The Giants aren’t “good” in any sense of the phrase however they’re undoubtedly an annoying workforce to play, as they had been final 12 months. Listed here are the methods the Eagles rookies can contribute to a win.
The looming Quinyon Mitchell showdown with Malik Nabers
It’s very doubtless we get a direct match up between two first spherical rookies on this recreation. Malik Nabers is trending in direction of taking part in the Eagles. That’s excellent news for the Giants contemplating how instantly kick-ass Nabers has been for New York. Even when he’s nonetheless nursing an damage, he’s their most suitable choice within the passing recreation. Quinyon Mitchell has gone toe to toe with some actually wonderful receivers, however Nabers is perhaps one of the best one but. If Mitchell can lock him down, the Eagles win. Easy as that.
Additionally, calling my shot … that is the week Mitchell snags interception primary … until somebody runs into him once more.
Extra enjoyable with Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean had a wonderful debut beginning because the Eagles nickel cornerback. He appeared actually strong within the run, was nice as a blitzer, and wasn’t focused within the passing recreation. It is perhaps laborious for him to enhance on that debut, however the Eagles simply want him to maintain being strong as a way to restrict the Giants offense.
