Martin, Mauro help New York Giants’ defensive transition

Big Blue’s new defensive coordinator led the Cardinals to three consecutive top six finishes in terms of yards allowed during his three-year stint as Arizona’s defensive coordinator.

Bettcher brings a 3-4 base defense with him to New York. Versatility is the key to his defense. The New York Giants will rotate from a 3-4 to a 4-3 to a nickel defense throughout the course of a game. General manager Dave Gettleman is making sure Bettcher has the right players in place.

The G-Men have added two of Bettcher’s former players over the past week, signing outside linebacker Kareem Martin and defensive end Josh Mauro.
