking schemes, especially on the perimeter. Rookie Tre Mason figures to take a decent workload behind him, as the Rams look to keep both their undersized runners healthy and fresh. The 224-pound Stacy will once again likely take on a monster red-zone workload, as the Rams tend to go very ground-heavy near the goal line. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's playbook is full of short drops, play-action and catch-and-run situations. Tight end Jared Cook emerged as the No. 1 target by default, as the Rams effectively move him around to find mismatches. They're hoping Titans cast-off Kenny Britt can take over at split end and provide a true No. 1 receiver. Tavon Austin figures to have a more consistent role this year, and they'll use him throughout formations. Chris Givens will be a deep threat again, and expect more screen-game work for Stacy, as Mason isn't ready to passing downs. When they throw inside the 20, quarterback Sam Bradford will usually look for one of his tight ends: Cook or Lance Kendricks. Britt might also work his way into the red-zone mix.
This team has an NFL-high 105 sacks since 2012 and new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will make sure that doesn't change with basically the same personnel plus some rookies. The Rams recovered 11 more fumbles last season than in 2012, and scored five defensive touchdowns for the second straight year.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW (NY GIANTS-ST LOUIS) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Giants-Rams Preview* =====================

Eli Manning will no doubt be targeting the dynamic Odell Beckham Jr. this weekend.

They will be going up against a St. Louis Rams defense that hasn't yielded a touchdown in three games.

The Rams seek to become the first team in 14 years to go four games in a row without yielding a touchdown when they host the New York Giants on Sunday.

If there is any intrigue in this matchup of eliminated teams, it will be whether Beckham will reach the end zone since he is quickly developing into one of the NFL's most exciting players.

Beckham caught 12 passes for 143 yards from Manning last Sunday with his first three-touchdown effort in a 24-13 home win over Washington. The rookie, who missed the first four games with a hamstring injury, has a team-high nine touchdowns and his 972 yards receiving have set a team record for a first-year player.

He has 71 catches, including 46 in his last five games with an NFL-high 62 targets in that span.

"I don't want to get his head too big right now, but he has a lot of skill," Manning said. "You hope he keeps working and grinding and doing the little things to correct. There is still room for improvement."

St. Louis (6-8) is bidding to become the first team to go four straight games without allowing a touchdown since Pittsburgh went five in a row in 2000. The Rams have never gone four straight games without yielding one.

The Rams' pass rush has produced 35 sacks in the last nine games after amassing one in the first five. Manning, set to make his 166th consecutive regular-season start, was sacked 19 times during New York's seven-game slide from Oct. 12-Nov. 30 though he has been dropped once in consecutive wins since.

"We have our work cut out for us and we are going to have do an exceptional job with our pass protection, with our recognition of blitz," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "Gregg Williams is the defensive coordinator, there will be a lot of pressure involved in their plan. They blitz more than anyone else in the NFL. I believe it is like 44.7 percent, so you know what to expect."

Starting running back Rashad Jennings is uncertain for the Giants (5-9) after he re-injured his ankle last weekend. Rookie Andre Williams would receive a sixth start.

St. Louis has had extra time to prepare after being eliminated with a 12-6 home loss to NFC-leading Arizona on Dec. 11. The defeat caused finger-pointing in which tight end Jared Cook said afterward that the Rams were "outcoached" and "outplayed."

Cook said the next day that he regretted those words.

"Nobody wants to be in the position we're in, nobody wants to have the record that we do," Cook said. "Our record is our record, it shouldn't have been said in the manner in which I said it."

Cook was part of an anemic offensive display in which the Rams managed 280 yards and Johnny Hekker matched a season high with eight punts.

The Rams have been hurt by injuries on their offensive line. Tackle Jake Long is out for the year with a knee injury. Left guard Rodger Saffold is at less than full strength with a nagging shoulder injury that will require offseason surgery. Injury-prone center Scott Wells is wearing a brace covering his left arm while right guard Davin Joseph is a journeyman.

"We've got to get better at it. We need to be able to line up and say, 'Here we come. This is what we're running. Stop it,"' coach Jeff Fisher said. "We're not there yet."

The line problems will be an issue against a resurgent Giants pass rush that has produced 22 sacks in the last three weeks for a total of 41 - fourth-best in the NFL. New York ranked 26th in this department before the outburst that included Jason Pierre-Paul and Johnathan Hankins combining for five sacks last weekend.

New York owns the NFC's worst run defense, allowing 135.1 yards per game. St. Louis rookie Tre Mason averaged 89.5 rushing yards over a four-game stretch before being held to 33 by the Cardinals.

Coughlin and Fisher are familiar foes as division rivals from when the former coached Jacksonville and the latter was at Tennessee. Fisher is 12-7 overall against Coughlin with five straight wins and 10 in the last 12.

"Jeff Fisher is an excellent football coach and we've played against him for many years," Coughlin said.

The Giants have taken five straight in this series.
