Take pre -season matches for what they are – a chance for players to get used to playing each other with each other, so that recruits enter the rhythm of the real NFL play action, and for those of the alignment bubble. However, however, the victory of the New York 31-12 Giants over New York Jets was a success. If nothing else, it’s been years since the giants have defeated the jets in a game, whether or not it, and Goodness knows, this team must get used to winning after two miserable seasons. Let’s see who was on the ground a lot or a little and how they played your favorite assessors, the people of pro football focus.
A note on playing time: in pre-season matches, the counts are not significant in the way they are in the regular season. In real games, the best players play as much as possible. Depending on the position and the talent, some can play all the clichés (for example, the quarter-rear, the start of offensive lines, the seconds out of ball, the defensive backs). Other positions will inevitably turn into and go out (for example, defensive line, runners, receivers). During the pre-season, however, the two objectives of the coaches are to obtain sufficient beginners to prepare them for the real season and to assess those of the alignment bubble and those whose roles could develop given a fair chance of shining. Here is Brian Daboll’s explanation on this subject:
“We had a target of what we wanted to get. For example, the interior seconds, we hoped about 20 years, so I asked between each series:” Where are we with (the interior second) Bobby O (Okereke)? “‘He’s at 15.” Where are we with (the interior second) Micah (McFadden)? “He is 21 or 20 years old. “Very well, get Bobby O One More. ‘He is 25 years old.’ We had the number of representatives we wanted to obtain, then who was there, when they were there, does not necessarily mean anything … Just in this area, so I would say the representatives who count that everyone does, I understand it, but there is a specific plan for that and the reason why we do it. »»
It is great that the Giants have collected more than 30 points in their first two pre-season games. Do not forget, however, which is on the ground on the other side of the ball. The jets, who have had a fairly robust defense in the past two years, have not played in the Gardner sauce, Quinnen Williams, Will McDonald IV and Jermaine Johnson last night. In the practices this week, the defense mainly gave the giants the attack on the giants. Keep this in mind by looking at the offensive notes. First of all, the quarter-rear:
PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS
The quarters of the giants made three large -scale throws last night, with Russell Wilson (81.7) leading the pack due mainly to his moon ball in beautiful collins. Tommy Devito (76.3) and Jameis Winston (61.2) had their own big games. Jaxson Dart (67.4) had a very effective but not very spectacular evening compared to his first match, but he had 14 out of 16 with the only TD pass of the match.
PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS
Welcome to the Giants of New York, the House of Large receptors of the NFL Elite. Zach Pascal noted 85.7 for his two receptions in two targets for 27 yards, while Jordan Bly (85.3) had only one taking on a single target, but it was a beauty of 41 yards from Tommy Devito. Beautiful Collins (84.9) had the capture and the race that everyone will remember, an 80 yards that failed to be a TD on the first Russell Wilson moon ball as a giant. Dalen Cambre (79.3) would not be refused either, with two catches in three targets for 45 yards. Who needs Nabres Malik?
The tight ends of the Giants also spent a good night, led by Theo Johnson (82.8), which had 35 yac on a 30 yards take and race, and Greg Dulcich (69.0), which had a TD reception of 20 yards. It should be noted that all tight ends and running backs that pass blocked have been classified above average. Dante Miller, a ball carrier, has so far impressed as a receiver (72.1).
Speaking of running backs:
Miller also made Hay last night as a runner (72.9), with 17 yards in five attempts. The other runners had average notes. It should be noted, however, the 29 meters after the contact (YCO) of Tyrone Tracy, continuing what we saw of him last year, as well as the 14 Yco by Miller and the 13 Yco by Jonathan Ward.
I sorted the blocking statistics by the number of blocking snaps to isolate the automation lines, and those who played enough shots for their rating to be significant. Thus, the players are not in order classified by Grade. Jermaine Eluemunor (76.0 in total) continues to be the best combined pass and race blocker on the giant offensive line with Andrew Thomas away. However, Aaron Stinnie (71.9) has classified the second consecutive match, in particular in blocking passes. The same goes for a lesser extent for Austin Schlottman (70.2). Evan Neal had his moments but had a difficult night overall (47.6), including a QB. Marcus Mbow (55.6) was less impressive than last week in Buffalo, making two strokes of QB. James Hudson III (52.7) abandoned the only night bag by OL. Again, it is worth remembering, when we see the beautiful pocket that the line gave to Russell Wilson on his moon ball to beautiful collins, that the best rushers of the jets were all on the touch last night.
- The most notable offensive development was the defensive platform Elijah Chatman obtaining two shots at the rear.
- As was the case last week, the four quarters played, although Devito had only one series. The highlight of the evening was the launch of Dart for a game unexpectedly.
- Departure offensive line players (including the temporary departure lieutenant James Hudson III) obtained 19 snaps with the exception of Greg Van Roten, who had only 8. Evan Neal played with the starters in his place.
- Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt saw their first action but only for a limited number of snaps. Most of the reception shots went to the shooter Olszewski, to Juice Wells and Lil’Jordan Humphrey, with beautiful Collins, Dalen Cambre and Montrell Washington playing a decent number of Snaps and Zach Pascal, Wan’dale Robinson and Jordan play less.
- Daniel Bellinger did not play. The other four tight ends (Theo Johnson, Thomas Fidone II, Greg Dulcich and Jermaine Terry) saw almost equal amounts of action.
Unlike the offensive, where players in specific positions have mainly specific roles, in defense, everyone tries to tackle, many try to cover, and many try to stop the race, so there is no easy way to group them. Let’s start with the players who played the best overall:
PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS
The whole defense did an excellent job last night. It was that the quarter-back leaving Justin Fields only played a little, and when he did, he especially recovered rather than passing … But he did not go well either. It should be noted that Nic Jones played well in the cover (89.2), abandoning two receptions in three targets, but for only 4 yards, and that Cor’dale Flott (83.5), in competition for the CB2 position, had a great break in a pass to Garrett Wilson. Among the other defensive backs, Dee Williams (88.7 but only two cover snaps), Makari Paige (87.1), Dane Belton (78.4), Dru Phillips (75.1) and Paulson Adebo (71.1) all played well.
In the seconds’ body, Dyontae Johnson (86.5) stood out, as was Bobby Okereke (81.9), KJ Cloyd (76.9) and Chris Board (70.9 after an approximate game in Buffalo).
On the interior defensive line, Roy Robertson-Harris (82.2) stood out, in particular with a defense note of 76.4. Fans are rightly concerned about defense of the Giants’ interior race after last year’s sieve performance when Dexter Lawrence was released, but the combination of Lawrence and Robertson-Harris should improve things this year. Elijah Garcia (71.0) has also played well in a limited action.
On the edge, Brian Burns (81.3) experienced a very good game overall despite no QB pressure. Trace Ford (70.7), the free agent of Oklahoma. had had his second good consecutive performance, obtaining two obstacles and hitting a pass.
These are the right notes. Here are the rest of the defense notes, the average, the mediocre and the ugly:
PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS
The most notable aspect of this graph is that the choice n ° 3 of the repechage Abdul Carter (46.9) followed its beginnings in Buffalo with a no-shoker against the jets. He has rose up in five shots of rush to five passes; The low note was due to his coverage score of 36.6, resulting from a reception of 20 yards which he abandoned in Brandon Smith. Jordon Riley (29.5) had his second tackle missed in two pre-season games. Micah McFadden (48.8) ranked low after his excellent match in Buffalo, mainly following a tackle missed on a ground game.
The other starters classified the average to average beach lower than the average. It should be noted that the choice of third round Darius Alexander at least made the statistics sheet with a tackle, but its performance was otherwise not described. Kayvon Thibodeaux ranked on average 65.7 but was active, with a QB stroke (and an overall note of 88.6 assists), 3 plated and a decisive pass. Rakeem Nunez-Rostes was 56.0 in total, but had a rush note of 78.0 passes and a tackle.
This is where you really see the effects of the different facets of giant decisions to get specific players for a specific number of snaps but for different reasons as described by Brian Daboll. The vast majority of defensive players played 15-30 snaps last night, without rhyme or obvious reason as seen from the outside. Defensive backs like Raheem Layne, TJ Moore, Art Green, Nic Jones and Dane Belton have played a lot, but probably not all for the same reason – Belton saw most of the action because Tyler Nubin did not play, while the others are in competition for a place on the list. The starters Paulson Adebo, Jevon Holland, Cor’dale Flott and Dru Phillips all played 17-19 snaps, but defensive line players who are not at all assured of doing the 53 like DJ Davidson, Cory Durden, Elijah Garcia, Jeremiah Ledbetter and Jordon Riley also played about many snaps departure mentioned above. It should be noted that the choice of seventh round, Korie Black, who missed last week’s match, saw his first professional action, obtaining 12 snaps.
