Dan and Nick break down the All-22 coaches film of the Giants defense against the Jaguars in Week 7. As promised, they follow the film and refuse to sugarcoat it – point blank – the defense was uncharacteristically undisciplined and it lead to major breakdowns in run defense and in coverage. These breakdowns stemmed primarily from the second level play from the LBs. They go over struggles from Jaylon Smith and Tae Crowder, lapses in coverage, a total lack of pressure, Doug Pederson winning the chess match and several plays where the defense wasn’t aligned/ready just before the snap before breaking down some of the great reps from Adoree Jackson, Dexter Lawrence and others – and then finally handing out superlatives: best player, highest-effort player, unheralded player and grades for both the pass rush and run defense.
