Big Blue View on Isaiah Likely
From the article
McCarthy would lead a six-play, 52-yard drive that resulted in a 5-yard Tyrone Tracy Jr. touchdown, followed by a 2-point conversion to Isaiah Likely... McCarthy does an excellent job putting the ball high and inside, away from the defensive leverage, letting the tight end maximize his catch radius and secure the ball. This was a very difficult catch to make, but Likely secures it through contact.
STACKED’s take
Likely scored 2-point conversion and caught 20-yard completion in clutch situations.
Likely was featured as a key target in McCarthy's drive, scoring on a 2-point conversion and recording multiple completions in high-leverage situations. He was isolated against safety Justin Reid (21) with outside leverage and made a very difficult catch through contact on a high-and-inside throw where McCarthy maximized his catch radius; he was involved in the formation on the 46-yard Nabers strike as the No. 3 to the far side running a deep horizontal crosser against Cover-4; and he caught a 20-yard completion with :40 left in the game on a perfectly layered throw over the middle hook defender in a high-level situation that gave the Giants a realistic shot at a comeback. The analysis credits Likely with securing difficult catches and being a focal point of McCarthy's offensive scheme.
