Patrick Graham said the failures of the Giants' defense through the first two games are on him.

"I’m frustrated with myself more than anything," the defensive coordinator said. "We have to do better. I have to do better. I have to do a better job."

The solution to fix it lies with him as well.

One of the best ways for that to happen would be moving away from the soft zone coverages the team has been deploying and allowing cornerbacks James Bradberry and Adoree’ Jackson to play to their strengths and press in tighter man coverage.
