SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Criticism for Bowen from a former player, praise from a new player. Go figure.

The first thing I think when I hear that is run D. The Giants seemingly had good run personnel on the field under Wink but they'd get gashed. Thinking back, a lack of cohesiveness between interior & exterior would explain things.

The other thing I think about is "stunts and twists". I haven't seen the Giants utilize these as effectively as other team's lately. JPP used to be really good at it. In a recent interview with Burns, he lit up talking up about Dex. "When I'm rushing with Dex, I got a plan." He's so dominant a smart player can feast off the attention he gets. 

If you marry that to what we're hearing with DT/DE cohesiveness, it starts to paint a picture. These 2 in a T/E stunt can be a nightmare.

They've also apparently shown a NASCAR package with Thibs & Ojulari at DE and Dex & Burns at DT. You can run some nasty twists and stunts from that alignment, too. Exploit the carnage Dex leaves in his wake with blinding fast athletes like Burns.

After OL improvement my next priority is run defense.  I'm not sure that it's still true in the modern NFL that you have to be able to run the ball to be successful, but I definitely think it's still true that you have to be able to stop the run.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist. 

Not slowing my roll
