With the New York Giants ready for the start of training camp, Big Blue’s defense figures to be harboring the most noise in the coming weeks. Understandably so, for beyond what unfolds at the quarterback position, which could change noticeably as the season progresses, the Giants have made it clear that they intend to stake their claim in the league this year, relying on the strength of their defense. Led by the vast offseason improvements that general manager Joe Schoen made to the defensive front to help spur their pass rush and run response, the Giants are expected to be better and repeat as one of the top pressure units, a trajectory they were already heading in before key injuries soiled the journey last year. New York still finished 13th in the league in pass rush win rate (41%) and sixth in total sacks (45) despite their historically bad record last season.
