Ray-Ray Armstrong pushing for bigger role on Giants’ defense

B.J. Goodson and Alec Ogletree give the New York Giants a solid set of starting inside linebackers, at least against the run.

There have been two concerns about the inside linebacker position. The depth behind Goodson and Ogletree, and the pass coverage of those two linebackers. Ogletree has been beaten for long completions in each of the Giants first two preseason games. Coverage was a concern for him coming out of college three seasons ago and per Football Outsiders data uncovered by our Dan Pizzuta it remains so.

Enter Ray-Ray Armstrong, who could be the answer to both concerns.
