|
| |  | PHILADELPHIA: Head coach Chip Kelly may not have brought his Oregon playbook to the NFL, but what he's running is fairly close. The tempo and overall spread principles are what make this the league's best rushing attack, as well as LeSean McCoy's ability to exploit cutback lanes when defenses flow too fast to the perimeter. McCoy might have his workload lightened a little bit, but he's still going to get an enormous number of carries. Unlike during the Andy Reid years, the Eagles are run-heavy in the red zone under Kelly. McCoy takes most touches inside the 20, often taking advantage of exhausted defenses at the end of drives. All-purpose back Darren Sproles could end up being used as a runner a bit more often than he was in New Orleans, while Chris Polk is more of a traditional back-up.
The Eagles use a lot of crossing routes that become high-percentage due to the threat of the running game, plus quarterback Nick Foles holds onto the ball for a long, long time. They'll use a lot of two-tight end looks, most often targeting either Jeremy Maclin or tight end Zach Ertz over the middle. Foles has good chemistry with No. 2 receiver Riley Cooper, who often takes advantage of single coverage against smaller defensive backs with a lot of comeback routes. Rookie Jordan Matthews will play inside in three-receiver sets. They also love the screen game, with McCoy and Sproles.
Defensive coordinator Billy Davis was brought in before 2013 to improve the team's pathetic 13 takeaways, and he did just that with 31 forced turnovers, which tied for third in the NFL. FS Malcolm Jenkins was the only significant free-agent pickup, but first-round draft choice DE Marcus Smith should be able to contribute right away. | | NY GIANTS: Long-time offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is gone, but O-Line coach Pat Flaherty remains in place to improve an awful run game (83 YPG in 2013, 29th in NFL). The Giants lean toward a lot of gap blocking, and their upgraded personnel on the offensive line should create more opportunities this season. New top back Rashad Jennings fits what they do as a downhill, no-nonsense type of runner. He'll take the bulk of the work with David Wilson, if he's back from neck surgery (a big if), taking on a change-of-pace role. Andre Williams and Peyton Hillis seem to be insurance in case Wilson can't go this fall.
This will be Eli Manning's first year without Gilbride either calling plays or working with him as QB coach. New offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, a tight ends and quarterbacks coach in Green Bay, should bring more creativity and a West Coast look to the passing game. Expect more underneath, catch-and-run work for Victor Cruz and slot options Odell Beckham Jr. and Jerrel Jernigan, with Rueben Randle working as more of a traditional field stretcher. McAdoo would like to utilize a lot of two-tight end sets, but he'll do so only if he can find two that are good enough to stay on the field. The backs will do more pass protecting than most, but McAdoo will mix in the screen game to utilize Jennings' receiving ability. Assuming they mirror what the Packers typically did inside the 20 last year, expect a lot of throwing inside the red zone until they get inside the three.
The Giants lacked a pass rush in 2013, but then let team sack leader Justin Tuck walk. But they bolstered their secondary by adding tough CBs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Walter Thurmond, and also signed stud LB Jameel McClain. |

*Eagles-Giants Preview* =======================
By TOM CASTRO STATS Senior Editor
Beating the New York Giants was cause for major celebration for the Philadelphia Eagles the first time the teams met this season.
Doing so again in the finale won't create close to the same level of enjoyment.
Eliminated from playoff contention amidst a three-game losing streak, all that's left in a once-promising season for Philadelphia is the chance to knock off the rival Giants, winners of three in a row, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Eagles (9-6) opened 7-2 and were still in good position to make the playoffs three weeks ago, but this disastrous stretch will leave them out of the postseason for the third time in four years. Losses to Seattle, Dallas and last-place Washington has left Philadelphia looking to next season.
Last Saturday's 27-24 defeat to the Redskins, coupled with the Cowboys' rout of Indianapolis, was the final blow.
"It's very frustrating to us to control our destiny when we are 9-3 and to have this happen," said tight end Zach Ertz, who set a franchise record with 15 catches against Washington. "We're very disappointed. Ultimately, it falls on the players. We didn't execute the game, either of the three games. It's very disheartening."
Coach Chip Kelly said he'll give another start to Mark Sanchez rather than give backup Matt Barkley a shot.
"Our job is to go up and play the New York Giants and we're going to do everything we can to beat the New York Giants," Kelly said.
The chance to do so in the first matchup Oct. 12 created considerably more excitement for the Eagles, who improved to 5-1 with a 27-0 rout at raucous Lincoln Financial Field. Philadelphia looked like a Super Bowl contender then, but inconsistent quarterback play eventually came back to haunt it.
Sanchez has 14 turnovers in eight games, including a late interception that led to Washington's game-winning field goal last week, since replacing Nick Foles after he broke his collarbone. Foles had 13 turnovers.
"You have to win games," Sanchez said. "The head coach and the quarterback, we are the only ones who keep a record, so it goes with the territory of this position. There have been three really tough games and (last week's) came down to the wire and we came up a little short."
Penalties also played a big role in the Eagles' collapse. They committed 13 for 102 yards against the Redskins and were flagged eight times for 95 in a 38-27 home loss to Dallas the previous week.
While Philadelphia might be disheartened, New York (6-9) is clearly motivated with a win streak that may have saved coach Tom Coughlin's job and gives it hope for next season. The Giants have ridden star rookie Odell Beckham Jr. the last three weeks, as he's averaged more than 140 yards receiving and caught six touchdowns, giving him 11 in 11 games on the season.
Beckham had 148 yards and two scores on eight catches, including an 80-yard TD, in a 37-27 victory at St. Louis last week. He also refused to be intimidated by a Rams team bent on getting under his skin with chippy play, sparking a wild brawl between the teams by going back at Alec Ogletree after the linebacker flung him to the turf well out of bounds.
"You play snap to whistle and after that you leave it alone," said Beckham, who may have provoked the Rams with some of his on-field celebrations. "For the intensity and passion (my teammates) brought to the game, I can't fault them."
Beckham has 79 receptions, most in NFL history for a player in his first 11 games. He's had at least 90 yards receiving in eight consecutive contests and could tie the NFL record of nine straight by the Cowboys' Michael Irvin in 1995.
Beckham was still finding his footing when he faced Philadelphia, getting held to two catches for 28 yards in his second NFL game. The Eagles rushed for 203 yards - 149 by LeSean McCoy - and outgained the Giants 448-254 overall while piling up eight sacks of Eli Manning and Ryan Nassib.
That defeat began a season-killing seven-game skid for New York, loser of nine of the past 12 meetings with Philadelphia and five of six at home.
The Giants, out of the playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons, are determined to close with a better performance against their hated rivals. They can match last season's record with a win Sunday.
"Sure, we have something to prove," right tackle Justin Pugh said. "We didn't score at all the first time."
Manning - one win away from 100 for his career - played his best game of the season last week, going 25 of 35 for 391 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. His 148.8 rating was the highest of his career for a full game.
Sanchez will be making his return to MetLife Stadium, where he spent the first five years of his career with the Jets before being released prior to this season.
