Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots - He's going to be a 100% go IMO, and Fewell is going to have to hope his game plan can limit the damage and at least give the Giants a chance.
Vince Wilfork, DT, Patriots - He's been All-World, all season and if he can be disruptive plugging the run AND rushing the passer as he has been all season it could make for a long day for Manning.
Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants - along with the entire o-line of the Giants, NYers are going to have to be able to run the ball, burn the clock, and power the ball into the end zone when they have the ball deep.
JP Paul, DE, Giants - gotta put hits on Brady, not necessarily sacks, to get him off his game but play disciplined enough to respect the run, which the Pats will pull out of the bag at various times.
Long-shots...
Danny Woodhead, RB, Patriots - I believe somebody brought him up in a different thread, but (especially if Gronk doesn't go or can't last the entire game) his running/receiving could dink/dunk the Giants D to death.
Kenny Phillips, SS, Giants - Pats put a ton of pressure on the safeties, and Phillips is going to be in position to make plays all day long.
