Here's the lowdown on the Giants offense this afternoon/evening ... 2 RB/1 TE/2 WR (‘21’ pers.): 37 of 81 snaps (13 1st half/23 2nd half/1 OT) ANALYSIS: The Giants basically decided what would work, and stuck to it. On early and running downs, it was trotting fullback Madison Hedgecock out their to lead for Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, and to pass protect. In long-yardage situations, they spread the Packers secondary out. This benefited them in a couple ways. First, it got Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress singled up on the outside in running situations, which allowed them to work over Charles Woodson and Al Harris. And it exploited the Packers secondary by forcing more defensive backs on the field to cover guys like Steve Smith and even Toomer some, when he was in the slot. If it wasn’t clear enough last week, this Giants team looks supremely coached right now. |
