3.) Pass rush must get after Carson Wentz
The Giants have struggled to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks at the OLB position, so DC Patrick Graham has had to get creative with his methods. Luckily for him, interior defensive lineman Leonard Williams has wreaked havoc in the trenches, bursting through double teams and getting after the quarterback routinely.
However, the Eagles are always a pesky team to play against, even when their offensive line isn’t playing up to standard.
I anticipate the Giants relying on Williams to provide that push up front, but expect plenty of delayed linebacker blitzes and even cornerback blitzes off the edge. The Giants are going to have to get creative to stop some of the Eagles’ playmakers, and it starts with putting Wentz under pressure and forcing bad decisions.
