The New York Giants are probably getting pretty tired of facing good defenses. This week they face the 3-3 Carolina Panthers, who currently rank eighth in points allowed and soxth in yards allowed.
That’s not great news for a Giants offense that’s trying to figure out how to overcome its own injury woes as well as the opposing defense.
Second-year defensive coordinator Phil Snow has his defense playing very well. While the Panthers’ offense has stumbled (badly) in recent weeks, the defense is playing fast and flying around the field. There was likely some trepidation regarding Snow as he came from Baylor — the Big 12 is hardly known for its defense — however that’s prepared him for many of the concepts now taking the rest of the NFL by storm.
