Alec Ogletree’s confidence in the Giants’ defense is not shaken, even after Sunday’s dreadful performance against the Cowboys. He still thinks they can be a top 10 unit in the NFL, even though by some metrics they were dead last following the weekend’s games.
But Ogletree is a veteran. He’s seen enough football to know how these things work after a Week 1 disappointment, and more importantly, to know how to handle it. He basically went down the quotability checklist that is issued to nearly every player after a certain amount of time in the league while he was on a conference call on Monday.
