Bengals 23, Giants 10: What we learned about the Giants' defense

There has been much speculation about what Steve Spagnuolo's new defense would look like in 2015. Fans of the New York Giants got their first look at the remodeled group Friday evening.

Taken as a whole, the early indications are that if this is the "vanilla" form of Spags' defense, the high-test version will be very aggressive. Even though it was only the first preseason game the Giants were bringing pressure with both linebacker and defensive back blitzes as well as utilizing stunts along the defensive line .

Overall the Giants' defense scored two sacks and an interception on the evening, with Damontre Moore and Cullen Jenkins meeting at the quarterback for a sack, and safety Cooper Taylor notching a sack as well.
