Steve Spagnuolo may not have been imparting direct advice to his boss, but his reflection on his own situation 10 years ago should reach head coach Ben McAdoo’s ears.
In a week when the Giants are 0-2 and McAdoo is exploring what he called potentially “drastic” changes on offense, including ceding the play-calling, Spagnuolo spoke about the 2007 Giants team that started out the same way and went on to win a Super Bowl.
At this point in 2007, Spagnuolo was a new defensive coordinator with the Giants and they had allowed 80 points in two games.
