There are film reviews, like the one I did after the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. Then there are film studies from analysts who can really break down the how and why things worked or didn’t work, and the play of individual players.

One of those guys is Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) on Twitter.

We knew from watching the game that both the Giants’ offensive and defensive lines held up well. The series of GIFs below from Thorn indicates how they did it and, especially on defense, which players were dominant.

On offense, watch the work from the guys in the middle. Also, as we pointed out the other day, look at the movement from the linemen and the tight ends. This is not going to be a power, straight-ahead blocking offensive line. It’s a pulling, angle-blocking, create confusion on where the blockers are coming from offensive line.

On defense, all I can say is Johnathan Hankins and Damon Harrison. Wow!

Offense

Well, the #Giants OL and DL should give themselves a pat on the back after what they did to the Cowboys at their place. That was their game. — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

The Cowboys don't want no more. When an OL imposes their will and closes out a game >>> #Giants @MNewhouse74 pic.twitter.com/GW28wx6XWS — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

This 4th quarter performance by the #Giants OL is so impressive. They took control pic.twitter.com/BqciGQN0gU — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

Such a nice job here by the #Giants RG/C/LG in the 4th quarter pic.twitter.com/np7NHFKU9i — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

The #Giants OL imposed their will in the 4th quarter to win the game. Impressive all the way around pic.twitter.com/T0Y23ohUWf — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

Defense

Mostly Johnathan Hankins and Damon Harrison doing work.

Hankins with the push/pull technique and pressure on the QB. This OL/DL battle was fun! pic.twitter.com/JNOSvnNUi4 — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016

The #Giants DL is going to be a problem this year, esp vs. the run w/Hankins & Snacks (@BigDame900) in the middle pic.twitter.com/hhWZvbaL1t — Brandon Thorn (@VeteranScout) September 13, 2016
