Giants don't tip gameplan with this week's inactives

The Giants played just two defensive tackles against the passing Colts last week. Did they dress just two defensive backs today against the running Titans?

No. In fact the only DB not playing is Michael Johnson, who has missed the whole week with a back injury and was already listed as OUT for the game.

And for anyone who thought Linval Joseph might get a chance to play today to help clog up the middle, you were wrong. Don't fret, I'm among you. Joseph sits once again, but Rocky Bernard is active along with Dave Tollefson.

Shaun O'Hara, as suspected, will not play today. Adam Koets gets the start at center. In a perfect world for him, as he noted earlier in the week, no one will even notice that.

The other inactives for the Giants: Ramses Barden (who sits behind Victor Cruz, who gets his first homnetown regular-season action), LBs Phillip Dillard and Chase Blackburn (expect Blackburn back next week), Will Beatty and Duke Calhoun.

Justin Tuck, who was listed as questionable and sat our Friday's practice with a sore left shoulder, will play.
