BRADBERRY AND JOSEPH SAY HELLO TO BIG BLUE
Cornerback James Bradberry will make his return to MetLife Stadium since the Giants released him this past offseason. He played two seasons in New York recording over 100 total tackles, seven interceptions, and 35 passes defended in 32 games, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2020.
He has been one of the best free agent additions to the Eagles' defense – a lockdown corner. His debut in Eagles green included a pick-six on Lions quarterback Jared Goff in Week 1. Since then, he ranks 2nd in the NFL in passes defended and opponent passer rating. He also ranks 3rd in opponent completion percentage with 45.5%.
The tandem of him and Slay has created a formidable back unit that most offenses have struggled to overcome. Sirianni also reported that Bradberry was the team's Player of the Game against Tennessee due to his stellar performance.
This week Defensive Coordinator Jonathan Gannon said, "James Bradberry's football character, you would put it up against anybody in the world. Glad we have him."
For Bradberry's part, there are no hard feelings. New York had to make a business decision in May due to cap space struggles, and the cornerback is happy to be in Philadelphia.
He asked the media, "What's our record right now?" Someone responded, "11-1." He repeated, "11-1. So I've just been focused on playing for the Eagles, I really haven't been worried about the Giants. But I am excited to go out there and play a divisional game, and compete, and get a win."
His partner in crime, Slay, joked at his locker this week that he doesn't know why New York let Bradberry walk out of the building, but he's sure glad they did.
Defensive tackle Linval Joseph will also meet his former team. In his four seasons in New York (2010-13), he played in 53 games and recorded nine sacks. Nine seasons later, he finds himself on the other side of the rivalry.
"I just want to see what they're going to do. I haven't been back in a long time, so curious to see the atmosphere and just excited about this game," Joseph said.
