Spags, Giants defense still have work to do

Steve Spagnuolo still has work to do on defense, but the Cowboys game showed him a strength to build upon

We got our first look at the newest iteration of the New York Giants' defense last Sunday, and the results were decidedly mixed.

They definitely did some good things against the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants knocked the ball out of Cowboys' hands four different times, coming away with two forced fumbles -- one of which was recovered by Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie -- and a pair of interceptions. The fact Rodgers-Cromartie returned his fumble recovery for a touchdown already ties the 2015 Giants with the 2014 Giants in terms of defensive scoring.
