Whatever the New York Giants did last year on defense, it didn’t work. They imploded, finishing 31st in the league in total defense and having three cornerbacks suspended because of their conduct.
New general manager Dave Gettleman’s answers to last year’s problems began with a trade for middle linebacker Alec Ogletree. He was the captain for the Los Angeles Rams' defense, and he's going to be asked to do much of the same for the Giants.
“We’re very excited to have made the trade for Alec,” Gettleman said in a statement after the trade became official.
