The New York Giants pass rush has been nonexistent for the past several years. Last season their 30 total sacks were tied for 30th in the NFL, and in 2017 their 27 sacks were tied for 29th in the league. Remember, this was with Olivier Vernon who is now a Cleveland Brown.
This is a far cry from the last two Super Bowl teams where the Giants had multiple elite pass rushers on the field together. Names like Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Jason Pierre-Paul struck fear into opposing offenses.
Based on numerous reports, Giants general manager wants to build a defense that mirrors the two recent Super Bowl teams.
