In our first two detailed looks at plays by the New York Giants in 2018, we looked at a pair of intricate plays. First we saw a variation of the Y-Cross concept designed to get the ball to Evan Engram in space, and the second was an exotic blitz scheme designed to create confusion in an offense.
But while both of those plays were effective, teams don’t always have to get complicated to get the job done. Many times the most effective plays are the ones are also some of the simplest.
