I suspect we may regain our form against the Giants. If we stop the run as in past, score quickly with Cousins & team, and force Eli to pass --- the Dline may be able to have a field day with their shaky O-line. I'm looking for Kerrigan & Hatch to come back with a vengence..
What. You mean respecting the teams two most dynamic players abilities might slow down a pass rush a split second? I scoff at you sir I scoff at you.

Re: Our Secondary

Going in to the Eagles game, everyone was keyed on not letting the McCoy/Sproles tandem kill us. And we did. They had something like 22 yards rushing, and it was the WRs (Maclin especially) who killed us. We had a fair bit of pressure on Foles, but he got the ball out fast, which is the mark of a quality QB. I hate to say it, but I came away from the game convinced that Foles is not a one year wonder - he got hit a lot (and a few times pretty hard), and he kept getting up and throwing. He was impressive.

I think the point here is the quick release made generating sacks and more "hits" (however gauged) harder to come by, and our secondary did not do a good job of defending passes. With Hall out, we will have to see whether the new guys (Breeland, Minnifield, Porter) step up or get stepped on. And we will know in 48 hours.

Re: Our Secondary

Going back to last year I think Kelly and the Eagles are well established as an offensive powerhouse.

Re: Our Secondary

What was so disappointing about giving up 30 points was we contained both McCoy and Sproles. Riley got exposed, Macklin and the rookie just abused us. Not sure putting Merriweather in there was a good idea as he'd been out for a few weeks, but there was no other option. Thomas and Rambo have turned out to be bad draft picks as neither have contributed anything at all.

Thomas may still turn out to be alright.

Re: Our Secondary

So did Champ completely burned a bridge when he left the Redskins?

If not, I wouldn't mind seeing him at FS.

I'm somewhat surprised that their haven't been any vets brought in to workout. I'd give Champ a shot, hell, at this point I'd give anyone a shot.
