The New York Giants are redefining their identity after a dismal 3-14 season last year. This shift is primarily evident in their focus on a robust defense, particularly through a draft that prioritized defensive players. Key acquisitions like Abdul Carter and Darius Alexander strengthen their front seven, transforming the team into a defense-first operation. General manager Joe Schoen clarified that while the changes were not pre-planned, they were intentional about selecting players that matched the desired mentality and depth in their defensive lineup.
"The team had no identity last year on the way to a 3-14 season. That appears to have changed this offseason, punctuated by a defensive-line-heavy draft."
"It lined up that way, and again, I feel good about the guys that we added because of that... It was a conscious effort to bring in the right type of guys with the right mentality."
