Shane Bowen has big shoes to fill in replacing Wink Martindale as Giants defensive coordinator
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Shane Bowen is taking over as the New York Giants defensive coordinator and things are going to be different than the way Wink Martindale ran the unit the past two seasons.
Based on each man’s history, there will be less blitzing and more reliance on the front to generate a pass rush.
“I hope they see us flying around, playing with speed, playing with great effort,” Bowen said Monday after the Giants reported for the opening phase of their offseason training. “I think a physicality to our game, playing with violence, attacking the line of scrimmage, guys being fundamentally sound. Not beating ourselves. Making sure we are lined up, we are communicating, doing everything pre-snap that we need to do to put ourselves in position to make plays.”
The goal for Bowen, who spent the past three seasons as a Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator, is to improve a unit that finished in the bottom quarter of the league in both total defense and rushing defense in each of the past two seasons.
