Making Manning Uncomfortable, A Key To Victory For Eagles

But on Wednesday, after being named NFC defensive player of the week, Cox allowed himself to appreciate the recognition.

September 30, 2012: Eagles 19, Giants 17 – Throwing for 309 yards, Manning drove the Giants downfield in the fourth quarter, throwing a TD pass that put them up 17-16, and had them in position to win after the Eagles got a go-ahead field goal.

The victory on Sunday night the 102nd of Manning’s career, which broke a franchise record in which he was previously tied with Simms.

The New York Giants are in sole possession of first place in the NFC East and things are, legitimately, looking up.

Each week NJ Advance Media will sit down with a member of the Eagles and preview one of the key matchups in the upcoming game in a weekly series called ‘Eagles 4 Downs’. He also has done it five moretimes in the postseason, including twice in Super Bowls.

The Giants have one of the most efficient scoring offenses in the National Football League, at least when measured by offensive drives that end in a scoring play. We’re not turning the ball over much. I’ve got the confident we could do it but sometimes you need that reinforcement, you need to do it, you need to have that success and get that attitude, get that feeling. It was a big win today.

The Eagles offense, which racked up 519 yards last week, needs to find a few consistency in the run game – an attack that finally started to live up to preseason expectations last week.

This is his best start to a season, and Manning said of what is working best for him, “I think the entire offense, all of the players have a better understanding and a better feel for this offense than we did previous year”.

“Coming here I didn’t really know how much to expect”. “I couldn’t have picked a better organization”. He was able to make a few plays down the stretch the other day to win it, which was very exciting, obviously playing at home, for our fans.

The Cowboys have not been able to overcome the losses of Romo and Bryant offensively as they just do not have the firepower to keep up. He is on pace to throw six interceptions this season, well below his career low of 10. What makes you think this year will be different? An quick start could help the Giants, because they have worst scoring defense in the league during the final quarter.

The New York Giants may be without their top offensive threat this weekend after Odell Beckham Jr. tweaked his hamstring last week. This year? a few say the Giants are the most well-rounded team. “He’s really good at being a receiver out of the backfield”. We’ve had a couple.

ESPN, if for nothing more than the fact that they are broadcasting the game, put out a pretty awesome, Sopranos’ themed ad for the game. All of them were running plays. “He showed what he could do, so, hey, I’m going to be on him from here on out to give me three sacks or two sacks every game”. “I’m learning him, we are learning him, and we are using him in the best way, and I think every week, you’ll see him climb and climb and be better and better”.

The Giants are in the midst of preparing for their big Monday night matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Though the Eagles are just 2-3 through the first five games, but the Giants are leading the division at 3-2. It’s going to be loud, they’re going to be fired up and yeah primetime on Monday night and it should be a great atmosphere. The Eagles have won three of the four meetings the last two years since Chip Kelly became the head coach. He’s got good ball skills. We have to be good with our snap count, everybody on the same page, and getting in and out the huddle quickly, just because it will be loud.
