Not too long ago, the woes of the New York Giants‘ defense could be primarily attributed to the team’s lackluster pass rush. Over the past couple of seasons, that weakness was turned into a strength.
With second-year EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux holding down one side and Azeez Ojulari opposite from him, the outside of the line is now as opposing as what the Giants have in store up the middle. However, the problem has not been solved completely, as a lack of depth and experience may cause New York’s edge-rushing woes to continue.
The importance of Thibodeaux and Ojulari on the Giants’ defense
Last season, Ojulari missed 10 games with injuries while Thibedeaux missed three games with injuries, leaving the edge as a weaker unit once again.
