Here is a brief look at the Pro Football focus grades and the snap counts from Thursday's New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears game.
PFF Grades
Offense
Best
Justin Pugh +3.9
Will Beatty +2.9
Jim Cordle +1.8
Bear Pascoe +1.7
Victor Cruz +1.6
Reuben Randle +1.6
Brandon Jacobs +1.2
Worst
Larry Donnell - 2.1
David Diehl - 2.1
Takeaways: Great to see some solid scores from the offensive line, which played much better. Pugh had +2.6 in run-blocking, a positive sign for the rookie right tackle.
Defense
Best
Mike Patterson +1.4
Spencer Paysinger +1.3
Worst
Antrel Rolle -2.8
Shaun Rogers -2.8
Prince Amukamara -2.3
Keith Rivers -1.9
Terrell Thomas -1.8
Jason Pierre-Paul -1.5
Takeaways: It's really distressing to see Pierre-Paul in negative numbers. He just isn't the same player post-back surgery.
Snap Counts
Offense
Player | Pos. | Snaps |
Kevin Boothe | G | 54 |
Jim Cordle | C | 54 |
Justin Pugh | T | 54 |
David Diehl | G | 54 |
Will Beatty | T | 54 |
Eli Manning | QB | 54 |
Hakeem Nicks | WR | 52 |
Victor Cruz | WR | 50 |
Bear Pascoe | TE | 33 |
Brandon Jacobs | RB | 33 |
Brandon Myers | TE | 30 |
Reuben Randle | WR | 22 |
Da'Rel Scott | RB | 16 |
Larry Donnell | TE | 15 |
John Conner | FB | 15 |
Jerrel Jernigan | WR | 3 |
James Brewer | G | 1 |
Takeaways: That's not a lot of snaps for Conner, but the Giants did run the ball well with the fullback in the game. My personal belief is also that the Giants have to begin giving Donnell and Adrien Robinson (if he ever gets healthy) the majority of the playing time at tight end.
Defense
Player | Pos. | Snaps |
Spencer Paysinger | LB | 68 |
Prince Amukamara | CB | 68 |
Antrel Rolle | S | 68 |
Jon Beason | LB | 63 |
Ryan Mundy | S | 62 |
Terrell Thomas | CB | 62 |
Jason Pierre-Paul | DE | 60 |
Justin Tuck | DE | 47 |
Will Hill | S | 40 |
Mathias Kiwanuka | DE | 39 |
Cullen Jenkins | DT | 38 |
Linval Joseph | DT | 34 |
Keith Rivers | LB | 28 |
Shaun Rogers | DT | 27 |
Mike Patterson | DT | 25 |
Johnathan Hankins | DT | 8 |
Mark Herzlich | LB | 6 |
Jacquian Williams | LB | 5 |
Takeaways: A little bit disappointing to see Johnathan Hankins get only eight snaps, but it is difficult because the veteran guys in front of him continue to play well.
