I don't know what sparked the last two weeks run totals (it was against Jax and NYG good defenses, but teams out of contention).
We can and should stop Henry. From there it's on the pass rush and JGruden.

The offensive line sparked it. They put it all together. PFF had them as the top ranked run blocking unit in the NFL and yielded only two pressures to the Giants.
We'll have to win at the line of scrimmage, that's where Derrick Henry has suddenly made his money. He's building up that head of steam because the line is keeping guys off of him until he's two yards past the line of scrimmage. We will have to bring our hard hats to deal with this group, this is different than shutting down Leonard Fournette whose line is just not the same caliber.
I do like our defensive line. But do I like our second level? I don't know, they need to show me they're done with fitting into the wrong gaps and stupid shit like that. Which is basically asking me to put faith in Greg Manusky and...
You know what I'm going to say.
