If the injury riddled Giants can get past the Eagles tonight they take a commanding lead in the division standings and their schedule moving forward includes a three-game stretch against the Romo-less Cowboys, the Breezy 1-4 Saints and the rookie directed 2-3 Buccaneers. Davis has a track record of “teaching” concepts to players, which was his primary role with transitioning the Eagles defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4. During the past year or so, Eli Manning has reinvented himself under New York Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. “We’ve got to do our job and we’ve got to go out there and play smart, handle the crowd noise, hopefully get off to a fast start and try to calm them down”. For a 2-3 Eagles squad that has had more than its share of problems on offense, a win would mean a tie for first place in the NFC East.

With three straight wins to their credit including a last-minute victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, the New York Giants can solidify their position atop the unpredictable NFC East with a win in Monday night’s showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles. But memories of a three-game win streak crashing down last October in Philadelphia thanks to a 27-0 shellacking remain fresh. Prince Amukamara, their best cornerback this year, is out from two to four weeks with a partially torn pectoral muscle.
Monday is the latest test, and how Billy Davis puts together a plan to attack Odell Beckham Jr is one of the biggest challenges heading into Monday night. I’m curious to see how Josh Huff does replacing Nelson Agholor on the outside. Hosley is no stranger to being in that situation. “We will let the hotel and the league investigate”, Panthers spokesman Steven Drummond said.
“I’ve always felt like he’s an accurate thrower, and he still is”, Spagnuolo added. But the Giants’ coaches and medical staff will have to be convinced, based on the way he warms up, that he can play at a high level and not injure himself more seriously if they’re to give him a uniform for this game, no matter how big it is. Kelly is 22-15 in the regular season and 0-1 in the postseason.
Needless to say, the Giants are going to be shorthanded for this contest, and by exactly how much still remains to be seen. This year, he?s on pace to set new career bests in both categories.
“Way different”, Rodgers-Cromartie said. They feel they’re starting to find their way back. He’ll face the coach who drafted him in St. Louis.
As mentioned above Eli Manning is playing a few of the best football of his career 5 games into this season. LeSean McCoy led the Eagles with 99 yards rushing in his last game as an Eagle, and Jordan Matthews had 105 yards receiving. The unit has yet to allow a 100-yard rusher this season. The injections can take up to a month or more to get working and Cruz will need to start practicing before he can get close to making it into a game. However, the total has gone OVER in five of the Giants’ last seven road games, and in seven of Philadelphia last’s 10 home games.

RB – It has been almost impossible to predict the Giants ground game this year and that will probably honestly continue. Conversely, the Eagles have the No. 8 red-zone defense, allowing a touchdown just 46.7 percent of the time. “That’d be a good start”.
