After being grilled about his exchange of text messages with Jason Pierre-Paul, defensive line coach Robert Nunn was asked recently if the Giants would be better against the run in 2015 than in 2014, when they ranked 30th in the league.
There has been plenty of talk about the Giants’ pass rush suffering from the loss of Pierre-Paul, who is out indefinitely after having his right index finger amputated following a July 4 fireworks accident. But the impact his absence will have on the run defense could be just as devastating. The answers won’t start to come until the defense reacts to live game action.
