Xs and Os Deep Dive into Patrick Graham's Blitz...
Dan and Nick dive deep -- I mean really deep into the Xs and Os of what the expectation for first-year defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's defense should be. They take a look at trends from his defense as it pertains to when he blitzes, how often he blitzes, and the different blitzes he uses. They break down the different kinds of coverages the Giants are expected to use. They also dive into the different kinds of personnel and everything else that will go into making the Giants' defense in 2020 and hopefully beyond. This is probably the deepest dive Big Blue Banter pod yet as it pertains to the Xs and Os -- nitty gritty of the great game of football.
