Summer School: The Giants And Defensive Line Rotations

Related Topics: lineman

During the 2016 season, the New York Giants had a few statistical oddities when it came to which players and formations were on the field for each side of the ball. We’ve already talked numerous times about the offense’s almost exclusive use of 11 personnel (three wide receivers, one tight end, one running back). On 92 percent of the Giants’ offensive plays, three receivers were on the field. No other team was above 76 percent. The other side of the ball gets talked about slightly less, but the Giants were just as fixed in their ways along the defensive line.
