Westbrook's officially out, says NFL.com

"The punt to DeSean Jackson. The punt. Short, Jackson takes it at the 32. Looks for running room, reverses the field. He's at the 40. 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, He's gonna go!

"McNabb in the shotgun again. McNabb takes the snap, fakes, he's back, he's looking, he is going deep for DeSean Jackson, who races, has it! TOUCHDOWN!!! DeSean Jackson!!

I like how Justice has kept an even keel throughout this time

He was supposed to be a much better player but he’s stuck in there and he hasn’t let that Giants game beat him down. Says the right things in the media too which is nice. I have respect for that.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Justice will be fine

Giants D-Line has underachieved all year. The Giants could not take advantage of a 2nd string tackle against the Saints, I don’t expect them to today. Though Tuck will be tougher than Osi for Winston.

Manninham is out for the Giants which is good news for the Eagles. Even though he’s been very inconsistant and drops his share of balls he’s also the type that can spring a big one against man coverage and can break out at any moment. . . a la the Dallas game. He’s quicker, more agile, and could allude defenders a lot better than Hixon. Look for lots of Hixon deep today which means drops and overthrows. Even if McNabb stinks today the Giants O will give them good field position most of the day. I expect this game to be like the last two, nothing exciting on either side but a few big plays from guys like D. Jackson and Vick, yes Vick, I’m sure the Eagles have a few plays designed for him this week and this will be the only game this year where he is a factor. Giants never stop gimmick type stuff.
