If you haven’t been inspired by the overall improvement from the New York Giants defense since the second half of week three, I’m not quite sure what you’re watching. Sure, the unit got smoked against the Vikings, and has had other moments of weakness- that’s still nothing compared to the first 2.5 games.
Defensive coordinator James Bettcher- someone I’ve been extremely hard on during his tenure- deserves credit for trying different combinations of players and coaxing results out of his very young defense. With that said, it’s puzzling as to why rookies Corey Ballentine and Julian Love cannot find their way onto the field.
