The New York Giants face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Giants (1-5) are playing a superior opponent in the Panthers (3-3). New York has disappointed in every facet of the game this year, but their defense has been an extreme blunder.
The New York Giants have invested a great number of assets into their defensive line. Leonard Williams is signed to a mega-contract. Dexter Lawrence is a former first-round pick lining up opposite Williams. Despite these two great talents, the Giants’ defense has struggled mightily to stop the run this season.
Blake Martinez, a premiere run-defender and the Giants’ best linebacker, is out for the year after suffering a torn ACL in Week Three.
