The New York Giants are looking to re-create their identity on defense, despite having a top 10 unit in points allowed per game last season thanks to the emergence of Patrick Graham and the 2020 free-agency class. The acquisitions of James Bradberry, Blake Martinez, and Logan Ryan proved to be significant, but the defense is not done elevating their game, as they brought in former Tennessee corner Adoree Jackson and drafted a bevy of pass rushers.
We should expect a more creative defensive scheme next season, relying on man coverage and heavy blitz packages — Graham’s roots.
