To play or to not play? That is the question.
The result of Sunday’s game means absolutely nothing on paper for the Giants. They are locked into the 6th seed in the NFC and are set to play whoever ends up being the No. 3 seed. Winning against the Eagles in Philadelphia could knock them out of winning the NFC East and demote them to the first wild-card spot. It could help their confidence heading into the playoffs. But at what risk? Do you risk one of your key players getting hurt and missing a playoff game?
On a new episode of the “Blue Rush” podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz and Brandon London, the guys break down how the Giants should approach their regular season finale against the Eagles Sunday.
Blue Rush Podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz & Brandon London:
- DAMAR HAMLIN: Lawrence and Brandon give their player perspectives on seeing the sad situation with Hamlin and never seeing anything like it on the field. Paul explains what the Giants did at the facility Wednesday as they pray for Hamlin.
- WHO STARTS/WHO SITS SUNDAY: Tynes says the Giants should play the starters and don’t take your foot off the gas. Paul doesn’t have a problem starting guys, but then you start taking guys out during the game to be ready for the playoffs next week.
- GIANTS @ EAGLES MATCHUP: Defense has to play better than they did last time against the Eagles. They will probably be down a few defensive lineman as they could give a few guys banged up a week to get ready for the playoffs. Adoree Jackson may come back and get some snaps. We will see some Gary Brightwell and Matt Breida in this game.
- KNOW YOUR ENEMY: NBC Sports Philadelphia Eagles analyst Barrett Brooks joins the show to break down the Eagles side of this matchup, Jalen Hurts’ potential return and the importance of this game for them.
- KAYVON THIBODEAUX REACTION: Was he in the wrong for doing the snow angel celebration next to an injured Nick Foles?
- PREDICTIONS: Lawrence is taking the Eagles 28-25. Paul is taking the Eagles 27-16. Brandon is also taking the Eagles 28-10.
