Throughout the 2018 offseason, fans and the media alike looked at the New York Gants new-look defense and wondered from where they would get their pass rush.
It was understood that James Bettcher likes to blitz and would be aggressive in sending pressure from a variety of sources. However, even the most blitz-happy defense still needs to be able to generate a pass rush without having to scheme it into existence. The Giants let linebacker Devon Kennard leave in free agency, traded Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March, and cut Romeo Okwara in the final cutdown to 53.
