The New York Giants are now in sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
-RUN DEFENSE: D. This has been the strength of the team this season.
The New York Giants not only looked bad in their loss to Philadelphia on Monday night, they also lost a chance to put a firm grip on the NFC. Through seven games, he’s panning out to be one of the biggest offseason bargains for any team.
“I think we’re back to the normal routine”, Beckham said. “I don’t think it was the difference”. “You have to prove the doubters wrong”. But first let us take a look at each teams remaining games… He added that focus and effort can carry this undermanned team a long way. “But, I think sometimes they are overthinking a little bit”. “And they have made a few big-time catches in games for us and can continue to do that for us”. That’s a pretty good starting point …
Effort is a great equalizer, but talent also helps.
Linebacker Jon Beason (ankle), linebacker J.T. Thomas (ankle) and right guard Geoff Schwartz (ankle) missed practice, though Schwartz said he expects to be back Thursday.
However, the problem isn’t just with Matthews, who apparently has been dealing with a hand injury for the last month. He [Brees] is a master of that scheme. Maclin had 85 catches for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
“People are looking constantly for the explosive plays down the field”. “We’ve got to do a good job of beating press coverage, beating man coverage and winning our individual matchups”. Rueben Randle has become a viable threat and cannot be ignored by the Saints and Rob Ryan.
“Well, playing there [as a visitor] means that you can’t stop”. It’s just something I have to work through. Payton said the importance of turnovers and takeaways will be ratcheted up in this upcoming game.
– Coughlin addressed the return of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who signed an incentive-laden deal, Tuesday: “He can do jog-throughs. Obviously, he has a ways to catch up on”.
“The biggest thing is not letting it affect you mentally”, Matthews said.
And then, there’s the team that plays in the City of Brotherly Love. Breaux and the Saints seek their third win in a row when they host the Giants at noon Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
