EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants have a pretty good hunch what to expect from Minnesota with newcomer Josh Freeman taking over at quarterback for the struggling Vikings. Adrian Peterson to the left. A.P. to the right. Peterson more often than not in the nationally televised game on Monday night between two of the leagues biggest flops this season. Watch the game on TSN starting with Monday Night Countdown at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt. The Giants (0-6) are reasonably sure Freeman isnt going to know the offence totally after just a couple of weeks with the Vikings (1-4). That leaves Peterson to carry the load off, and thats not a bad option with the halfback coming one of the best rushing seasons in league history. "I think hes a different guy," Giants defensive co-ordinator Perry Fewell said when asked to compare him to some of the better backs in the league. "I watched him in the off-season study and hes really good. I see guys hit him, tackle him, beat him up, punch him and he just keeps coming. Hes got an iron will, and hes just a strong runner, and hes got a great determination to make those yards, and so we all have to be on the same page. Well have to swarm tackle. Well have to gang tackle. Well have to see what we hit and hit what we see." Freeman is the bigger question mark for the Giants defence, which has given up a league-high 209 points. He was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this month after a miserable start and signed by Minnesota because starter Christian Ponder hurt his ribs. Ponder is expected to be the backup this week. Freeman started 59 games over four-plus seasons in Tampa with his best being in 2010 when he threw 25 touchdowns and six interceptions. He had four TDs and 12 interceptions in his last six games and his quarterback rating of 59.3 this season was last in the league when he was released. "From the moment he stepped in the building, he wanted to learn. And the way he handled himself in that practice, it changed my mindset about the possibilities," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. "We had a timeframe in mind originally, but watching what he did from the day he arrived, that cemented it for me that sooner was a possibility." When he was with Carolina, Giants middle linebacker Jon Beason played against Freeman a lot, and he knows the quarterback is a competitor. "Hes more than capable, hes a good dude," said Beason, who had a team-high 12 tackles against the Bears on Oct. 10 in his first start. "I know him personally, and he can make all the throws, he scrambles better than people think, so not having him on tape kind of hurts us on the defensive side because it leaves you guessing." Beason said the Giants need to stop the run first, something the team has done well in recent games LeSean McCoy of the Eagles and Matt Forte. Peterson, who rushed for 2,097 yards last season, is special, Beason said. But its a challenge he relishes. "Thats how you define yourself," Beason said. "Its all about what you do against the man. If hes the standard, then you want to see where you measure up." With the Vikings trailing against Carolina last week, Peterson was limited to 62 yards on 10 carries, a season-high 6.2 yard average. He was limited at practice on Thursday and Saturday and did not practice on Friday because of a hamstring injury. He has been listed as probable for the game. The Giants running game is a more iffy with Brandon Jacobs also fighting a hamstring. He did not practice on Saturday and is questionable for the game. If he cant go, the Giants will have to use either veteran newcomer Peyton Hollis, who was signed this week, rookie Michael Cox or feature fullback John Conner. The result is the Giants might have to rely more on Eli Manning, who leads the league with 15 interceptions. The only certainty is that this is a game between two teams desperate for a win. "Certainly we have to approach it that way in our preparation, and when were on the flight to go over there we have to approach this with a must-win mentality," Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway said. "And our coaches need to coach like that. Our players need to play like that. We just have to have that approach all week, that every game at this point is a must win."

Ernie Stautner Womens Jersey . -- The new-look Baltimore Ravens were tough, physical and opportunistic, all good signs for a team seeking another run to the Super Bowl. http://www.footballsteelersgears.com/authentic-terry-bradsha w-steelers-jersey/ .ca! Dear Kerry, What are your thoughts on Zac Rinaldo delivering a hit to Anton Volchenkov early in Game 5 tonight? (there was no call made on it)Michael in NL ----- Hi Kerry, Great to see New Jersey knock off Philly. Mike Mitchell Jersey . They were right, and werent up for the challenge. Allen York stopped 29 shots and earned his first NHL victory in an emergency start, and the Blue Jackets beat the Red Wings 4-2 on Wednesday night. Carnell Lake Jersey . The Red Bull driver won the Korean Grand Prix on Sunday to move ahead of Ferraris Fernando Alonso in the F1 championship standings by six points with four races remaining -- erasing what looked like a commanding lead for the Spaniard just three weeks ago.WINNIPEG -- Their last game Saturday wont affect how either team finishes the current CFL season, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers know theyll be cleaning out their lockers win or lose. You can catch all the action live on TSN at 2:00pm et/11:00 am pt. The Bombers (3-14) will either tie their worst-ever season in the 18-game CFL with a loss or better it by just one game with a win. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (9-8), meanwhile, have made the playoffs and have locked up home-field advantage for their semifinal matchup with the Montreal Alouettes. But both still insist they have good reasons for trying hard Saturday afternoon at Investors Group Field. "Every game means something," Hamilton coach Kent Austin said Friday. "Its important that we play well going into the playoffs. . . Weve got guys that coming back off the injury (list) that either came back last week or come back this week that really need to be on the field and be ready to play and play at a high level so we can carry that into the playoff game next week." One might think he would rest starters like quarterback Henry Burris, to avoid the possibility of injury and ensure theyre fresh for their first playoff game. How much action Burris will see isnt something Austin says has yet been determined, but he will play. "Hes starting the game and we dont have a definite plan with him," Austin said. "We want him to feel good about the way hes playing and have another game under his belt and, like other players, be prepared to play next week. This is another game we want to win and we want Henry to play well." The Bombers, meanwhile, are hoping to end a miserable season on a high note. "Regardless of whether or not we win this game, were gooing to have a bad taste in our mouth," said veteran offensive lineman Glenn January.dddddddddddd "But at least we can feel a sense of pride as we exit the field for the last time in 2013." Some are playing for their jobs and theyve all been told to enjoy themselves, because this team will change next season. "This is the last time that all of us in this room will play together," quarterback Max Hall said they were told this week. "We dont know where any of us are going to be next year. We cant control that but we can control this week and playing the best game we can." Their record has already cost general manager Joe Mack and team president Garth Buchko their jobs. The team has an acting president and an acting general manager. With that as a backdrop, the Bombers are spending much of this week either looking back at their glory days or looking ahead to hosting a Grey Cup in their new $200-million digs. Theyre honouring the 1988 Grey Cup winning team at their final game of the 2013 season. That wasnt their last Grey Cup win but it was close. They won just one more in 1990 and have struck out in five appearances since, their last in 2011. The Bombers said this week theyre bidding to host either the 2015 or 2016 league final at the CFLs newest stadium, although it will lose that honour when Ottawa, Hamilton and finally Regina get new fields in the next few years. Coach Tim Burke says he hasnt heard anything about his future yet but he expects the president and general manager positions will get firmed up before that happens. Until then, Burke says he will carry on wrapping up this season and preparing for the next. "Im getting paid, so Im going to do my job," he said. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
