CBS Sports Analyst Dan Schneier predicts some players to break out this year in Garrett's Offense.
"Garrett’s offense has been described as tight end-friendly and the numbers support this. This is great news for Engram. Specifically, tight ends in Garrett’s offense are asked to do a little bit more in the vertical passing game up the seams. This is a key aspect of Engram’s game that has oddly been underutilized during the first three seasons of his career with multiple coordinators. At the 2017 combine, Engram ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at 234 pounds. He also had a 36-inch vertical jump. More importantly, Engram hit on several long touchdowns up the seam during his career at Ole Miss."
Hernandez finished No. 28 overall and it gets worse when you factor in guards who played approximately 50% of their team’s snaps. And per my own evaluation of the All-22 coaches film of every snap Hernandez has played with the Giants, the regression was real. The question becomes why did Hernandez regress and is it a sign of things to come or just a blip in the career of an impressive young lineman.
The massive regression of left tackle Nate Solder (who he plays alongside) may have played a factor, but ultimately, I think the biggest factor is that Hernandez has been blocking in a scheme that doesn’t fit his skill set. If you look back over his first two seasons with the Giants, Hernandez’s best snaps came when Shurmur (very rarely) called for a power or gap-blocking run play. When the Giants pulled Hernandez, he made defenders in space pay for it and opened up big holes for Saquon Barkley more times than not. The good news is that the Giants are expected to shift their blocking scheme and utilize more power and gap plays under Garrett and offensive line coach Marc Colombo."
