NFL Offenses aren't the only innovators and have copycats. NFL Defenses are right there!

The meta, it appears, is more and more teams blitzing less and less. And, a lot of the time, it WORKS.

The Rams, Seahawks, Texans, Packers & Eagles were amongst the bottom ten in blitz rate, and yet were in the TOP 10 in pressure rate in 2025.

They were getting home despite not bringing extra rushers. Why? Simulated pressures & coverage disguises. This is not new. Fangio-inspired, and now perfected by Jeff Hafley (big reason he's a HC now) and Mike MacDonald.

And guess what? The Titans blitzed 5th least last year and were 12th in no blitz pressure rate. Dennard Wilson is bringing similar concepts to the Giants.

It's also why having excellent press corners are also important (hence drafting Colton Hood - the best press corner in the draft).

If you can force the QB to hold on just a second and have them second guess where pressure is coming from, you have a successful defense.

It's why they were so excited with Arvell Reese & why some (not all, they are different prospects) overlap with Abdul Carter is so perfect. Both are alpha rushers that can play at a high enough level as stack linebackers to legitimately disguise where the pressure is going to come from.

Matt Patricia did an excellent job at OSU of disguising pressure.

Two such examples seen below vs Texas where Reese is threatening over the A gap. In one, he backs off and ends up as a spy on Arch, who is forced to dump off to the safety valve and the other is Arch getting confused and yields to the DB coming off the edge.

Can you imagine Abdul & Arvell double mugging the A gap and you have no clue who's coming and who isn't? Dennard Wilson must be giddy.

Next man up, make some money Micah.

But lord, at what point does it end? Haven't we been punished enough

Giants LB Tremaine Edmunds’ shoulder injury season-ending, per sources.

Another major blow for the Giants, who have already lost QB Jaxson Dart and OLB Brian Burns and a handful of other contributors to season-ending injuries.

Edmunds had played every defensive snap, helping rookie LB Arvell Reese’s acclimation to the NFL. Micah McFadden steps into Edmunds’ role. John Harbaugh has stated that the Giants have three starting ILB, so McFadden gets his shot.

Looks like they're gonna tank for a great draft pi..... wait.

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Colts HC Shane Steichen ruled out CB Sauce Gardner (calf) and TE Tyler Warren (groin) for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings.

Billionaire James Dolan dunks on his hard working "peons" with a fake email promising them rings?

It's another day that ends in -y

[NFL Researcher @NFL_Researcher]

Most pressures from 0 or 1 tech this season, per @NextGenStats:

1. Dexter Lawrence - 10
2. Byron Murphy II - 9
3. DJ Reader - 8
4. Deone Walker - 7
4. Levi Drake Rodriguez - 7

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

If they're committed to spending resources at RB instead of OL, I'd love for them to look at JC Davis at LG instead of Jon Runyan (unless Andrew Thomas is out)

[Underdog NFL @UnderdogNFL]

Giants will likely try to add to the RB room before trade deadline, per @Connor_J_Hughes.

@MONTECRI5TO @DanSchneierNFL @CamSkatteboCrew Id give a 2nd

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

Truly think the Giants were so disgusted with the run game that it played an important factor in picking JJM to start. Start incorporating more RPOs, designated QB runs, etc

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

@WessieWesticles @BobbySkinner_ Runyans contract should not prevent things

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

Ok fine, I'm all in on trading for Quentin Nelson. You convinced me @BobbySkinner_

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

@BobbySkinner_ @football_grump Grump knows he has my heart

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

@Seamus_the_pres Not to mention a crazy lack of transparency. No mention prior to the game. Going from SVT to DVT to Pulm embolism is a big deal

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

Pretty shocked the NFL found no wrongdoing by the Eagles. I cannot fathom a situation where multiple things did not go wrong.

Teams have been fined and docked draft picks for much smaller infractions than this appears to be.

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

If he was told to stay awake, he prob shouldn't have been playing. If the SuVT migrated into DVT, there's a better than average chance that it was near enough to a deep vein junction to probably not be playing. Probably should have been on anticoagulation prior to going on a flight. Probably should have had another ultrasound prior to the flight.

The IRONY is that Jesse Morse promoted a notion that a testosterone level of 500 was somehow low, and that the optimal range for men was at 600-900.

There is no evidence behind this. Big trials showed no benefit to increasing T if levels were normal. The American Urological Association, the Endocrine Society and multiple European societies all agree.

One size, of course, doesn't fit everybody, but this type of shit may encourage people to go out and try testosterone when they may not need it. And guess what risk is associated with testosterone therapy? BLOOD CLOTS

He didn't tell yall that in this tweet though:

Follow the evidence, not someone trying to sell you something.

There’s just some things you need to keep to yourself and get off your agenda.

Go sell your peptides to a 20yr old who needs to look max or whatever it’s called @DrJesseMorse

Pack it up buddy. Your days are done. Save face while you can before these Twitter feens go after your practice.

[KSIXI @KSIXI]

God damn, Harbaugh doesn't mess around. Najee gone.

[Dan Schneier @DanSchneierNFL]

It's such a joy to watch Arvell Reese play football
