The New York modus operandi is to stop offenses cold on first and second down, setting up challenging third-and-long conversion situations. This is when the Giants unleash hell, so to speak. New York leads the league in the sack department, having already registered 30 and counting.
Clearly, the Baltimore offense does not want to be in too many third-and-long situations against this defense. Not only is the New York front four able to pin its ears back and beat their blockers one-on-one, but defensive coordinator Steve Spagnoulo uses an assortment of confounding blitz packages for the quarterback to wrestle with.
The Ravens will need to emphasize efficiency on offense. To be efficient, the pass offense should operate out of its run-heavy, base packages. In other words, there should not be too many instances when the formations are spread out, with three and four receivers on the field, leaving the line vulnerable to handle their blocks without help from extra blockers.
