Ruining a perfect season is something hard to forget, the New England Patriots are preparing a new way to make the Giants pay back for the offense committed on November 6 on this new opportunity at the Super Bowl XLVI; and revenge is a dish that taste better when its cold served. These are some of the key players that should stand for the Patriots and are an important factor to claim their revenge.
In the past days, we have seen Rob Gronkowski dealing with some ankle injure that made every Patriot fan thinking about the worst Super bowl doomsday outcome. They can be thankful now that boot has gone, but we know this may affect his performance on the game. While it seems that he has recovered, everything indicates that he won't be at 100%, but this doesn't mean he is not a dangerous factor for the Giants touchdown zone.
Besides of Gronk's threat, the Pats also count with Aaron Hernandez who is in shape to do all the damage he could do. He possibly will be the one who catch the major quantity of passes from Brady's throws during the game. The season has been good for Hernandez, catching 79 passes and has scored seven touchdowns, this definitively make him one of the edges at the Patriots sword of vengeance.
To give the Pats offensive a chance, the task falls over Kyle Arrington and his fellow CB's. Intercepting some of the passes made by Manning will give the Pats a to keep ahead of the game. With 7 passes interceptions and 88 tackles on his records, Arrington is one of those key players who have been a pillar in the weak defensive backfield of the Patriots; constantly improving and progressing during the whole season and the playoffs. We may see him early making runs and jumps looking for every chance to turn up the winds on the Pats favor.
Pass Rush is something you can expect from both teams, with the Giants having the advantage because their Pass Rush has been one of the most effective during this season. So it will be tough for the Patriots trying to keep Brady's uniform clean, but here is where Mark Anderson should do his magic. The Giants may try to keep Vince Wilfork under control because of his exceptional performance in the last two games, so it will Anderson task to create chaos and destruction on his path to add some edge for the Pats. Anderson has 10 sacks scored during the regular season but he was kind of missing on the playoffs. If the Patriots want to win and get their payback, he must rattle some skulls again.
The New York Giants are a very strong team, and shouldn't be taken lightly. The New England Patriots will have a tough game, but not impossible to win, getting revenge is at reach of their hands.
