Eagles’ Defensive Coordinator on defending the Giants’ passing game that is missing WR Plaxico Burress: “We’ll still mix up our coverages and fronts, but it makes a difference without Plaxico, no question about it. The biggest thing with Plaxico was trying to get a good matchup. We have a guy who can match up against (Domenik) Hixon a little bit, but Plaxico was so tall it was hard to match up sometimes.”
