Eagles - Giants Game Thread

Keys To Winning Today:

1. The Eagles must contain Tiki Barber. I know its a tough task, especially for the Eagles when it comes to Tiki because he kills the Birds. And the Birds run defense on the road has been terrible (168 ypg) compared to their home split (39.5ypg). If they can somehow slow Tiki down then that'll help the pass defense.

2. Mike McMahon has to be smart. None of the trying to force the ball when nothing is there. I do not care if he replicates a Mike Vick game plan today and runs it a ton as long as he keeps the chains moving.

3. If McMahon can break off a few big scrambles early that'll help open up Westbrook in the flats because most likely Antonio Pierce will be looking at McMahon long enough to give Westbrook a crack of daylight.

4. If Westbrook draws Nick Griesen or Carlos Emmons in coverage...big time advantage Westbrook.

5. Trent Cole and Jevon Kearse have to get pressure. Eli must be rattled. The Vikings got heat on Eli with their front 4 and that allowed them to play a lot of cover-2 which helped them force Manning into 4 INT's.

6. The Eagles running game has to get off to a good start. Jamaal Jackson was flat out moving people off the ball on Monday and the Giants are without William Joseph today. He must continue to do that. Keep that Westbrook/Gordon mix going.

And Lito cannot be stupid with Burress. If he toys with him and trys to do his stupid baiting, he's toast.

PhillyPhreak54 · November 20, 2005, 11:57:11 AM

Agreed. No baiting, Lito.

Gotta keep Plax in front of him and use his ups and ball skills to play him smart. No dumbass penalties either.

I hope the Jints are willing to line up Plax a lot on the left of the offense because that is Sheldon's side. I feel better if Brown is on Plax.

I'd double him and let Dawk play Shockey. If Mike Lewis is on Shockey, then its advantage Jints unless his coverage got significantly better in 6 days.

You just have this feeling that Shockey and Dawk are gonna be in the end zone and have another one of those jump balls. Who wins the jump ball this year?

Anyone know who the inactives are today? I'm at work and can't listen to my Field Pass.

4and26 · November 20, 2005, 12:19:46 PM

Why is my boy Ryan Moats inactive again. Thought forsure he'd be out there today!

rjs246 · November 20, 2005, 12:39:55 PM

farging Moats.

BigEd76 · November 20, 2005, 12:42:33 PM

McCoy and Moats were great picks.

EJ72 · November 20, 2005, 12:45:13 PM

Good luck, no injuries today!

4and26 · November 20, 2005, 01:03:54 PM

Lets get going!

Great call on the time out. Nothing like burning one of your breaks within the first minute of play.

So... how long before McMahon is injured and it's Koy time?

QB Eagles · November 20, 2005, 01:10:51 PM

Question 2: how many hundreds of total yards will Barber have today?
