The conventional wisdom is that Drew Bledsoe is a major liability when under pressure, and that Monday's game will hinge on what kind of pass rush the Giants can generate. And that might be the case, but the NFL is a game of adjustments, and Dallas knows about Bledsoe's problems, and they know that Giants know about them as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas does whatever it can - extra blockers, short passes to the backs, quick slants to T.O., draw plays - to counteract that. If Dallas is forced to game plan around getting the ball out of Bledsoe's hands quickly, and not letting him hold onto the ball for very long, then their offense will be limited. The question is whether the Giants will foresee that and concentrate on drilling the receivers and backs after short gains, and not worry as much about deeper routes that take more time to develop. (Of course, in situations when Dallas max protects, the Giants will have to drop back more as Bledsoe's more likely to have time). But I don't think Dallas will let Bledsoe spend too much time with the ball in his hands on most plays - unless the Giants pass rush disappears for some reason.
