PHILADELPHIA — On paper, an area of strength against a significant weakness., it is a mismatch

No, not the formidable Eagles defensive line against the porous Giants offensive front — Philadelphia’s battered secondary against Big Blue array of talented wide receivers.

Which is why the battle up front may well decide Sunday’s winner.

“I know for us to have success whoever they put on the offensive line and whatever they do as far as protections, whether it’s adding guys,” safety Malcolm Jenkins said Thursday. “That’s going to basically dictate what we’re able to do.”,Authentic Keenan Allen Jersey, tight ends and backs chipping,Authentic Jahleel Addae Jersey, we got to have some disruptions up front

Jenkins is one of two members of the starting secondary healthy,Authentic Russell Okung Jersey, along with cornerback Jalen Mills. Top corner Ronald Darby will miss several weeks with a dislocated ankle,Authentic Tre Boston Jersey, and are all major question marks for Sunday., and starting safety Rodney McLeod,Authentic Spencer Pulley Jersey, cornerback Jaylen Watkins and backup safety Corey Graham missed practice for a second straight day Thursday

The defensive line, however, doesn’t have such issues, notching eight sacks. That just so happens to be the Giants’ weakness. The Big Blue offensive line has allowed eight sacks, and it has been among the sport’s best so far, and quarterback Eli Manning has come under fire as a result in their 0-2 start.

“We definitely got to get some pressure on him,” Jenkins said., because it’s shown to affect him

When it was suggested to Jenkins that Manning has begun to see ghosts — pressure when it isn’t there, “You usually see ghosts after you get hit by one.”,Womens Antonio Gates Jersey, the veteran said

The Eagles didn’t have much luck getting to Manning last year,Womens Keenan Allen Jersey, sacking him just once in two games,Womens Jahleel Addae Jersey, all of whom have added significant depth and ability to the stellar group.,Womens Russell Okung Jersey, which the rivals split. But this group is different. It now includes veterans Tim Jernigan and Chris Long,Womens Tre Boston Jersey, along with first-round pick Derek Barnett

“Every down, every play,” Jernigan said. “The rush is a huge part of our defense.”, we’re just trying to dominate

The Eagles defensive linemen have said all the right things this week. They have praised the Giants’ struggling offensive line and described embattled left tackle Ereck Flowers as a physical force. They have tried to make their opponent Sunday afternoon sound like a premier unit.

“I don’t know if it’s an advantage [we have],” Jenkins said. “That’s an area we’re going to have to win. We’re putting a lot on our D-line obviously.”, but it’s definitely one of those things we’ve circled and highlighted for us to have success
