WHAT IT MEANT: It means no matter what type of pressure the Giants sent, they forced a lot of short throws, by jamming receivers at the line and forcing the quarterback to get rid of the ball quickly. But overall, the Packers did a good job of protecting Favre. The trouble was they needed to help by chipping with backs, and sliding to help their tackles on the edge with Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan, which affect how many receivers they were able to release into the pattern and also restricted them from constantly switching personnel like they normally do.
