The defensive coordinator of the New York Giants, Patrick Graham, is quite satisfied with his unit this season, but his patience has run out in the previous three weeks. And on Thursday, it came out completely through the window.
After the defense started slowly in training, Graham stopped the exercises and started giving a swearing speech before resuming the entire session from the beginning.
“Our daily focus is to improve each day. We have to do a better combat job. I have to do a better job training him. Be it the attack, the scheme or whatever. This is what I took from any previous week. I’m just trying to learn from that week and what we can do better, ”Graham told reporters before training.
The Giants’ defense was the team’s strength before the Week 14 game against the Arizona Cardinals, but things have gotten worse since then. They yielded 26 points for the Cardinals, 20 points for the Cleveland Browns and 27 points for the Baltimore Ravens.
With an attack he is struggling to score, Graham knows he is not effective enough.
“I have to do a better job of coaching. I have to do a better job of coaching and outlining the plan. I have to do a better job of calling him, mixing in the zone and man and things like that, ”added Graham. “I don’t know if they are finding out. It’s football, these guys also win, and they have good players, so they perform. It’s just a matter of me having to train better, I have to do a better job. I’m working on it every day just trying to get better. “
With the season at stake this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, the Giants’ defense has no room for error. Righteous or unfair, they will have to carry the load and Graham wants them to be ultra focused. Clearly.
