How Shane Bowen’s Giants defense will differ from Wink Martindale’s
NY Post
There has been so much verbiage and conversation about what the Giants will not be on defense in 2024.
They did not exactly surface as a dominating unit the past two years, but there was an established identity — created by coordinator Wink Martindale’s relentless inclination and dependency on creating discomfort with pressure packages filled with blitz after blitz.
That will not be the Giants’ calling card now that Shane Bowen is in charge of the defense.
All spring, that has been an acknowledged change as Bowen implemented the system he utilized the past three seasons with the Titans.
So much, that when the Giants reconvene July 23 for training camp, it would not be such a shock to see Bowen distribute “Less Aggressive’’ T-shirts to the guys who get paid to play on defense.
One look at Bowen’s expression when this scenario was broached to him made it clear there will be no such shirts printed up.
