Sometimes TC is too loyal!! There is no way they didn't see Diehl get beat consistently over the past few weeks...granted the O-Line didn't give up a bunch of sacks but not giving Eli a clean pocket is just as bad.mann...when I saw that diehl was out and sean locklear was back on the line it was
Also it didn't hurt that KG actually ran a screen pass (a reverse screen pass at that...and not on 3rd down ) imagine my surprise when Bradshaw takes it up field and almost gets a TD . We've all been saying it for weeks "how about a slant or a screen something short". The Giant's Offense has been too predictable!! If teams are gonna double Cruz and keep a safety over the top to help with Nicks then the flats should be open...some of it is on Eli too bc he keeps looking up field instead of just checking it down and allowing Bradshaw to make a catch and see if he can break one or if he does dump it off he's taken so long that the D is already on Bradshaw. You start hitting teams short then it frees up the long ball...which then free's up the run.
If you watch the Deadskins thats what they do...Playaction with slant routes over the top so when the D bites on the playaction (even for a second) they aren't in the passing lanes to stop the slant. Then teams try to adjust and play the slant and then they throw deep (which is why u see all these big plays deep with no defenders around).
