against a team like the giants. we knew really, we played them in november that the giants would be a team that would go deep into the playoffs. fortunately we're here, too. so get one shot and plan on giving it our best. >> i believe the intensity is already going up another notch with our practices and our preparation. i expect for the running backs this week to run a little harder, receivers to run a little harder and try to get a little faster and you can expect for us to hit a little harder. i don't know about the bloodbath, but i know it's going to be a really physical team, because only one of us can win. >> i think if we win this game, i'm not thinking about that right now. i am thinking about winning games. this time of year speaks for itself. had a that is how you do your targeting and just focus on the

game and prepare all week. >> biggest threat to the 49ers defense is new york's impressive array of receivers along with the pinpointing throwing of eli manning. mario manningham is expect ed to play. and hakeem nicks with two touchdown passes and slightly dinged up, but says don't sell the giant receivers short. >> we know they put a question mark on us at the beginning of the season. but you know, that is it what guys look forward to. you know, when you doubt us, we look forward to stepping up to the challenge. i think we have been doing that all season and we remain humble and we're confident and have a good quarterback. >> we're consistent on defense. we got offense -- ours might be a little more explosive, but they showed that they have that

knack too in the new orleans game. it's going to be a really good game. the momentum for us right now is skyhigh. >> you don't have to wait much longer to see how it all plays out. it gets started on channel 2 on fox tomorrow morning at 2:00 with the one-hour pre-game show "return to glory." and the fox pregame show followed by the game and we'll see you afterwards for "the point after." >> colts owner jim irsay expected to hire former coach next week. tressel is reportedly had two interviews for the job that opened up when jim caldwell was fired on tuesday. the first grand slam tennis tournament getting down to the seeded players as they advance to the fourth round. serena williams against greta
