The New York Giants defense has not had the season it had hoped it would back in September.
Between a bevy of new players, a number of young players playing crucial roles, and some coaching mistakes, the Giants have struggled with breakdowns. There have also been positive plays and flashes of what they could be, but they haven’t been able to play at that level consistently.
Looking ahead to the Detroit Lions, James Bettcher knows his defense has to get off to a better, more consistent, start than it did against the Arizona Cardinals.
