these clutch plays as a run defense.

Like my primary takeaway from the game was how in tune and how together the defense played with their run fits specifically.

And it happened passing to like passwise.

There was a lot of double teaming on Chase and just removing him as an option.

I felt like I don't know. And spoiler alert, I don't have a, we expect more from this

player for the superlatives here because the Giants defense played freaking well.

Guys like Cordell Flot held their own, the safeties, freaking played well, the linebackers

with all that's on their plate, man, the defensive line, the edges, I am so pleased with what I saw from this defensive unit against a freaking really good offense because one of the best offenses in the national football league that's held back by their defense. I think that's okay, right? Like, if the Giants had dominated against a bad offense, it would have been one thing. And it would have been nice to dominate against the best offense by EPA going into this game. It's a whole other story to show how good of a game they had. And I will say this to something you said about, you know, them understanding their run fits so much better. It seems like they've really picked up the system. We were building, we, you know, we were sold to bill of goods with Shane Bowen that we'd get a good run defense, Nick, and a good red zone defense. And that's starting to really come to play with this bone defense. I will say one thing, though, because it's fair. I have to say it since I talk about this lot on Beyond the Box Corps. I do personally believe Zach Taylor runs. I'm going to call it the second worst run game in the entire NFL, the second least impressive run game. I will say that Chain Raulgren runs the worst run game in the entire NFL, the second least impressive run game. I will say that

Shane Raldron runs the worst run game in the NFL, but there's no diversity to this thing.

It's been pretty bad for a while. I watched Joe Mixen now, and he looks completely awesome in an

outside zone scheme with, with, in Houston, with what's his name with Bobby Sloick? And it's like, yeah, I kind of predicted that. I was high on mixing and fantasy this year for that exact reason. So I want to at least throw that caveat. This is not like shutting down the best run game, but they still did. You could see it's team ball. They're rallying. Yeah. Yeah. It's the team ball process that really pleased me. And I know you saw this too, man. Like there are times where Brian Burns, look, he's unblocked. He's the rede defender or he is unblocked initially and then a tight end is capping him coming from the side, like on a split inside zone type of run. And you see Burns step down, restrict the space to the inside, spill everything outside and then have the wherewithal to disengage from

that tight end who's trying to cap him get back outside elongate the path and then you see dionte

banks flying who's the force defender or Andrew Phillips who's the primary force and then banks

is the secondary force and you can just see they're all where they need to be and i freaking love that

from a football standpoint and i really love that because that is like, you know, full 3.9,

full 3.9.

Just when everyone is where they need to be and everyone is executing.

Because we haven't seen that from a defense for quite a while, man.

Like we loved studying Link Martindale's defense because it was unique.

It was different.

And it was cool every time to see his exotic blitz whenever it was third and six plus.

But they couldn't fit power gap at, there was no spill.
