John Schmeelk: Our player interview series on the "Giants Huddle" podcast is underway, with our defensive interviews set to begin next week. The nature of Shane Bowen's defense was a huge topic of conversation with all the defensive players I spoke to. Here was the consensus:

  • More zone with players watching and reading the quarterback on the second level.
    More two-high safety looks.
  • Fewer blitzes with more adapting the scheme to the offense lined up across from them.
  • Aggressive one-gap penetrating scheme on the defensive line while maintaining rush lane integrity.
  • Not a passive zone scheme.
  • There will be a combination of pattern match and drop zone.
  • Do not expect a lot of uncontested short passes.
  • There are man principles in many of the zone coverages.

SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Generally- I don't mean detail specific- it's exactly as I expected it would be. It does seem sensible/ well-suited to the current personnel given our early impressions.

Cheers!
