Steve Spagnuolo has a reputation as a defensive coordinator who not only likes to blitz but develop crazy, unexpected ones. He comes from the old Jim Johnson coaching tree in Philadelphia and has spent his career sending linebackers and safeties and corners at quarterbacks.
"Not so much this year, though," he said with a wink.
The Giants have been more reserved than many people thought they would be when Spagnuolo took over. It's shown up in some of the stats -- the Giants are last in the NFL in sacks with just nine through nine games -- but it seems something that the defensive coordinator is comfortable with.
