Steve Spagnuolo wanted the Giants' defense to play faster and more aggressively. Did they deliver?
After a disappointing showing against the Cincinnati Bengals, the New York Giants were looking for improvement from their defense Saturday night. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said after the first preseason game that he wanted the defense to play faster, more physical, and more aggressively in the coming weeks.
Some of the Giants clearly took that message to heart as they prepared to play the Jacksonville Jaguars, while others have yet to take a step forward.
Among the starters, the linebacking corps stood out as one of the most dynamic units on the field.
