After the New York Giants’ frustrating loss to Washington, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen on Thursday acknowledged key adjustments that he should have made, particularly when it came to containing quarterback Jayden Daniels.
Daniels, known for his dual-threat capabilities, consistently found ways to extend plays with his legs. Bowen, reflecting on the game, admitted the team should have assigned a spy to limit Daniels’ mobility.
“Looking back, we should’ve put more focus on Daniels,” Bowen said. “He’s a dynamic player, and giving him that much space to work with was a mistake. We needed to spy him, keep him under control.
