Eagles at Giants - The Defensive Tackles - HT

Barry Cofield is the Nose Tackle for the Giants. He was the Giants' forth round pick in 2006 out of Northwestern which means I probably saw him help the Mildcats upset the Badgers a few years back at Ryan Field. He's got 31 starts and some honors.

The other DT is Fred Robbins who was drafted by the Vikings with the 55th pick in 2000. Packer fans should know him well. He came to the Giants as a unrestricted free agent in 2004.

The Eagles DTs are both first round picks and are reviewed a few posts back. Let's watch them

The Giants defense has totally choked off Brian Westbrook in the first half. The Eagles ability to punch in Samuels' interception for a TD neutralized the Giants' defensive dominance. One would think without Plexico, the Giants would have trouble throwing the ball, but they don't really need to. Jacobs / Ward have 65 yards between them, but the Eagles lead 10-8. The Giants team ERA is really taking a beating, lol.
