Actually it does somewhat. The defense can cheat a bit towards the LOS and it was clear they didn't really respect the Saints receivers. If the WRs are healthy and performing well, the defense can't do that much anymore.
But the few things we do have on offense are MVS who can get deep, a QB who throws a really good deep ball, and the starting OL back. If they were stacking the line or cheating up to stop the run they should have tried more deep balls to MVS to keep them honest even if they were not completed. Instead we ran a lot of stretch plays and end arounds that were resulting in lost yards and played right into the Giants strategy.
And even if they were cheating up or stacking the box, 2.8 YPC against a defense that bad at stopping the run is pretty bad.
