ALL-22 Defense: Patrick Graham coaches best game of any coordinator in at least three years and more Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive deep into the All-22 film of a Giants game where the defense got off the field early and often on third downs, shut down a Rams run game that had easily eclipsed 100 yards with breakout RB Darrell Henderson in consecutive games (Rams had just 2.3 yards per carry vs. Giants) and more. How did Patrick Graham do it? A great game plan, mixing in pattern much coverage, adjustments in scheme and personnel, and more. Individual breakdowns include: Blake Martinez, Kyler Fackrell, Austin Johnson, Tae Crowder and more. That and everything else the All-22 told us about the defensive side of the ball.

ALL-22 Offense: Jones better on tape, Thomas worse and more Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive deep into the All-22 film of a Giants game against the Rams where they sustained more offensive drives, outgained the Rams on offense and won of the time of possessions. So why did they lose? The All-22 shows the missed opportunities that played a key role in deciding the game. They break down the good and bad from Daniel Jones, but ultimately why the All-22 tells a better story than the broadcast did. They highlight a surprisingly strong performance (for the most part) from Nick Gates and a performance that was -- quite frankly -- even worse on tape from Andrew Thomas. That and more on the All-22 breakdown of the offense.

ALL-22: Jones much better on tape, Andrew Thomas growing concerning? Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive into the All-22 game film and come away a lot more optimistic about the offense than expected. Remember, it started with a very low bar, but Daniel Jones' game tape tells a much different story than the box score. They're close, but there are little mistakes that need to be cleaned up -- a growing concern with the left side of the offensive line -- and they dive deep into all of it before turning over to what the film said about the defensive side of the ball.
