James Bettcher sets high bar for Giants' defense

Someone tried to compliment James Bettcher for his defense that allowed only two passes of 20 yards or more in Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars. He was having none of that.

“Shoot, we don’t want any passes of 20 yards or more,” the defensive coordinator said. “That’s what I would say to our guys.”

And that’s the tone Bettcher seems to be setting with them, too. Coming off an impressive performance against the Jaguars, allowing just one offensive touchdown and not only shutting them out but shutting them down in the second half, Bettcher said he’s pleased with the progress.
