This week’s Sunday night football game takes us to Philadelphia with a match-up between the Giants and Eagles. All this week the trash talk between both sides have stole the headlines. It started from Eagles RB LeSean McCoy calling out DE Osi Umenyiora.
McCoy told ESPN, “Osi, to be honest, he is a good player. I think he thinks that he is better than what he really is. I think he is a ballerina in a Giants uniform. Other than that, that is all I got to say about Osi.”
This feud between the two started back in 2011 on twitter when Osi was in a contract dispute with the Giants. McCoy tweeted that the 10th-year player is “Overrated n soft 3rd best d-line on his team honestly.”

The Philadelphia Eagles have Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and the list of offensive players goes on, but the real strength of this Eagles team is in the defense. In 2011, the Eagles defense came out to a slow start, but finished 2nd in total defense, tied for 1st in sacks and tied for 1st in interceptions. That was with a slow start where they were about to fire defensive...

After weeks begging and...
