3.) Put pressure on Kyle Allen
Putting pressure on Kyle Allen is an essential factor for the Giants if they want to win this week. Allen started his first game for Washington against the Rams in week five and was sacked twice in just 46% of available snaps.
He left the game the second half with a head injury but is all set to go against the Giants. With his minimal reps, I expect defensive coordinator Patrick Graham to use creative blitzes and try to confuse the young quarterback, who’s on his second team in three years.
As stated above, the Giants have 36 sacks on the season but recently lost Lorenzo Carter with a torn Achilles for the remainder of the year. They also have Oshane Ximines on injured reserve, so they will be wholly relying on Kyler Fackrell and Markus Golden to get the job done. They are more than capable pass rushers, but I fear the run defense will take a hit without Carter sealing the edge.
