It was clear throughout the 2018 NFL season the defense of the New York Giants was a problem. It was a unit that ranked 26th in yards allowed per drive, 27th in points allowed per drive, and 24th in defensive DVOA. Much of the focus on what the Giants need to upgrade this offseason has been on the defensive side of the ball and much of that focus has fallen on the pass rush.
Almost all of that is due to the lack of sacks the defense created during the regular season. With just 30 total sacks, the Giants tied for 30th in the league.
