Here’s how the Giants attacked Jeff Garcia on his 40 pass drops: 3-man pressure: 3 of 40 snaps (1 first half/2 second half) GARCIA NUMBERS WHAT IT MEANT: The Giants forced Garcia to get rid of the ball quickly, no matter what kind of pressure they brought. The QB averaged an anemic 5.31 yards per attempt, and that number dropped to 3.4 yards when New York brought six. The Giants prompted the fast release and checkdowns also through deception, overloading a side and dropping a lineman on the opposite end, while rotating the coverage over. Just a masterful job of keeping an efficient passing attack in check by Steve Spagnuolo, whose Jim Johnson roots are showing. The rush didn’t always get there. But the threat was omnipresent, and that’s the idea. |
