Eagles Vs Giants Top Five Defensive Plays

by JasonB on Nov 21, 2011 3:26 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

We'll be a doing a new weekly feature here on BGN highlighting the top five defensive plays from the previous days game. Luckily, it's a a good week to start such a feature. In previous weeks, it might have been pretty tough to find five.

1. Jason Babin's strip sack - This was essentially the game winning play. After the Eagles 18 play go ahead scoring drive, Eli Manning drove the Giants straight down the field with plenty of time left. At the 21 yard line, with NY threatening to score, Jason Babin hit Eli from his blindside causing a fumble that was picked up by Derek Landri. That basically ended the game.

2. Jamar Chaney's pick - Manning never saw Chaney in the middle of the field and basically threw the ball straight to him, but you have to give Jamar kudos for making the pick. How often do we see LBs drop those passes? All the time.

The final three are after the jump.

3. Cullen Jenkins ended DJ Ware's night with this hit.

4. I don't care if this was kind of late. It was awesome.

5. This is arguably my favorite gif of the season. From @dhm. (click on it)

Has to cry to the media about it afterwards.

Last time I checked, this was football, not MMA.

“Sheli” has the longest consecutive streak of starts in the NFL for a QB. Also, when he gets cheapshotted, he doesn’t whine like a bitch.

Vick has only made it through an entire season once in his “illustrious” career. When he gets hit, he cries to the media.

Everything I said is true, and you know it.

Wait, you’re defending Eli’s toughness after that game? What you saw is a classic example of why Eli isn’t a top QB. When he doesn’t have a running game and doesn’t get good protection, his mechanics break down, he gets skittish in the pocket, his footwork gets erratic and he can’t lead his team to wins. When you’re scared of getting hit the way Eli is, you’re not tough. Congratulations, Eli doesn’t get injured. That doesn’t mean he is tough.

I’ll take a guy who takes his licks on the field and then complains off the field over a guy who avoids hits on the field and keeps quiet off of it.

Eli has been the best passer under pressure in the league.

Our OL blows and so far, Eli has led us to more wins than losses. The opposite of Vick, who has thrown more INTs under pressure than Eli has. Mind you, this is Vick WITH a running game, and a good, if inconsistent OL.

So I’m really not sure what you mean right there…

lol dude Eli doesn't need to say anything you can tell by the face he has on when he takes a hit

You can tell by the look in a mans eyes if hes a bitch or not. And Eli is a bitch Vick complained about hits he takes to get the refs to pull out the flags. Vick has played through broken ribs broken fingers and the injury he suffered with the redskins last year and your gonna question the mans toughness? Lmao gtfoh with that. Eli takes a sack just a regular sack and hes skittish and makes stupid mistakes.

Eli played with a separated shoulder that was supposed to knock him out for a month.

He also played with plantar fasciitis on his plant foot.

Tony Romo was able to play with broken ribs. Just cause Vick can run away from sacks doesn’t make him tougher.

And that whole “look in a mans eyes if he’s a bitch or not” proves my point….which is, I won this debate :)

i was watching the game with a bunch of giants fans and they were all SCREAMING that it was a dirty hit, there should be a penalty, he should be fined/kicked out of the game/etc.

i actually had to explain that a runner has the ball and is fair game for (almost) any type of hit.
even if this was a helmet-to-helmet hits (which i dont think this was, but they sure did), i still think it would have been perfectly legal.

its just an unfortunate side effect of a big man chasing down a play that went behind him. pure hustle play. i love to see the big guys deliver the hits, but its definitely not cool to see a guy get hurt (yea, even if its on the other team. well, maybe not the cowboys……)

by RogerPodacter on Nov 21, 2011 4:09 PM EST up reply actions

The Announcer (Cris Collinsworth)

Said same thing after the play, he was already an established runner even if the hit was helmet to helmet (looks like he led with shoulder to shoulder though) it would have been perfectly clean and legal hit. Let them bitch. That was a great hustle by Jenkins to get back and make that play.

If the Rolle hit wasn’t a personal foul, it should have been an illegal block to the back.

Certainly not a personal foul, that happened after the interception so everyone is fair game. Block in the back…..mehhhh maybe ;)

i thought they added rules against blindside hits? if either of those guys hit manning, it was sure to be a blindside hit.
yea, its his fault for not paying attention, but that still going to get called, and maybe fined.

Because QB is that one player there usually protected by a tons of rules, but after an interception he is free game like the rest :)

Depends on whether Eli was a part of the play or not. He obviously wasn't...but it wouldn't have been a penalty if

he was around the general area. If he wasn’t in the general area, it should be unnecessary roughness.

That’s the thing, it looked like Eli wasn’t sure what to do. He wasn’t exactly trying to make the tackle, but he certainly wasn’t getting out of the way. He was just kind of lazily drifting to the play. I think he’s fair game.

I don't remember where he was in relation to the play.

It was a cheap shot, but if he was close to it, a legal one.

I don’t know, the play was happening near the sideline and he was heading to the sideline. hard to tell exactly how far away he was. It was absolutely a cheap shot, but I think it was legal.

in any case...y'all just out-physicalled us.

That’s what pains me the most. Not that you beat us in the actual game (though it hurts), but you made our entire team look soft. When that hit happened, I stopped caring if we got players ejected, I wanted them to horsecollar and punch the shit out of both of those players.

No. NBC showed the replay. Manning was hit after Chaney had stepped out of bounds. It was a personal foul. Even if Chaney was still in play that was a block in the back.

Face it, Laws and Rolle were not worried about Manning making a tackle. They just wanted to get a shot in :)

by The Pied Piper on Nov 21, 2011 4:57 PM EST up reply actions

BTW, I don’t care about the hit. They have gotten away with a lot more against Vick.

by The Pied Piper on Nov 21, 2011 4:58 PM EST up reply actions

None of the Vick hits have been late enough to warrant a penalty.

and on the Vick hit in the first game, he was trying to make a tackle after he got intercepted. Eli was not. Dunno if the hit was a penalty or not, but I’m just pissed that nobody from the bench came out and punched Chaney in the face.

Shut the fuck up.

Unless you are prepared to show video of every hit Vick has taken this year with analysis to show that none deserved a penalty, then shut your stoopid North Jersey mouf.

Better yet go sneak onto the bench and when eli manning gets pushed, run out onto the field and punch a player in the face and see what it gets you.

Why would they punch Chaney in the face? He didn’t hit Manning.

The guys you’re suggesting get punched in the face are Brian Rolle and Trevor Laws. And your team had plenty of chances to get their shots in on both of them but Laws and Rolle still showed your team up. Like salt in the wound almost. Like that dude who really pisses you off but you can’t do shit about it.

And I think it’s funny that Brandon Jacobs did try and start a fight only to get knocked on his ass by Trevor Laws and Kurt Coleman. Fuck BJ.

Babins

play was critical. What I liked the most about it though was that you could see that Babin halted his pass rash and saw that Eli was sliding out of the pocket by him and reversed his course. Obviously Eli though he was free and clear. Great awareness on Babins part.

And then they go out last night and just bully what is (or at least what I thought is) a mentally tough team. And “bully” isn’t even an exaggeration. The Eagles bullied the Giants last night.

Uhh late hit?

This was not a late hit or a hit on a defenseless player. After an interception (which this was) everyone is fair game. Granted it MAY have been a block in the back but there was no late hit.

This may be too little too late by our Eagles but with the Giants going through the hardest part of their schedule and the Cowboys prone to mental lapses all we have to do is keep winning. If we do that the end of the season games will be very very exciting!
