Cam Skattebo's Big Time Bounce Back After Being Benched | Blue Rush

If the Giants are going to take the NFC East and they have to be able to run the football like they did in the second half and overtime and the Texans win, they're going to have to be able to do that consistently. The run design, the offensive line, and the guy carrying the swine, they all have to be in sync and they have to create the big play like they were able to do in that Texans game Well, they all deserve their flowers, but the guy who gets. Our New York Post Sports game ball is obviously Cam Skydmore. Way to get out the doghouse and to be back into the penthouse. Let's break down how the run designs, the offensive line, and, of course, the guy carrying the rock was able to be effective down in Houston. All right. All right. Let's take a look at this, man, because Skydmore had himself a day of the run game. Struggled, I don't want to necessarily say struggled, but just wasn't, it wasn't popping in the first half. Great job by Nagy, G-Roll, and those guys making the adjustments. Also, Willie Taggart making the adjustments to get some bigger runs out of these guys in the second half. This one right here, I mean, this is by design. I want to start it by showing how designed, by design, they were able to get scat. Some favorable runs or put him in favorable matchups for him to get up on safeties, get up on the third level and do what he has to do. So we saw Jameis come in, do the tush push or the Winston sneak or, you know, whatever you guys want to brand this thing. But gotcha. Let's watch the play. And then we'll bring it, we'll bring it back and we will break it down. You see everybody trying to clog up that middle for the tush push or the QB sneak. Uh-uh, they get fooled. Big play on a third and one. For this Giants offense in this run game. But here's how we do here. Because you see. Scat. Ricard. Malachi Fields. You see these guys in this inverted wishbone. As soon as Jameis snaps his football. Tucks his head to get. To try and get that first. That one yard or inches of the first yard. These guys usually come. They push. They push the pile. But nope. We're going to switch it up on you guys. Right here. You see at the snap of the football, you see all the bodies, all these interior offensive linemen go down, make it look like it's going to be that QB sneak. You see the front. It's a reduced front. These guys, these three interior defensive linemen, they're in here. They're packed to play that QB sneak. Same thing with these guys. They're in for the push to push backwards. You see space here, you see gaps here, you see favorable matchups for you to get blockers on second, I guess we can call them second level defenders here and open up a running lane or a rush lane for scat. Great job, great call, great design. You go down with Andrew Thomas here, 78, you see him block down, you see Manhurts. Chris Manhurst kind of helped check for the double team to get up to that second level. So now you've got this guy already crashing down to try and stop any play that goes through this gap or this QB sneak makes Andrew Thomas' job a little bit easier for him. Let me wash him down. Same thing with Manhurst. You help with the inside hand with this left hand. Now you get up to the second level to seal, Seal, seal this. Seal off this lane here, seal off any coverage here. So now you've got down, down, and you see the lane starting to form now. Now the last piece of the puzzle, the last Infinity Stone is Project Pat or Pancake Pat going out there one on one with the corner with the little guy to kick him out. You get yourself a rushing lane that your grandmama could run through. Great job by G. Rowe, Willie Taggart, Matt Nagy, and this offensive staff to call to not only design this, but to call it in the situation, get the matchup, get the front, get the defense, the scheme that you want, and then the execution by the guys. Kick out, wall it off. Now you've got scat, untouched, going up. Let's see where that was. Let's see where the ball, the line of scrimmage is what? Right here. I don't know what number this is. Let's go. Five, ten. Ten yards before Scattebuhl is touched. And then he gets the chance to try and bully a little guy here. So, by design, that's one way that they were able to get the run game and Cam Skattebuhl going, particularly in the second half. By design. And let's watch the next play. We see it here, I believe this was the touchdown run. Touchdown run will stay in tight. You see now sometimes throughout the course of this year, these double teams, they haven't been able to manhandle and get the reach and the blocks that they want, the penetration or the push that they wanted on some of these double teams. So first by design, by play call, they got Cam, they got... Scat or Cam, they got him free. They got him going. Now the offensive line doing their job getting him going. Let's watch the play, then we break it down. Double team here. Gets up. Boom. O-line. Scat doing what he does. Get off of it. Get into the end zone. Make somebody pay. Love to see it. Love to see it. Absolutely love to see it. So let's bring it back. Bring it back and rewind. You see them in the bunch formation. This is a heavy personnel, 13 personnel, one running back, one, two, three tight ends, one wide receiver. Isaiah Likely, he's a tweener. He's a hybrid guy, but he's still a tight end. It's just he's a mismatch. Now let's watch this right side of the offensive line to start. We see the double team here. Andrew Thomas has the one-on-one double team. Hudson here, center, gets a hit. Helps this left guard here and John Runyon get control of this interior lineman. Helps him get control of the block until he now goes and climbs to the second level. Looking at it, that's a win. That's a win. That's a win. Let's bring it back. Bring it back in real line. CeCe Maonoa, you've got your one-on-one. You've got a win there. Looks like he's winning here. Maybe not getting the push that you want, but you're not getting the penetration. If you're not going to get push, you don't want any penetration. Let's watch this double team here between Jermaine Luminor and Pancake Pat. Get some. Pat actually helps seal it off, wall him off. In an ideal world, you'd want him to push this. Interior lineman, this lineman in enough to Luminor can take control of it and get the one-on-one and then Pat climbs up to the next level. Or if this guy was to come off and try and go heavy to fight this block, to fight this pin by Pancake Pat here, then Pat would take the one-on-one and Luminor climbs up to the second level. So good communication by these guys. They weren't able to get it as clean as they wanted, but hey, it is what it is. And then you see the kick out by Manhurst, but this is all Cam Scarbrough. We've seen it since Arizona State. We've seen it, him being able to run through arm tackles, and we wanted to see more. We wanted to see more of this this season from Scat. Breaking these tackles particularly on the second and third level and getting more and then you punish the little guy in the end zone and then you do what you do. So huge. So we saw one by design. Two we saw the offensive line have themselves a pretty solid rep and Cam by and because of that Cam Scarbrough was able to do what he does. Alright this one the big run at the end to set up. Motor Singletary. Motor Singletary's touchdown. Again, 13 personnel. One running back, one, two, three tight ends. Malik Nabers one-on-one or the single receiver in this. We'll watch it from the wide and then we'll watch it from the tight as well. Again, see Project Pat slamming down, blocking, blocking color, getting color. You see guys getting up, the offensive linemen getting up to the second level. Oops, we were supposed to watch it, and I was supposed to break it down. My bad. Let's watch it. Boy said, I won't fumble in that one. I won't go and fumble that one. I won't go to try and do too much and fumble that one. But quickly, let's quickly watch it, and then we'll get out of it. We'll watch it tight. Boom, block up there. Likely, get up on that third level, be able to get a block, but let's break this thing down from the tight. Let's watch the offensive line, and let's watch Scat do what he does. Offensive line, hell of a rep right here, Hog Mollies. Hell of a rep, hell of a way to get the running game going when you needed it most, and that's the second half, particularly the fourth quarter when it was time, and overtime, when it was time to win this thing. So we'll start with the right side of the line again. Pretty much the same we saw from the touchdown run. Let's double it. Let's double it. You've got the one-on-one here. You've got a double here between CeCe Malinoa and Jermaine Illuminor. You see Project Pat slamming down here. But let's, I'm doing too much. I'm talking too much. Let's watch it here. Let's watch the double team. Boom. Slam it down. Get control. Basically, everyone's just being washed. This isn't anything overly pretty. You see the stunts, you see the crashes by these defensive line, they're crashing hard to the inside, you're actually doing the job for these offensive linemen and all they're having to do is just gain, get that leverage and wash you down, same thing here, wash you I'm looking, I'm helping, I'm seeing what's what, and then I climb up to the second level. Same thing here. He's just washing these guys down. Now Jermaine Illuminor gets up clean to this second level one. I believe Al Shazier right here gets body on body, and Cam reads that. Now it's about the vision of the running back. What do you see? Boom. Great job, Illuminor. Didn't have to do too much. Let's go. Your running back make you right. And you see because Pat Ricard is able to slam and wash down color, which was a defensive lineman here. Illuminor is able to get up to that second level. Likely is here able to get up to that third level. Look at the hole. Again, it's a hole that your mama and your grandmama could run through. And then Scat just doing what he does. Breaks the angle. Needs to hold on to the football, does exactly what the play was designed to do, how the lineman blocked and schemed it, and then it was on Scat to finish the run. I think we're going to see a lot of the 13 personnel for the Giants going forward. We're able to see them get, or we're able to see them make adjustments at halftime and get more out of the running game in one half of football or an extra half of football than we've probably been able to see on a consistent basis throughout the course of the year. But Cam Scadaboo showing that he's able to... Run through arm tackles, showing he's able to read blocks, read schemes, and hit holes, get to the second level, make a guy miss or two, and get into the third level. The Giants offense needed to put that on tape in terms of explosive runs, and he was the guy that was able to do that. So run design, offensive line, and the guys carrying the swine, they deserve their flowers when our game ball goes to Cam Scatta
