4:15 p.m. UPDATE: Cofield might have been trying to get Kerrigan's attention, but the rookie claims he knew what was coming anyway, according to a breakdown by SBNation.com. Then again, maybe Cofield provided the buzz word in advance scouting. You could tell from his look after the audible he was saying to Kerrigan, "You heard that, right?"

Barry Cofield said he had the advantage because he's seen the Giants' offense in practice for five years.

And maybe that was the difference on Sunday.

After watching the TV broadcast of Ryan Kerrigan’s game-winning interception return for a touchdown, something tells me Kerrigan knew what was coming. And that something is a look (and maybe a word or two) from Cofield after Eli Manning called an audible at the line.

Manning sees the Redskins’ seven-man blitz coming, so he walks forward and yells something to his lineman. (It was either “Block it!” or “Rocket!” Tough to tell.) The ‘Skins defenders trade knowing looks, linebacker Rocky McIntosh tells cornerback DeAngelo Hall to move forward on Hakeem Nicks because the quick throw is coming and Cofield looks right at Kerrigan and S Oshiomogho Atogwe, who were over Kareem McKenzie.

McKenzie said most times defenders protect themselves when blockers are lunging at their legs or — worse — higher. I think we know why Kerrigan didn’t: He knew what was coming. And I think Atogwe did, too, because he ran with his head down and then suddenly jumped up to bat down a pass he couldn't have seen coming, on account of his eyes being down.

The Giants are 0-1. And it looks like insider trading is the reason why.

I’m almost done the game review — I’m up to the blocked field goal. But I have to run to the stadium, so rather than rush it, I’ll make sure everything is in proper order. It’ll be posted later on.

The above breakdown was part of it, so I threw it your way as an appetizer. Your entrée is coming. Don’t fill up on the bread.
