"The Giants have scored at least 30 points in three games this season - as many as they've had the last two seasons combined - but are 1-2 in those games. "Everyone's got to look at the man in the mirror," linebacker Bobby Okereke said Monday. "It's easier to point the finger but from a team perspective, it's better to point the thumb and figure out what I can do better as an individual. So, that's what we're all about to do.""
"By bringing Bowen back, he put trust in him to fix things. That trust hasn't yielded many positives. Yes, the defense played mostly well in a loss to the Commanders. Brian Burns has played at an elite level with nine sacks, tied for the NFL lead. They also held the Saints to one offensive touchdown, even if it was an 87-yard catch-and-run."
The Giants' defense remains inconsistent seven games into the season, producing few signs of real improvement and continuing to struggle late in games. Coach Brian Daboll retained defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, avoiding staff changes that would further reflect on his decision-making. Players have struggled with execution and are being asked to take personal accountability. The offense has scored 30 or more points in three games but the team is 1-2 in those contests. Brian Burns has excelled with nine sacks, and the defense has shown isolated strong performances but no clear, dramatic turnaround.
