The Giants brought defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo back to the team this offseason after watching the unit slip under Perry Fewell while going 13-19 over the last two years.
Spagnuolo’s earned a Super Bowl ring during his previous stint with the Giants when he put together a defense that stifled a previously undefeated Patriots team in Arizona after the 2007 season. The team went 12-4 behind a similarly productive unit the next year before Spagnuolo left to become the Rams head coach, although the coordinator said over the weekend that his return doesn’t ensure the same kind of results.
