New York Giants’ DC James Bettcher Opens Up About Defensive Schemes

The New York Giants hired former Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator James Bettcher to fill the shoes of Steve Spagnuolo after the lost 2017 season.

Bettcher has entered the organization with a new scheme, new expectations, and a better history. Bettcher has produced one of the NFL’s most feared defenses on a yearly basis, and it all revolves around being relentless.

“The game is about playing hard, physical and smart. Our guys are going to be relentless.”

“I can talk until I’m blue in the face about playing hard, smart and physical, but it’s up to players to hold each other accountable and believe in it.
