Bill Chachkes speaks with Adam Levitan, Assistant Sports Editor of Metro’s Philadelphia edition.

-Rex Grossman - Gross or the man?

- Anthony Thomas - Bench or start?

- Defenses and IDP questions

and much more while Field Position’s Bill Chachkes and Metro Philly’s ‘Rotogeek’ Adam Levitan break it down.

Is Chicago Overrated? Many say no, we did before. But now, we’re not so sure.

What is going on with the quarterback changes?

Field Position Game of the Week Preview:

New York Giants host the Chicago Bears

The Giants continue to try to distance themselves from the pack in the NFC East. They suffered serveral key injuries which may help the possibly overrated Bears. The Bears will have the luxury of facing the Giants without Michael Strahan, Amani Toomer, Lavar Arrington and possibly Osi Umenyiora, and Brandon Short.
