3: CBs Darius Slay and James Bradberry

There are no doubts that these two have been one of the best secondary duos in the NFL this season. With the Giants lack of reliable receivers, this could make things very difficult for the offense. The Giants can help steer clear of Darius Slay and James Bradberry though if Mike Kafka is smart enough to do so. Obviously your offense can only go so far without throwing to your receivers, but we have seen the Giants win many games without a receiver-heavy offense.

With players like Daniel Bellinger and Saquon Barkley as available options in the receiving game, the Giants should put an emphasis on attacking the Eagles relatively weak linebacker core. T.J Edwards has emerged as one of the better coverage linebackers in the league this season, however, for the rest of Philadelphia’s ‘backers, the Giants should have no problem attacking them with Bellinger and Barkley.

Even if the Giants don’t center their gameplan around attacking the rest of the Eagles defense, we’re sure the offense can rely on Darius Slayton or Isaiah Hodgins for a big play or two when the team needs them.

These two receivers have been far from perfect, but considering the expectations surrounding the two, they’ve done quite well and have made some very nice plays. Hopefully they can make something happen against this elite Eagles secondary.
