defense over the 2019 offseason. Or rather http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-nate-solder-jersey , stock their well-schemed defense with the talent it needs to perform up to expectations. The most obvious area of need on the defense has been the pass rush. The Giants spent the first half of the season with one of the (if not the) worst pass rushes in the NFL. The obvious place to improve the front seven is with an EDGE rusher. However, the Giants would do well to consider pass rushers wherever they may find them. The Giants were spotted talking to Kansas Jayhawks defensive tackle Daniel Wise at Shrine Game practices this week, so it might behooves us to take a closer look the underrated interior pass rusher.MeasurablesHeight: 6-foot-3Weight: 290 poundsProsAthletic penetrating defensive tackle.Good first step, firing out of his stance with good pad level.Scheme diverse. Played 7, 5, and 3-techniques, as well as nose tackle.Shows both arm-over and rip moves. Flashes some upper and lower-body flexibility. Consistently productive. ConsNeeds to add strength and power for the next level.Can lose track of the play. Occasionally struggles to disengage from blockers.Numbers of noteStats from Dan PizzutaAll five of Wise’s sacks were solo, which tied for tenth among all NCAA defensive tackles, but he had just 18 total pressures, which tied for 48th per Sports Info Solutions.Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying “Daniel Wise/DT/Kansas: The Jayhawks kept the game close but eventually succumbed to West Virginia in a 16-point loss. Despite this, Wise had a monster game which included five tackles (3.5 for loss) and two sacks against the usually reliable Moutaineers offensive line. Wise was unstoppable most of the game and beat blockers off the snap, showed explosion to the action with a great closing burst and easily moved laterally in pursuit of ball carriers. He’s a terrific three-technique prospect who could end up as a second-day pick.” - Tony Pauline (DraftAnalyst - Week 6 risers/sliders) Does He Fit The Giants?Given how the Giants move freely between odd and even fronts (generally speaking, three or four down linemen), Wise’s versatility would be an asset for their defense. He likely wouldn’t spend much (if any) time lined up as a 7-technique in a four-man front (as he did for Kansas), but his quickness and hands make him a handful for interior blockers. He also has some ability to stand up blockers and either two-gap or hold double teams, which is an asset as well. Over the last two seasons, Wise has racked up 87 total tackles, 28.0 tackles for a loss Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey , and 10 sacks, as well as a pair of forced fumbles. Given that he has been the biggest threat on the Kansas defense, that is good production for a defensive tackle. In part because Kansas hasn’t done much winning lately, Wise isn’t very widely known. However, his versatility and pass rushing potential make him an interesting prospect for the Giants if he slips out of the third round. The New York Giants have tallied up the losses so far this season, but the 23-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night might be the most memorable. There weren’t as many big swing plays as there were the past couple weeks, but there were more than a few that felt like it.These are some of the most important plays of the game by Win Probability Added (WPA) and Expected Points Added (EPA). Explainers here (WPA) and here (EPA). Both WPA and EPA presented from the perspective of the offense.Ridley gets free - 6:37, first quarterEPA: 2.8 | WPA: 8.3 percentThe first quarter ended 0-0, something that wasn’t expected. But the Giants had a chance to stop the Falcons pretty early on deep in their own territory. Atlanta faced a second-and-15 from its own 10-yard line. Calvin Ridley lined up to the outside left and broke a slant in front of Janoris Jenkins, who was lined up way off the line. After the catch, Ridley was able to move around a charging Curtis Riley to gain 19 yards on the play. Instead of facing a third down deep in their own territory, the Falcons had a new set of downs at a safer part of the field.Sanu in the zone - 4:39, first quarterEPA: 3.3 | WPA: 9.7 percentLater in the same drive, the Giants had another chance to stop the Falcons. Atlanta had a third-and-13 from its own 26 thanks to a first down sack of Matt Ryan by B.W. Webb. Mohamed Sanu was split to the right with Ridley. At the snap, Sanu ran a crossing route straight through the Giants zone. Alec Ogletree was focused on running back Ito Smith, even though fellow linebacker Tae Davis had him picked up. With his eyes elsewhere, Ogletree allowed Sanu to run right by him and pick up a first down.Atlanta didn’t score on the drive, but they eventually reached midfield. This third down conversion helped flip field position and the Giants started their next drive at their own 11 after forcing a punt after having two opportunities to stop the Falcons early and deep in their own zone.Deep to Marvin Hall - 5:00 Janoris Jenkins Jersey , second quarterEPA: 4.33 | WPA: 15.1 percentOne of the concerns coming into the game was whether the Giants had enough depth in the secondary to deal with the Falcons’ weapons. Even when considering that, Marvin Hall wasn’t what came to mind with those concerns. But he scored the first touchdown of the game. He was lined up wide against Janoris Jenkins, whose technique makes it look like he thought he would have safety help over the top, but once Curtis Riley broke to cover tight end Austin Hooper, Jenkins had little chance to catch up to Hall in the open field.A Sterling grab - 13:46, third quarterEPA: 4.74 | WPA: 16.1 percentThe Giants’ longest play of the game came at the start of the third quarter. Sterling Shepard was the inside man in a trips bunch to the right. He released downfield and beat cornerback Robert Alford across the middle. Shepard ran for 37 yards after the catch and ended up with a 53-yard gain on a third-and-8.On that drive, the Giants would get down to the 1-yard line but failed on an incomplete pass to Scott Simonson on a play designed for Odell Beckham that also had Rhett Ellison wide open in the back of the end zone.Ito on empty - 8:23, third quarterEPA: 3.45 | WPA: 11.3 percentFrom their own 20, the Falcons went empty on a third-and-8. The Giants sent a blitz and that allowed running back Ito Smith to have a wide open middle of the field from the outside for a catch and run and 20-yard gain to the 40.This is a good example of the ability to draw up third and long plays that get a running back into space when pressure is absolutely going to come that don’t involve a ****down behind the line of scrimmage. It also helped the Falcons continue to drive down the field until...Jenkins forced a fumble - 5:48, third quarterEPA: minus-4.5 | WPA: minus-9.8 percentJanoris Jenkins didn’t have a great night — he hasn’t had a great season — but his recovery and aggressiveness on this play should be commended. Julio Jones caught a ball in front on Jenkins, but the cornerback got his hands in and eventually knocked the ball loose.The play was originally called incomplete on the field — which still would have been a good play by Jenkins — but Pat Shurmur challenged and the play was overturned to a catch and fumble. This was a perfect high-upside challenge for Shurmur. The potential loss of a timeout in a close game was well worth the opportunity at a turnover to keep the Falcons out of the red zone. A deep shot to Beckham? - 5:39, third quarterEPA: 3.64 | WPA: 12.7 percentOn the first play of the next drive, the Giants took a shot downfield to Odell Beckham — and it worked. The Giants ran play-action, Eli Manning was able to step up in the pocket, and Beckham fought through an early defensive hold to get open down the sideline for a 51-yard gain.We should also note that at this point in the game Saquon Barkley had 11 carries for 22 yards and play-action still worked quite well.The Giants’ drive stalled when it got to the Atlanta 18 and they settled for a field goal to make the score 10-6 Falcons.Blah to Barkley - 13:45, fourth quarterEPA: minus-3.1 | WPA: minus-9.4 percentOn the surface, this play was another gross third down throw to Barkley behind the line of scrimmage — an 8-yard loss on third-and-2. While that is true, there was a full comedy of errors to make this play so disastrous. First Kerry Wynn Jersey , Chad Wheeler whiffed on a cut block against Brooks Reed (50), who eventually becomes the first person to meet Barkley in the backfield. But also, new center Spencer Pulley stumbled off the snap and then ran into Sterling Shepard, which prevented the center from getting into the open field and making a block. So, instead of Barkley having to potentially make one defender miss, there were three waiting for him as soon as he caught the ball. Coleman has a hole - 7:55, fourth quarterEPA: 3.4 | WPA: 5.2 percentAtlanta took a two-score lead in the middle of the fourth quarter and it came on an aggressive defensive play from the Giants. The Falcons faced a third-and-1 from the Giants’ 30 and the Giants lined up with an 8-man box. Landon Collins rushed off what would be the backside on the run play and the two linebackers overpursued with the movement of the offensive line, which created an open cutback lane for Tevin Coleman. Curtis Riley, the last line of defense as a single-high safety, had stepped over to the other side of the field where Julio Jones lined up. That made him a step behind to catch up with Coleman and a bad angle on top of that left no chance to take down the running back before he got in the end zone.Atlanta had a 93.2 percent win probability with the score.Ellison gets close - 1:11, fourth quarterEPA: 2.8 | WPA: 0.9 percentThe Giants tried to make it close at the end. With just over a minute left, down by 11, the Giants got the ball to the 1-yard line on a 7-yard pass to Rhett Ellison on a third-and-4. With no timeouts left the Giants had to hurry up and they rushed to the line but got stuffed on two straight sneak attempts. They eventually scored on third down but by then too much time had already come off the clock.As poor as the sneak attempts were, the Giants were already facing long odds to score and get the ball back. After Ellison’s reception, Atlanta still had a 96.7 percent win probability.
