The Giants dissection of the up-to-then perfect Patriots is a wonder to behold. They had the Pats superstar offense so completely figured out that by day's end, they were frustrated, confused and utterly beaten.

The basis for the gameplan the Giants used in that contest was a 125 page scouting report that covered all their strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, etc.

One of the men who helped put that report together is now our General Manager.

Giants beat the Pats with a pass rush, Gettleman talked about needing the "big guys" to win... this is what he meant on the defensive side of the ball.

One of the best QB's of all time was made to look average with a pass rush.

Brady just about always folds when his opponent can get consistent pressure.

It oughtta be well known by now that that's how to beat him, but a fair number of teams are too buffaloed by his reputation to try it. Teams like the Giants and Ravens show why you shouldn't be.

So does Manning and Brees.

No QB can do much facing consistent pressure. You rush your reads, lose composure in the pocket and are often forced to abandon mechanics and footwork.

Gettleman was the head honcho of that report, I think

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
