Film breakdown: What to expect from Don “Wink” Martindale’s Giants defense

The construction of the New York Giants coaching staff isn’t quite complete, but Big Blue has signed former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale to a three-year contract to fill that role on Brian Daboll’s coaching staff.

Martindale is from the Buddy Ryan coaching tree. He was known as the Blitzing Mullett in Baltimore. He creates organized chaos with exotic pressure looks to manipulate offensive protection schemes. In certain situations, Martindale employs unique personnel packages, like his RACECAR package (four outside linebackers), to help dictate what the offense can do.
