The Story in 60 Seconds

Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media argues that New York Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter provides the cleanest path to disrupting Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Joe Milton in his first NFL start. Wilson suggests relying on a disciplined four-man rush featuring Carter to test Milton's ability to read coverage without surrendering scramble lanes against Philadelphia's mobile quarterback.
