The Philadelphia Eagles are again at Lincoln Monetary Discipline to host the New York Giants on Christmas Day. As a way to preview their Week 16 matchup, I reached out to our enemies over at at Big Blue View. The educated Ed Valentine took the time to reply my questions on this upcoming battle. Let’s check out the solutions. [For my answers to Ed’s questions about the Eagles, check out BBV.]
1 – The Giants had a three-game win streak going earlier than decisively shedding to the Saints. What went mistaken and do you assume these struggles will persist?
That three-game successful streak was going to finish. Let’s be sincere, it was a straw home. The Giants all the time beat Washington, which isn’t a superb workforce with a head coach who’s going to be fired. New England is horrible and the Giants solely managed to win that recreation by a beautiful 10-7 rating due to how unhealthy the Patriots are. The Inexperienced Bay win was good, Tommy DeVito was an awesome story main a last-second game-winning drive.
The Giants, although, aren’t a superb offensive soccer workforce. DeVito, as a lot as followers love him, was undrafted for a motive. The offensive line isn’t good. If the Giants’ protection doesn’t create turnovers — and it created 12 throughout that successful streak — the Giants don’t have an opportunity.
2 – Tommy DeVito. What are his strengths and weaknesses?
DeVito has swagger. He has persona. He has confidence. He believes he might be an NFL quarterback, and he’s made gamers and followers consider in him. He’s not afraid. He can throw the ball precisely, and he can run somewhat bit. He has managed video games effectively not too long ago and never turned the ball over. On the flip aspect, his inexperience reveals. He holds the ball too lengthy at instances, taking sacks and bringing strain upon himself. Life is nice till his first learn is roofed, or he sees a protection he doesn’t fairly perceive. As correct as he might be, I query his precise arm power.
3 – What’s one matchup that you simply assume favors the Giants on this recreation?
Perhaps it’s an affordable shot, however there’s no likelihood James Bradberry can run with Darius Slayton or Jalin Hyatt. Bradberry will get matched up with both of these gamers, the ball HAS to go there.
4 – What’s one matchup that you simply assume favors the Eagles on this recreation?
The one which SHOULD favor the Eagles is their entrance seven towards the Giants’ offensive line. However, I’ve been confused as to why Philly’s entrance seven hasn’t been as dominant because the names on the jerseys lead you to consider it ought to be.
The Eagles win this recreation. That unfold is an enormous quantity and I wouldn’t be comfy giving it if I needed to place cash on the Eagles. I’ll take the Eagles by one thing like 24-14.
