An inside look at Sunday’s Giants-Eagles NFC divisional round matchup in Philadelphia:
Not long after Joe Schoen was hired as the Giants’ general manager, he knew the first order of business from a personnel perspective was to get the sickly salary-cap situation in order. Schoen did not want to get rid of James Bradberry, the top cornerback on the roster, but he had no luck on the trade market and desperately needed the $10.1 million in cap space that was created by releasing Bradberry, who promptly signed a one-year deal with the Eagles worth up to $10 million.
How did that work out? Bradberry, this season, had the third-lowest passer rating allowed in the NFL with a minimum of 50 targets. He had the third-most pass breakups . The Giants? They struggled to find consistency with a group of cornerbacks let go by other teams, especially when Adoree’ Jackson missed seven games with a sprained knee.There really is no way around it. The Eagles can impose their will and take over a game with their defense. Some of the numbers they put up are wild.
“There’s a bounty on me every week,’’ he said and vowed to do his thing, scrambling and running — he gained 760 rushing yards this season. “Me being an edge rusher, you see just across the league, people scheme against the great players,’’ rookie linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux said. “So, of course, teams are going to scheme against him as being one of the best quarterbacks in the league. And I would say for us, we just got to do what we can to contain him.’’
