Eli Manning: The Definition of Elite

However, the Giants kicked off the year in Philadelphia with Kurt Warner under center, and they found themselves down 31-10 with 2:37 left in the game thanks to three touchdown catches by Terrell Owens in his Eagles debut. Anyone who watched QB Eli Manning and this offense during the 2014 preseason could see that Manning & Co. were basically relearning everything they had been taught up to that point from a system standpoint.

Manning said of having big games against the Eagles at night and kind of being used to dealing with the atmosphere that you get coming here at this point, “Well, you know what to expect”.

Unseen by Manning, Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle caught the quarterback scrambling to the right side, where he delivered the hit that pinballed him off fellow defenders Darwin Walker and Keith Adams. The Giants have had problems defending the tight end in their first five games.

“I remember the first play, handed off to Tiki Barber, he went about 75 yards for a touchdown”.

November 1, 2009: Eagles 40, Giants 17 – Just hours before the Yankees beat the Phillies in Game 4 of the World Series across the street, the Giants weren’t as lucky as Manning threw a pair of costly interceptions.

Records are not identical – The common denominators between the Ravens and 49ers: Both teams have been ravaged by attrition since they played in the Super Bowl 32 months ago and both head into Sunday’s game with 1-4 records.

Whenever the New York Giants play the Philadelphia Eagles, it’s always a good game, which makes this week’s Monday Night Football something worth watching.

The Giants don’t have that type of strength on the ground to take pressure off the passing game, so while the fantasy point totals may be close, Ryan is the safer play. So we’re looking forward to that. They have turned the ball over on just 5.6 percent of their drives, which also ranks third. He’s fixated on getting better, and landing a big contract, just like the one Ben Roethlisberger got if not more. If the Eagles fix their third-down woes, they could pull a surprise, but slowing down the Giants won’t be easy. DE Robert Ayers Jr.

Manning is off to a hot start with 10 TDs, 2 INTs and is completing a career-high 66.5%. I think guys experienced it so it’s good just knowing that’s it’s going to be loud and our communication has to be great. “Hosley did a great job for DRC against the Falcons and the Redskins”. Guys are playing fast and making plays and so we have to keep doing that. Amukamara added that Hosley is a more confident player now. He said the players might have changed, but the scheme has not. “So just his confidence level and how he carries himself on the field”. The players made a circle with their fingers. “The coaches are very much confident in him and I think that helps him out a lot”. If last week was the week that saved the Eagles season, this week might be the one that shows us how good they really are… or aren’t.

However, this is a new year with a new offensive line.

The guards and the center are not the question for the G-Men. Manning broke down the three linemen. “But when you have that many attempts on you, the numbers are never going to be good”.
