I would like to welcome all of you who are reading this into the first ever scouting report done by four of the top writers in the New York Giants community.
The purpose of this article is to give fans like us an insight as to who they might want to look out for this Sunday night when the G-Men take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
If you have any interest as to how to become a contributor then look no further! All you have to do is write a piece of your own. Maybe you have different views than one of us, or maybe you would like to highlight a key player we may have missed.
Keep in mind we could have very easily chosen one format that we could have all followed, but I feel that by letting us all pick our own style, it gives the reader's a great opportunity to see how the top community members make their magic work.
For now however, let's take a closer look as to who Big Blue may have a little trouble with on Sunday.
The Reports
Scouting Report No.5DM: Donovan McNabb, Quarterback Extraordinaire
Author: Travis Rand
Let's not beat around the bush here... McNabb, when he is on point, is just plain scary. We know the Eagles will show up on Sunday just like the Giants will, but they have just a little bit more to play for. If Philly loses, they lose significant ground on the rest of the NFC East, which would be terrible especially when two of the teams are on bye.
Now down to the facts. Number five's stats should say enough about how he has performed thus far. He has ranked up 10 touchdowns and only four interceptions, and that was with number one and two targets, Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis out for the first half of the season. Both will suit up on Sunday night.
A key advantage in this match-up is having the opportunity to play on home turf, something Philly will enjoy. McNabb has won three out of the four games they have played there this year and surprisingly, he hasn't had to play well to pick up the W.
In his four home games, number five has four touchdowns through the air, and one on the ground. Surprisingly however, in two of those games, McNabb has not scored at all, and the Eagles are 1-1 in those contests.
So what is the "Key Matchup"? It's all in the pass rush. Tuck and Kiwi need to force McNabb to hurry his throws and force him into bad situations, which is something they are both extremely capable of.
They way to contain McNabb is for the Giants to do exactly what they have been doing all year...Forcing him to throw by stuffing the run. I think we bring the pressure all day and the outcome will be the same as the last three regular season contests, a big Giants win.
Scouting Report No.36BW: Brian Westbrook, Mr. Everything
Author: David Geller
During a segment on ESPN discussing fear, Lawrence Taylor cracked a smile and said, “I loved it when quarterbacks used to look around, trying to find out where the hell I was."
The same goes for defensive coordinators and Brian Westbrook.
The “Where’s Waldo?” reference Ron Jaworski used in chronicling how teams defend Brian Westbrook is a perfect fit. Arguably the best dual threat at running back in the game, Andy Reid positions him differently virtually every play and gives opposing defenses headaches.
The Giants are the ones faced with a killer headache this week. They can minimize the effects by a) bringing a lot of Advil, or b) stopping him. Here’s how they do the latter.
