Giants vs. Ravens: When the Giants have the ball
Photo by Todd Olszewski/Getty ImagesThe New York Giants will face first-year Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald in an important Week 6 matchup at home. Macdonald was on the defensive coaching staff for the Ravens from 2014-2020 before assuming the defensive coordinator role at the University of Michigan.
Giants’ current defensive coordinator Wink Martindale had Macdonald on his staff as his linebacker coach. Injuries, specifically in the secondary, affected Martindale’s final season in Baltimore; the defense did not live up to its elite standards without the reliable backend pieces. However, Martindale still ranked sixth in blitz percentage.
