New York Giants: Is Oshane Ximines the key to a successful pass rush in 2020?

The New York Giants are taking an interesting approach toward their pass rush scheme in 2020. New defensive coordinator Patrick Graham loves to blitz, especially on third down when he blitzed 41% of the time in 2019 with the Miami Dolphins.

I fully anticipate a schemed pass rush, including safeties and linebackers. Second-round pick Xavier McKinney will be active moving up to the line of scrimmage alongside Jabrill Peppers, who is cemented at strong safety. Linebackers Blake Martinez and Ryan Connelly should be frequent fliers on delayed blitzes as well.

However, the outside linebacker position could be tumultuous in 2020.
