Big Blue View on Patrick Ricard

Ricard's 22-play usage (12 runs, 10 between tackles) signals predictable run-heavy scheme.

Fullback Patrick Ricard was on the field for 22 plays against the Commanders (two of which were penalties), with 12 of the remaining 20 plays being runs and 10 of those runs coming between the tackles. The source notes that Ricard's heavy usage in condensed, run-heavy formations signals the Giants' intentions to the defense, making it easier for Washington to defend. The Giants used motion and pulling blockers to try to manipulate the defense, but the play design made it too easy for the Commanders' defense and too hard on the Giants' offense.
