What can we learn about the New York Giants from the Pro Football Focus grades and snap count data following Sunday’s victory over the Chicago Bears? Let’s take a look and find out.
Offense
Let’s start with this — Andrew Thomas is really good football player. Really, really good. Thomas was the Giants’ highest-graded offensive player at 87.0. He did not give up a single pressure in 26 pass-blocking snaps.
Oh, by the way, Thomas is still PFF’s highest-graded offensive tackle so far this season. Thomas has allowed one quarterback hit in 157 pass-blocking snaps this season.
Here are a few more takeaways from the offensive grades:
- All three Giants tight ends, Chris Myarick (73.9), Daniel Bellinger (73.0) and Tanner Hudson (70.0) graded at 70.0 or above.
- Evan Neal did not allow any pressures in 21 pass-blocking snaps. That’s a nice bounce back from his rough game last Monday night.
Snap count notes
- Darius Slayton played 39 snaps.
- Devery Hamilton played 23 snaps and Josh Ezeudu eight as the Giants had to shuffle due to injuries to Neal and Mark Glowinski.
Defense
- Dexter Lawrence (92.7 overall grade, two sacks, eight total pressures) had a monstrous game.
- Jaylon smith (83.8) posted an outstanding PFF grade.
- PFF always hates linebacker Tae Crowder, but gave him a 69.9 grade for Sunday’s performance.
- Micah McFadden had the lowest defensive grade, a 28.7 in just 27 snaps.
Snap count notes
- Lawrence played an incredible 58 of 62 snaps.
- Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dane Belton each got 46 snaps.
- Slot cornerback Darnay Holmes played only 30 snaps.
