The New York Giants are making significant strides with their defensive roster, thanks to powerful acquisitions orchestrated by General Manager Joe Schoen. Aiming for an elite pass rush, the Giants have extended defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and traded for edge rusher Brian Burns. Additionally, the team has utilized first-round draft picks to secure talents like Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter, creating a dynamic mix of athleticism and technique on the field.

Despite last season’s shortcomings, where their pass rush struggled due to a struggling offense and inconsistency in the back seven, the Giants are poised for a turnaround with this revamped defense. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen is expected to implement strategies that capitalize on the skills of their newly acquired and extended players, allowing for more pressure on opposing offenses while solidifying their defensive line.
