Kyle Lauletta was fading away when he fired a pass headed to the back of the end zone, where tight end Rhett Ellison, completing his fade route, caught the ball for a touchdown. This happened the other day at Giants training camp, a nice moment for the rookie quarterback from Richmond.
Or was it?
There was an all-out blitz on the play called by James Bettcher, the defensive coordinator. “Didn’t see it,’’ Lauletta said.
At the last second, right before the snap, both inside linebackers came roaring in on Lauletta. Thankfully, this was a practice in camp and not a game, when defenders are paid to drill the quarterback, not merely pressure him.
