In an inevitable move, Steve Spagnuolo returned to the Giants, the team that helped make his name and career. Having him back as defensive coordinator not only gives fans something to hope for, but also gives the players a new voice and system to learn and potentially succeed in. Spagnuolo brings back the attacking approach to defense that he learned from his mentor and coaching great Jim Johnson, something this team sorely needs to re-utilize. The Giants have been far too passive in the read style defense employed by Perry Fewell, which left them vulnerable to be picked apart by even the most struggling offenses. It will be interesting to see what his plans will be for the current roster and how the Giants plan to accommodate his style. His familiarity with Coughlin and management however, should make all of that pretty simple.
