Philadelphia Eagles VS New York Giants in NFC East Battle
Twice a year the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants meet and the gloves come off and the records get tossed. This time around it works for the Eagles with their losing 3 and 6 record and their many injuries to key players.
During the game against the Arizona Cardinals, Michael Vick suffered cracked ribs but his injury was not the only one to cause concern for Andy Reid for the upcoming week. Struggling with injuries, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson may also miss the upcoming NFC battle.
On the verge of elimination from the NFL playoffs everyone anticipates that Vince Young gets the start and has the game of his life as the Eagles ride their thoroughbred hard this week. First half MVP for this team LeSean McCoy will be the X-Factor against the Giants defense.
The Giants will need to comeback from a lack lustre performance against the San Francisco 49ers. While playing inconsistently this year, the Giants front line can force a rusty quarterback like Young to make mistakes, but they got to be on their game to make that happen.
The Giants should look to pressure Young early and often during this game utilizing safety blitzes along with linebackers moving up on the line. On most snaps Young should see eight defenders until he proves he can chuck that ball down field.
So what about the Giants offense and Eli Manning who has quietly become a top ten quarterback ion the National Football League. More and more teams around the NFL now have to take him seriously when planning for games against the Giants. Manning will be the player who wins this game for the Giants.
