Olivier Vernon Going Stride-For-Stride 30 Yards Deep In Coverage On Browns TE David Njoku Last Night Is Football Porn For Giants Fans
I think all Giants fans can agree that last night was a little bit of a traumatic experience. Yeah all the news about Odell’s injury has been good so far (he goes in for an MRI this afternoon). But I think we all needed a highlight like that to put us back in our happy place, even if it triggered some serious PTSD of when Justin Tuck used to drop into coverage.
Meanwhile, can you imagine being DeShone Kizer? That clip had to be his Welcome to the NFL moment. Oh my physical freak of a tight end is in one-on-one coverage against a DE? If you get that matchup in college, there’s a good chance that play is ending in 6 points for the offense. But in the NFL, you have human glitches like Olivier Vernon that can lead the league in pressures from the right side over the last two seasons
Yet still keep pace with a fresh-legged rookie for 30 yards and almost come down with a pick. Fucking bananas. I have to give a quick shout out to the Dolphins front office for deciding to sign Mario Williams and let Vernon go last year. It may have taken a boatload of the Maras money to get him, but so far he is worth every penny and a big reason Jerry Reese’s hot seat is slowly turning into a cool throne.
Oh yeah and if that wasn’t enough, The French Connection of Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul apparently practiced on setting each other up for interceptions during the offseason, which is like the raptors learning how to open doors in Jurassic Park.
Add in Snacks in the middle to go with a ridiculous secondary and the annual Sunday night kickoff to the season in Dallas cannot get here soon enough.
