Full Version: Why Don't We Take Notes From The Giants Vs The Pats?

We're most likely going to need help with our pass rush this year, so why don't we, or any teams, get creative with their pass rush like the Giants did against the Pats?

I realize that they had some good pass rushers, and I'd have to go back and watch, but, from my memory, they had defenders all over on the line in different spots and then they'd all rush in different gaps. It was impossible to tell who was blitzing and who was dropping into coverage and where they were blitzing/pass rushing.

Why haven't we, or really any other teams, tried to duplicate that?

I realize that they were game planning that for a while, but why not bring confusion against offenses?

I also realize that we can't do it every play, but why not on obvious passing downs?
Why was this moved to Around The NFL? It was about the Bengals using a strategy to get a pass rush.
