This guy runs a podcast called Locked On Saints. a daily podcast not weekly, very unusual

I learned more from this short podcast than I could ever have imagined
He has studied our personnel groups and play call tendencies in minute detail
He explains the mechanics of personnel groups and how we call plays off those very clearly

It starts off slow but gets better and better

Fantastic stuff

So let's see what you took away from this. Why have the Giants only targeted 30% middle of the field under Tommy DeVito and also less under Tyrod than Daniel Jones? Why do they attack the sidelines as much as they do? There are three main reasons.

-safer.  the sideline itself cant be defended
-less defenders outside the numbers
-unexpected as the accuracy must be precise- most teams hit the crossing patterns or comebacks --in the middle of the field.  if you saw the footwork Robinson used to get open it was ankle snapping....on the crossing patterns you can just wing a line drive

Was a facinating podcast though....much more in depth than most podcasters out there
he also explaind the jargon for the layman  2-1 personnel etc

Think about the open passing lanes to a QB with a struggling Offensive Line, clogging the middle.

Think about a QB 6'5- 6'6 like Eli and Jones vs TT and TD who are three to four inches shorter on crossing routes and Slants closer to the LOS than sideline and outside routes.

Think about the difficulty the Oline has in creating Gap holes and spreading the Defensive Linebackers and Safeties to open up inside runs.

Think about the lack of height and power without a TE they can send on an intermediate up the seam with Waller out.

Btw, the sideline is a defender.

Btw, the sideline is a defender.

I meant the DBs cannot attack the WR from the sideline

They only have 3 vectors to attack from

if it is thrown close to the sideline its very hard for a defender to break it up without committing PI
