Side note - shout out to Tony Romo (who actually studies film) on mentioning Rankins presence in the trenches. It doesn't show on the stat sheet, but he's been very good in New Orleans.

You could see big Rankins pushing his guy back collapsing the pocket on many occasions yesterday.

there was a play where one of the olineman went flying, I re-winded back to see who it was. Rankins literally tossed the guy

Any idea when that happened? I'd love to see that when I rewatch the game!

Want to say it was in the last half of the 4th. Not 100%.
When I read about the Giants Oline I was hoping the pressure would result in a pick or two. I think Williams especially just needs a confidence boost. The forced fumble by PJ was nice to see. It was even better to see them not doing the damn end zone celebration.
