At 1pm eastern the Giants will face the Eagles in a battle for first place. Four hours later the Phillies will take on the Yankees in game 4 of the world series. This has to go down as one of the biggest days in Philadelphia sports history. Philly fans have long been known as some of the [...]

Original post 2:46pm Giants fans and analysts alike (including myself) have been clamoring for more Hakeem Nicks. Well this week we may just get our wishes. Tom Coughlin revealed that WR Mario Manningham is suffering through a shoulder injury and is  questionable for Sunday. Manningham did not practice today, which is not a good sign. [...]

Some quick notes from the Eagles camp….. The skinny………… The opening line was Eagles -3, but bettors have jumped on New York the past few days, betting the line down to pick-em.  The possible absence of Philly RB Brian Westbrook (concussion), a notorious Giant-killer, has increased the Giants’ chances this Sunday.  After the hearings on [...]

I missed this in Monday’s press conference but just saw it today. Go to the 5 minute mark and you will hear this exchange: Q. When you let the play clock wind down to one second doesn’t that give the defensive linemen a jump on the ball? A – Coughlin. How do they know there [...]

1. Pressure McNabb Yep, for probably the fortieth time in a row, the #1 key is blitzing the QB. As Mr. Jacks kindly pointed out, Donovan McNabb has been one of the worst QBs this season when being blitzed, with a minuscule 39.6 passer rating. With the Giants hurting in the secondary, it is more [...]

Original post 2pm Just for Halloween, surprise surprise,  DT Chris Canty was in pads practicing at defensive tackle with the second unit. Another surprise was LB Michael Boley, who was also in pads for the media portion of practice. To what extent they practiced and how ready they will be for Sunday is not yet [...]

Even if the Eagles were 0-6, the Giants and their fans would enter Sunday’s game with much trepidation. The Eagles are not 0-6, but rather 4-2 and just a half-game behind the 5-2 Giants in the NFC East. In this series, however, records do not have much of a bearing. On the surface, both teams [...]

The NFL has named Giants WR Hakeem Nicks the Offensive Rookie of the Month for October. Nicks caught 14 passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns (one in each game). So far, it’s been a New York sweep, as September’s Offensive Rookie of the Month was Jets QB Mark Sanchez

WR Steve Smith walked the line between fact and trash talk today. While he certainly wasn’t  trying to rile anyone up, he did give the Eagles secondary a bit of extra motivation (as if they need it in this rivalry). This is what he had to say about the unit. “I think sometimes they get [...]

Matt Mosley, who runs the ESPN NFC East blog, takes a look at how the East’s Quarterbacks rank against the blitz. Heres how they stack up. Tony Romo 10th in the league with a 98.9 passer rating. Eli Manning 19th in the league with a 85.1 passer rating. Jason Campbell 23rd in the league with a [...]
