If the Giants’ season continues to go like it started yesterday, defensive coordinator James Bettcher will be first up on the chopping block – and he deserves to be. Of all the pathetic performances we’ve seen out of Big Blue defenses over the past few years, this one may top them all. Even though this isn’t an episode of First Take, Bettcher finds himself squarely on the hot seat.
For a coach that has been praised as a ‘blitzing savant’ (insert air quotes), Bettcher has shown absolutely zero ability to generate any sort of pass-rush in his 17 games as the head man in charge of the defense.
