Rc2catch Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 He was out there, but with so many rotations and the emphasis on stopping the run it looked like Lawson took some of his snaps over on Hughes side today. I’d be interested in seeing the snap counts on the D line
Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 DE's did not get much pressure but I also did not see them run many stunts. Seemed like it was a vanilla pass rush. I think they wanted to keep guys in their lanes to avoid getting gashed by the run. 9 2 2

They made a determined effort to stay in their lanes and not allow plays to get outside of them. Also, they stayed in their lanes so Barkley, the best back in the league, wouldn't have much space in the middle to gash through. With the exception of the first drive they didn't make the mistake of playing with reckless abandon and get caught out of positon but instead played responsibly and in control. Overall, our defensive line played cohesively and effectively. 8 2
KD in CA Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 They did a great job shutting down SB -- and by extension the Giants -- after the first quarter. 7 1

Southern Bills Fan Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I’m not an expert but I think after that first drive our D line was told to stay in their run lanes. 4

Expand Exactly! The key to beating the Giants today was containing Barkley. Frazier wasn’t worried about getting pressure, it was more about plugging running lanes and keeping edge containment. Eli wasn’t going to beat us. 2

Expand Exactly. Barkley had over 100 yards rushing, but 55 of those yards was on the first series of the game. The DE's may not have lit up the stat sheet with sacks, but they helped out. The Giants only got 14 points today. I'm satisfied with that. 1
Cripple Creek Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Very quite day for Hughes and he didn't seem to be in the field as much as what we're used to. I'm very interested in what we see from him next week.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 He was quiet today. Guessing he’s hurt or LT is very good.
DRA3196 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 our defense was content to let Eli have time in the pocket to throw the ball instead of attacking the pocket with a pass rush. That is why our pass rush looked so invisible and the defense did not blitz much today. It was by design to hold Barkley to minimal gains. If McDermott was going to let the defense get beat it was going to be by Manning, not Barkley, our pass rush is fine. Hughes is fine, Murphy is fine, Lawson is fine, Darryl Johnson is fine. (He got banged up but came back into the game). WOW!!!
SCBills Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Could be two-fold: 1) Contain Barkley 2) Giants have a pretty good OL 1
Mojo44 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 It seems like for many posters here if Hughes doesn’t have a bunch of sacks in a game he had a bad game. Of course this is not true! Just a bit more complex than that

billieve420 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Next years draft is deep at DE and WR. We can’t go wrong with either position. 1
