How the Giants came after Tony Romo on his 40 pass drops: 3-man pressure: 2 of 40 snaps (2 first half/0 second half) ROMO NUMBERS WHAT IT MEANT: For one thing, the lackluster numbers against standard, four-man pressure meant that the Giants covered well in those situations. The sack was a result of coverage, and in plenty of other cases, the coverage was good enough to get the linemen into Romo’s face, with a collapsing pocket. And after Romo showed an aptitude for dealing with the Giants’ five-man pressure, Steve Spagnuolo seemed to approach a bit of all-or-nothing approach, sending either four or the house and crowding the line at times to disguise it. |

I guess this numbers defeat the perception about the Giants throwing the kitchen ast Romo in the 2nd half is wrong. They onl blitzed 7 out of 25 times.
The evidence is clear that the Boys failed against the 4 man rush in the second half (6 for 16).
The perception of all the blitzing was aided by the fact that the O-line stunk in the final 25 minutes of the game (after the 3rd Q FG).

Wow. As a Giants fan I pretty much only came on here to insult the Cowboys and their fans but in the process I have to say I have gained the world of respect for the writers of this Blog. You guys are first class and do a really great job. Kudos.
