James Bettcher’s Giants defense was supposed to feature exotic blitzes and aggressive schemes — unpredictability that players were raving about in the spring and summer. That has yet to be the case, but there is a reason for that.
“Every time you start over and you’re putting a scheme in, you never go to ‘Z’ before you hit ‘A,’ ” the first-year defensive coordinator said Friday before practice.
Bettcher said it is a matter of building the defense, getting everyone familiar with his system, before it gets more complicated.
