Edge Pass Rush Improved?

christian : 9/15/2019 9:28 pm
The Giants tallied 3 sacks and 6 quarterback hits today. Ximines, Golden, and Carter were all in on the action.

Arrow pointing up?
They still don’t

make plays when it’s most needed. But at least they did something..
Yeah,

I think it was. Allen is a big, mobile, QB. Guys like that are hard to bring down. The problem was in the secondary.
Half that pressure was just because of coverage and the Billls oline

sucks. Should have been more pressure today.

The pass rush was much better today. Our offense can't get enough going and when they do they shoot themselves in foot ie Eli batted INT.

The secondary is weak.

The pass rush was much better. Carter arrow def pointing up so hopefully he is a guy we can count on going forward and if ximenes improves we might have a solid duo. Add one in draft n go from there

More pressure or more plays on the QB? 3 sacks and 6 hits per game would put a defense pretty high overall in those stats.
Their was decent pressure after the first

but Allen is big and mobile and nullified it a lot. He made impressive throws on the move. It showed what we're lacking now with Eli, when he leaves the pocket, might as well blow the whistle.
it was better than last week

but that isn't saying much
Allen

Holds on to the ball too long at times, when it mattered early they gave up 1st downs on two 3rd and tens in one drive.
This is one area that may improve a little, but I don't think we can

expect too much.

The Giants got some hits, but in general I don't walk away feeling like Allen was under duress.

I'm interested in how many snaps he was under pressure.

I'm much more concerned with the line. You have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round player compromising that line, and it doesn't seem to be moving the pocket.
THe Hill/Lawrence DE tandem was stupid beyond belief.

They started moving Golden and Carter from LB to DE together today. And they worked in a little Ximines at DE as well. While it wasn't great, at least it resembled a pass rush
The defense

improved the offense did not. Time to make the change and see what happens. Nothing to lose so lets five it a shot.

Giants play a 3-4. In that scheme, the DEs are run stuffers, not pass rushers. The OLBs are supposed to provide most of the pass rush, unless a safety or corner blitz is called.

I'd imagine on pass plays Bettcher expects the ends to be collapsing the pocket, no?
