Quick Thoughts Eagles/Giants game

By: Steve Johnson

Here are some quick thoughts on the Eagles 19-17 win over the Giants last night. I don't care how they got it done, but they got it done...again.
  • The Eagles have swagger, they find a way to win games, ugly or not, they're 3-1 and in first place
  • Mike Vick didn't play bad...I guess that's something to be happy about. He Threw for 241 yards and 1 TD, didn't turn the ball over and was only sacked twice, he managed the game
  • Fletcher Cox is a beast. He is constantly double teamed, leaving 1v1 for the rest of the D Linemen...who have been relatively quiet so far this season
  • Jamar Chaney started at the WILL for the injured Akeem Jordan and looked better
  • Akeem Jordan was missed on Special Teams though, as was Colt Anderson. The Eagles Special Teams played terrible...and heard it from the crowd
  • Shady McCoy had the type of game you expect from him in a NFC East rivalry game, carrying the ball 23 times for 123 yards and catching 3 balls for 17 yards. He has to do a better job on that 1st and goal, Eagles need to score there.
  • Where is this great defensive line we've heard about? No sacks on Eli last night, and they've been relatively quiet so far.
  • The backup defensive backs played well with Nnamdi out for half the game. Hughes and Boykin both played well in certain spots of the game, Boykin was picked on quite a bit at other points
  • Good to see Demeco Ryans making adjustments for the defense, he audibles the defense on a 3rd down in the 4th quarter which led to an Eli incompletion
  • DeSean Jackson had a quiet 99 yards and a TD
  • How bout Andy using his fullback. Stanley Havili rushed the bal twice and was targeted twice in the air, also made a huge block on the 34 yard run by McCoy.
