New York Giants: James Bettcher on the spot versus Panthers

Brees is as every bit the pocket-passer as is the New York Giants Eli Manning. But Saints head coach Sean Payton decided to put in a package exclusively for Swiss Army knife quarterback Taysom Hill. According to Pro Football Reference, Hill ran for 28 yards on four carries, as New Orleans defeated the G-Men 33-18 at the Meadowlands.

In the first few weeks of the NFL season, the New York Giants have struggled mightily against the quarterback read option play. Remember in Week 1, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles burned Big Blue with a 41-yard scamper in the season opener.
