Watchdog

Just when I thought the indigestion was over . . .

I'm currently listening to an executive from Johnsonville Sausage (headquartered in Sheboygan Falls, Wisc.) on WFAN, and I once again am being carried back to Wednesday's lunch:

There was a Polish food festival at the NFL Films cafeteria in Mount Laurel, N.J., in honor of Ron Jaworski, with whom I ate said food after watching Giants-Packers tape. (More on that Sunday.)

I tried the works: golabki, kluski, kielbasa, babka, chrusciki . . . you name it. I just told them to give me whatever Jaworski had. It did taste good. Jaworski went for seconds.

Here are some stats Jaworski gave me as researched by the crew from State Farm NFL Matchup (8:30 a.m. Sunday on ESPN):

In two playoff games, Eli Manning's statistics against blitzes are 14-for-15 for 171 yards and two TDs, with no interceptions. His rating is 153.8. "Incredible numbers,'' Jaworski said.

This might not matter Sunday, because the Packers don't blitz much. They came at the Giants six times in 42 dropbacks in Week 2.

Amani Toomer has been thrown to 12 times in the playoffs and caught 11 passes for 154 yards and three touchdowns. "Scary,'' Jaworski said.

Beating bump-and-run press coverage will be a key for the Giants. In Week 2, at least one and often two or three Packers corners set up in such coverage on 56 of 58 plays.
