You see the talent. Josh Huff has shown glimpses of it in his year-plus as an Eagle - a catch and run here, a kickoff return there, a burst of explosiveness that makes you say, "When he gets it together, Josh Huff is going to be something special."

That time is now for Huff, who should have a featured role in the Eagles' offense against the Giants in this critical Week 6 game. Huff demonstrated last Sunday against the Saints that he's got game - 4 catches, 83 yards including a 41-yard catch and run and somersault into the end zone.

But what separates the teasers from the ballers in this league is consistency, and Huff needs to follow up that encouraging game with a big effort against New York. The Giants have not played well in the secondary this season, as evidenced by their 32nd-in-the-league ranking in pass defense. Add to that some injuries and the Eagles should, even without rookie wide receiver Nelson Agholor, some opportunities to make big plays throwing the football.

And that's where Huff factors into the equation. He created some unwanted headlines during the week when he suggested that New York cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie "takes some plays off" and that safety Landon Collins is a weak link in pass coverage. Now Huff is in the spotlight for reasons other than his play last Sunday. He's going to have some Giants gunning for him.

It's a chance for Huff to step up and show that he can be a reliable, trusted contributor to this passing game. In many ways, it's a crossroads game for Huff in his second Eagles season.

How much has Huff grown up since his quiet rookie season? We're going to get a really important peek into his stage of development against the Giants. Huff needs to be a major factor in this one.
