Part 5/9:
Understanding the advantages of single-high versus two-high coverage schemes is essential to comprehending the Giants' defensive strategy. Single-high coverage allows for enhanced run support, as it often requires just one safety to drop back. This frees up additional players to handle run responsibilities. However, this approach hinges on having a strong safety capable of covering deep threats, an area in which Holland excels.
The Giants' aggressive defensive style—ranking 9th in cover one utilization—will benefit greatly from Holland's speed and rangy coverage capabilities, allowing cornerbacks to play with more confidence and take calculated risks knowing they have solid support in the back.
