New York Giants: A close look at the front-7 under James Bettcher

For the first time in over two decades, the New York Giants will play a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator James Bettcher.

Giants fans who are 35 and over will remember how dominant the Giants front seven was from the mid-80s to 1990 with Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Carl Banks, Pepper Johnson, Leonard Marshall, Gary Reasons and Erik Howard. With the exception of Carson, each player was part of both Super Bowl teams (1986, 1990 seasons).

Of course, no comparison can be made between this Giants front seven to those Super Bowl teams, but witnessing the Giants move back to a 3-4 defense will evoke some great memories for Giants fans.
