Script THE NATURAL FLOW OFTHE FOOTBALL WEEK HAS ONE DAY OF ACTION, GAME DAY, AND SIX DAYS OF TALK. AND ONE SUBJECT IS DOMINATING LEADING UP TO SUNDAY'S GAME. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IN NEW YORK, EVEN THE NON FOOTBALL FANS, IS TALKING ABOUT THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS OFFENSE. SOT STRAHAN SOT ARMSTEAD WITH ALL OF THE TALK, YOU'D THINK THE VIKINGS ARE ALREADY UP 14-0. SOT STRAHAN THE GIANTS DEFENSE WAS ABLE TO CONCENTRATE SOLELY ON DONOVAN MCNABB AGAINST THE EAGLES, A LUXURY THEY WILL NOT HAVE THIS SUNDAY. THE ISSUE THE DEFENSE IS GRAPPLING WITH IS HOW OFTEN TO BLITZ, DESIGNED TO PRESSURE THE FINE YOUNG QUARTERBACK DAUNTE CULPEPPER, PUTTING YOUR SECONDARY IN A PRECARTIOUS POSITION DEFENDING RANDY MOSS AND CRIS CARTER. SOT FASSEL SOT HAMILTON SOT ARMSTEAD YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IF MINNESOTA'S RUNNING BACK ROBERT SMITH LISTENED TO ALL OF THE ATTENTION PAID TO THE VIKINGS WIDE RECEIVERS AND SAID, AS THEY SAY IN MINNEAPOLIS, "WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER?" HE IS NOT, AND HE HAS ONE THOUSAND 521 RUSHING YARDS THIS SEASON TO PROVE IT. SOT ARMSTEAD BUT THE BULK OF ATTENTION UNDERSTANDABLY GOES TO CONTAINING THOSE TWO GREAT RECEIVERS. SOT SHAUN SOT SEHORN AND EVERYONE IS OFFERING ADVICE ON HOW TO DEFEND RANDY MOSS. EVEN DAVE ... SOT DAVE STANDUP: "NOT A BAD IDEA. LETTERMAN'S SHOW ISN'T CALLED LATE NIGHT ANYMORE, BUT IT COULD BE FOR THE GIANTS IF MOSS AND CARTER START RUNNING WILD. ONCE AGAIN, THE GIANTS ARE GOING UP AGAINST GREAT EXPECTATIONS. CAN THEY SURPRISE THE FOOTBALL WORLD ONE MORE TIME? AT THE MEADOWLANDS ...I'M BUDD MISHKIN. RECAP
