Giants coach Tom Couglin isn't one for one-liners, but he did have some shtick when asked about trying on Sunday night to control Michael Vick and the Eagles, who ripped the Redskins for 592 yards and 59 points three nights ago.
Coughlin said watching Vick, who leads the NFL in passing and in yards per carry, shred Washington's defense for 413 yards and six touchdowns, gave him "indigestion, a stomach ache," and then joked, "We're trying to get the 12th man out there. We've been working real hard on that and I think that the officials will give us one of those based on last week maybe."
But Coughlin then turned serious and after discussing the two-way threat that Vick poses, also noted the excellence of Philadelphia's second-year running back LeSean McCoy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who's proving a very worthy successor to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who was cut last winter and is now an afterthought in San Francisco.
"McCoy looks very good -- he's fast, he's quick, and they've been using him ... very similar (to how they used [link widoczny dla zalogowanych])," Coughlin said. "He's made some big plays with the run game and ... if they catch you overloaded in one direction and he gets the screen the other direction, it's very dangerous."
McCoy, a second-round pick out of Pitt in 2009, gradually inherited the job from the twice-concussed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] last season, producing 945 yards of offense and four touchdowns. McCoy has already topped those numbers this year with 967 yards and six touchdowns.He's one of just three players to be leading his team in rushing and receiving (the others are Frank Gore of the 49ers and LaDainian Tomlinson of the New York Jets).
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who helped the Eagles reach two NFC championship games and a Super Bowl during his five years as their unquestioned No. 1 back, averaged 1,657 yards of offense and 10 touchdowns during those five seasons. His touches varied wildly from a high of 368 in 2007 to a low of 217 in 2005. McCoy is on pace for 1,719 yards and 11 touchdowns on 317 touches, exactly as many as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] had in 2006.
"He's been doing a good job, so there's not a lot of preserving that goes on in the National Football League, especially at this time of the year," Eagles coach Andy Reid said of McCoy, who has played through a broken rib and now has a sprained shoulder but is expected to remain in the lineup for the first-place showdown with the Giants. "He's worked through some things this season. He's a tough kid. (But) I'm going to keep a close eye on (McCoy's shoulder) and make sure that I'm comfortable with how he feels."
