The reality of the Giants’ defense is simple — they’re unproven and young. The youthful part is a good thing, but it will take some time for them to adjust to the level of play in the NFL.
Surprisingly enough, it seems as if several rookies have already begun to elevate their game, ask Wisoncon product, Ryan Connelly. The former Badger has already stolen veteran BJ Goodson’s spot on the defense, considering he’s been working with the second and third-string defensive units.
Alec Ogletree and Tae Davis will slide into their normal starting roles, but Goodson will be left for the dogs if he doesn’t make an impact against the New England Patriots in the Giants’ final preseason game of the year on Thursday.
