NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Giants offenisve diversity

This Washington Post article talks about how the Redskins will have to play differently against the giants thean they did against Tampa Bay, but that there would still be plenty of pressure. It seems that Washington wants to ahve a different player star every week, like saftey Matt Bowen did last week. The Redskins defensive coordinator had this to say:

"We'll have to adapt when teams max protect more," Williams said. "For whatever reason Tampa chose not to max protect, and New York might, and if that happens then we're going to have to adapt."

In other words, the reason they blitzed Tampa Bay 70% of the time was because Tampa Bay wouldn't do anything to make the blitz less effective. As a result Washington only used a few of the plays in their defensive book. Expect to see more variety tomorrow when they meet the Giants.
