Remember how the New York Giants offense used to live on 11-personnel?
Yeah, me too. But if last year’s numbers are any indication, the days of 11-personnel being the signature formation of the Giants’ offense are over.
According to Sharp Football Stats, the Giants ran 12-personnel (1 running back, two tight ends) on 35 percent of their offensive plays, and 11-personnel (1 running back, 1 tight end) on 38 percent of their plays.
In taking a closer look at last year’s numbers, the Giants offense was successful on 46% of the plays in which they ran 12-personnel versus 39% of the plays where they ran 11-personnel.
