Previewing Browns-Giants
BBI has the best preview I've read so far. It gos into some interesting matchups like Ebenezer Ekuban (who is replacing Brown but is a bit banged up - sore groin) at left defensive end facing Giants RT David Diehl. He is reported to show flases as a speed rusher, but since David Diehl did reasonably well against Jevon Kearse, we can expect another strong game from him.
The main concern seems to be the Browns backs and receivers. If terrell Suggs is healthy he may be a problem and William Green is a solid back up. The Browns receivers have big play ability as does Jeff Garcia. While not much of a preview, Yahoo sports offers a history lesson masquerading as a preview that covers the Giants disaster caused by Garcia and San Francisco.
The SportsNetwork stresses how important the running game is to the Browns, but offers none of the matchup info that BBI does. Marla Ridenour offers an in depth analysis of Ryan Tucker's backup, who will be asked to block Strahan (with help from his friends).
MSNBC talks about how the Giants are trying not to look past this game.
