Do you think the Giants will blitz less against the eagles?

jeffusedtobeonwebtv : 1/20/2023 10:51 am
This article seems to say that Martindale calls less blitzes in the playoffs, not only based on last week's game against the Viking but also his history with the Ravens.

Not a chance in hell.

The Eagles rarely blitz.
I completely misread that.

I thought it said less than the Eagles. Disregard my previous post.

To answer your question, we'll see. Whatever works. I think we'll see a higher percentage than we saw against Minnesota but now sure about his yearly average.
I believe Wink blitzed less  
Spiciest Memelord : 1/20/2023 10:58 am : link
because Kurt Cousins was good against the blitz statistically.
I think he blitzes more

We had a talent edge on the DL and they had one specific weapon in Jefferson to contain. It made sense to rush 4 and roll coverage over to Jefferson.

Talent edge isn't quite there this week, especially if Lane Johnson is healthy and they're a much more dynamic offense. The Giants absolutely have to create pressure so I imagine the gameplan will be to do whatever it takes to get there. Especially when you have Hurts nursing a shoulder and not performing well against pressure, you have to get to him.
Look at Sy's Twitter

He put out a stat (that he's also put in his post game write ups) that outline's how Hurts does vs pressure.

Long story short, Hurts is a drastically different QB when someone is in his face. I completely expect Wink to make sure someone is in his face...
They sent ppl often in week 18  
OBJ_AllDay : 1/20/2023 11:12 am : link
And I expect more of the same.
If our front four is healthy  
johnnyb : 1/20/2023 11:20 am : link
and they are, we should be able to put pressure on Hurts with a four man rush, dropping seven
...  
ryanmkeane : 1/20/2023 11:23 am : link
with Jackson back and the injury to hurts somewhat unknown, i think we will blitz a decent amount.

put the QB on his fucking back.
I expect heavy blitzing by Giants

I expect more Blitzes

to get Hurts running. And if he's running he's like a running back and not a QB and the Giants can hit him hard especially on the shoulder. I see Winks game planning for Hurts running and having the Giants gang hitting him at the shoulder. I see Hurts getting knocked out of the game because of his shoulder.
I expect a lot of disguised blitzes with the Giants dropping into zone  
BigBlue7 : 1/20/2023 11:40 am : link
behind it. I don't think they will bring EXTRA guys a ton - but Wink will try to keep switching up which 4 guys are coming and from where.

*Winks game planning for letting Hurts run
We need to get pressure with four

Relying on blitzes in the playoffs against good QBs is usually a death sentence.
Wink didn’t blitz much against Minny  
Section331 : 1/20/2023 11:42 am : link
in the regular season either. 2 reasons - Cousins is really good against the blitz, and he wanted to shade safety help over to wherever Jefferson was lined up.

I think he goes light on the blitz this time out as well, also for 2 very different reasons. One, he’ll need extra defenders to help out with Philly’s 2 excellent WR’s in Brown and Smith, and 2, he’ll likely want a spy to track Hurts.
He blitzes way more  
Little30 : 1/20/2023 11:45 am : link
Than last week and plays man. Gonna come at hurts- he is worse under pressure (vs cousins who excelled against blitz). We are coming after them tomorrow night- win or lose. Hurts will pick you apart if we play how we played minny. Blitz is on this week and man up with on AJ, darnay on smith… they will adjust accordingly but I bet that’s how we come out
I think Wink will want to find a way to stop the run  
Lines of Scrimmage : 1/20/2023 12:04 pm : link
and hopefully Hurts compromised a bit health wise helps with this. The other big thing is Johnson and I think will want to see where that situation is.

Get them into poor down/distance situations and then yes I think he blitzes. Make the Eagles front and Hurts show they can handle it. Adjust accordingly.
Usually we, and a lot of teams, send 4 or 5 but try to contain  
PatersonPlank : 1/20/2023 12:14 pm : link
the running QB in the pocket by keeping the DE's wide. This makes Hurts come up the middle if he wants to run, where we have a player like Collins "scouting" him. Running QB's are trouble when they get wide or if there is no "Collins" watching him
I would move Thibs around the LOS as a blitzer  
JerrysKids : 1/20/2023 12:50 pm : link
and have Azeez and Oshane on the ends in third and long. Nascar package.
Would Blitzing More Be The Way To Go Against Hurts Though?  
LTIsTheGreatest : 1/20/2023 1:00 pm : link
If he manages to elude the rushers, that gives him mre opportunities to use his most dangerous weapon, his legs to run wild
Gonna have to contain the edge or Hurts will  
Blue21 : 1/20/2023 1:02 pm : link
hurt us(pun intended) Blitz may have to come from the middle or our CBsor Safetys on the edge . Design 'em up Wink and hide them for us . Let the dogs out.
